Sh'awben'z'cs.—-Gather your berries before they become too ripe, and lay them separately on a dish; beat and siﬂ their weight of sugar, and strew it over them. When it is dissolved, pour it off, clarify it, then put in the strawberries and boil them slowly until done. Do not put all the straw berries into the kettle at one time, as they are apt to mash.

Take them out as soon as they are done, and put them in glasses. If you have any small berries, bruisemthem and strain them; to a pint of juice take one pound of sugar, add it to the liquor that was poured of! the strawberries, and it will make the syrup much richer. Red Currant JeIly.—To a pint of juice take one pound of sugar; coddle your currants, then strain the juice through a ﬂannel bag and put it over the tire. First dissolve the sugar in the juice, with the white of an egg, scum it well, and let it boil gently till it is done. When you coddle your currants, put them in an earthen pot, cover them close. and stand them in a pot of boiling water for one hour. You may strain yourjelly after it is cleared. . Ozhsart Chem'a.—Take three-quarters of a pound of white sugar to one pound of cherries. stemmed and stoned; melt the sugar with a small quantity of water. When the syrup boils, and is well skimmed, put in the cherries and let them boil moderately until they look clear; take them out of the syrup, and when cool, put them injars or glasses; let the syrup boil 0. little more, and when cool pour it over the cherries.

Mix the

‘ seasoning with the tomato pnlps, and let it boil slowly 2 during four hours; then take it out of the kettle, and let it stand until next day in an uncovered dish.

When cold, stir

into it one pint of the best cider vinegar. Put it in clean bottles, and seal the corks. Gooseberry Human—Take the ripest gooseberries you can ﬁnd, crush them with your hand in a tub; to every peck of gooseberries put two gallon of water, mix them well to gether. and let them work for three weeks; stir them up three or four times a day, then strain the liquor through a hair sieve, and to every gallon add a pound of brown sugar, one quart of molasses, and a spoonful of fresh harm, and let it work three or four days in the same tub well washed, then run it into iron-hooped barrels. and let it stand twelve months, after which draw it into bottles for use. This far exceeds any white wine vinegar. Chcrries—Spiced.—Take common pie cherries, and weigh white sugar pound for pound. First melt the sugar by put ting a little water on it and setting it over the ﬁre; when it begins to hell put the cherries in—having previously stem med and stoned them. Let them bell (not too fast) until they look clear—then take them out of the syrup, and when tolerably cool put them in jars. When the syrup has cooled somewhat, add ground cinnamon to your liking, and a very small quantity of vinegar, just enough to give it a pleasant ﬂavor. and pour it over the cherries. When cold, cover them. Sugar “hogan—Put nine pounds of brown sugar to every six gallons of water; boil it for a quarter of an hour, then put. it in a tub, lukewarm, adding a pint of new barm.

Let

it work for four or ﬁve days, stir it three or four times aday; then turn it into a clean barrel, iron~hooped, and set it in the

sun. If you make it in February, it will be ﬁt for usein August. You may use it for most sorts of pickles, except mushrooms and walnuts. OBIAHS,‘&
