DAMSONS, or any kind of Plums, to Preserve. (Useful in Winter.)

_Ingredients._—Damsons or plums; boiling water. _Mode._—Pick the fruit

into clean dry stone jars, taking care to leave out all that are broken

or blemished. When full, pour boiling water on the plums, until it

stands one inch above the fruit; cut a piece of paper to fit the inside

of the jar, over which pour melted mutton-suet; cover down with brown

paper, and keep the jars in a dry cool place. When used, the suet

should be removed, the water poured off, and the jelly at the bottom of

the jar used and mixed with the fruit. _Seasonable_ in September and

October.
