Pick out the finest bunches and sprigs of fine ripe clear
berries――reject all faulty ones――lay them in as much water as will be
requisite for making their syrup, and boil them until they are tender.
Now strain them upon a sieve, and to every pint of their juice add a
pound and half of best refined sugar, boil and skim this thoroughly,
and to each pint of the syrup put half a pound of the fruit in bunches
and boil them very gently until they become quite bright and clear.
When cold put them into clear glasses and pour the syrup to them. Use
brandy paper, and paste writing paper over the glasses.
