And a salad of several kinds of fruits makes an altogether charming
dish. Try it some time. Have half a pound of perfectly ripe cherries,
remove the stalks and stones; have the same quantity of currants, but
have a part of them red and the other part white, just to make the
dish a bit prettier, and have a quarter of a pound each of raspberries
and strawberries. Sprinkle over the fruit plenty of powdered white
sugar and three tablespoons of brandy. Shake about lightly that the
sugar may dissolve before it is served.
