Cranberry Sauce and Jelly
Pick out the soft and decayed ones from a quantity of Cape cranberries; measure a pint, and put with it half the bulk of sugar, and one fourth the bulk of water. Stew the berries ten minutes without stirring, counting the time from the moment when they are actually bubbling. Done in this way, the skins will be tender, and the juice on cooling will form a delicate jelly. Or, the fruit may be pressed through a soup-strainer and the whole made into jelly.
