Stew the currants with the sugar and water, when soft pour them boiling
into a pudding basin, which has been lined with slices of bread, about
half an inch thick. Cover the basin with a plate, on which place a heavy
weight. Turn out when cold; the bread should then have become soaked
with juice.
Stewed Fruit.
Cherries, currants, raspberries or plums, white sugar, water.
All these fruits require picking, and washing in cold water. Place the
fruit in the stew-pan with the sugar and sufficient water to cover it,
and simmer till tender. Cherries, red currants and raspberries stewed
together and poured over a slice of bread or a penny sponge cake, make a
delicious summer sweet.
Lemon Creams. Time—½ hour.
