Preserved Bartlett Pears. — Procure one hundred medium-sized^ sound, and fully ripe pears, fit to eat in their natural state; peel them carefully keeping them in their original form, then split in halves, and cut out the cores and seeds. Fill ten lightning-glass jars with the pears, and pour over five quarts of syrup (No. 1339)
