Put the juice into a preserving-pan, and allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of juice, including the weight of the raspberries left whole. Let the sugar and juice boil, skimming it, and at the end of twenty minutes put in the rest of the fruit, and let it boil for ten minutes longer. "When the pre- serve is boiled enough — it is so if the syrup jellies when a little is put on a plate to cool — take it off the fire, and pot in the usual way.
