Raspberries Preserved in Currant Juice. * J Use twelve quarts of raspberries, three quarts of cur- rants, and three quarts of sugar. Free the currants of leaves and stems, and put them into the preserving-kettle and on the fire. Cook slowly for an hour, stirring and mashing frequently. Spread a square of cheese-cloth in a colander, and place the colander over the preserving- kettle ; then pour in the hot fruit and juice, and squeeze as much juice as possible from the currants and through PRESERVING. 833 the cloth. Now add the sugar to the currant juice, and place the kettle over the fire. Stir frequently until the sugar is melted. Have the raspberries stripped from the stems and freed of leaves, and when the syrup begins to boil, put the fruit into it. Let the fruit boil for ten minutes. Skim the raspberries from the syrup, and put them in glass jars that have been placed in a pan of cold water and kept over the fire until the water boiled. Keep the covers hot in another pan of water. Now fill the jars with hot syrup, and put on the covers immediately. There will be about a quart of syrup left. Seal it in a jar ; it will be nice to use in making sauces or dishes for dessert in the winter. * Raspberries Preserved in their Own Juice. Use sixteen quarts of raspberries and four quarts of sugar. Do the same as with raspberries preserved in cur- rant juice, only substituting four quarts of raspberries for three quarts of currants
