8 lbs. small green tomatoes. Pierce each with a fork.
7 lbs. sugar.
4 lemons—the juice only.
1 oz. ginger and mace mixed.
Heat all together slowly, and boil until the fruit is clear. Take it
from the kettle in a perforated skimmer, and spread upon dishes to
cool. Boil the syrup thick. Put the fruit into jars and cover with hot
syrup.
