  A SUMMER BEVERAGE. Put into a jar 2 quarts of raspberries, and pour over them a quart of good vinegar. Let stand 24 hours, strain it well; pour this liquid over 2 more quarts of berries, let stand again 24 hours; strain it through a jelly bag. Allow ¾ pound of good white granulated sugar to every pint of juice, stir well, put into a stone jar and cover closely. Put it in a kettle of boiling water for one hour, strain, and bottle, seal, and it is ready for use the same summer. One teaspoonful to a glass of cold water is the way to prepare it for a beverage. Mrs. R. R. Crapo. CONFECTIONERY.Granulated sugar is preferable. Candy should not be stirred while boiling. Cream tartar should not be added until syrup begins to boil. Butter should be put in when candy is almost done. Flavors are more delicate when not boiled in candy, but added afterward. Abbie Mac Flinn. |
