Canned Plums Without Cooking.— This recipe comes from the plum belt of central New York, and will be found very satisfactory: Take enough large yellow egg plums to fill a quart can. Put them into a granite or earthen pan and pour boiling water over them, let stand three minutes, then drain. Pour over more boiling water, which will crack the skins. Remove the skins, and place the plums carefully in a hot sterilized glass jar. Have ready a thick syrup made by boiling two cupfuls of granulated sugar

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