them up, let the syrup boil; put them on again, and when
they are clear, and the syrup thick enough, take them off,
and when they are cold put them up in glasses.
To preserve Raspberries. Take raspberries that are not
too ripe, and take the weight of them in sugar, wet the
sugar with a little water, and put in the berries, and
let them boil softly, take heed of breaking them ; when
they are clear, take them up, and boil the syrup till it
be thick enough, then put them in again, and when they
are cold put them in glasses.
To preserve Cherries. Take their weight in sugar be-

enough ; so put all into a gallipot for use.

in a sieve, and put them in long wide-mouthed bottles :
to half a dozen of peaches, take a quarter ot a pound
of sugar, clarify it, pour it ovev your peaches, and fil1
