ripe.

One

take

a

slice

from

outside

of

the

fruit,

just

deep

enough

to

include

the

eyes,

and

retain

these

in

of

pitcher

containers.

Now

slice

the

re-

mainder

of

the

fruit

down

to

the

core

and

retain

these

shoes

in

another

pitcher.

The

slices

containing

the

eyes

and

the

core

are

now

passed

through

the chopper,

using

the

fine

knives.

A

large

amount

of

juice

and

pulp

is

obtained.

Place

in

cheese

cloth

to

strain,

squeeze

the

pulp

until

it

is

free

from

juice

and

reject

it.

The

second

slicing

is

passed

through

the

fine

knives

of

the

chopper

and

mixed

with

the

juice

already

obtained.

To

the

whole

is

then

added

enough

rock

candy

syrup

to

make

a

gallon.
