Barberries, to Preserve. — Choose fine bunches of the berries, or, if needful, make up pretty groups by binding them delicately together with white filoselle or fine sewing silk, and stone them with a needle. Cover the bottom of a preserving pan three inches deep with syrup, boiled to the thread, now put in the fruit, and let it boil up again, lifting the pan off directly it boils ; let it stand for half an hour, then boil up again and lift out the fruit ; now boil the sugar again for ten minutes

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
