Preserved Strawberries. Mrs. Kate Martin, Tiffin, Ohio
Use one pound of granulated sugar to each quart of berries. Make a syrup of the sugar, and sufficient water to moisten it. While boiling, drop in the berries, and let them boil ten minutes. Skim out the fruit, and put it on a platter. Boil the syrup ten minutes longer; then pour it over the berries, and set where it will get the sun for two days. Put in jelly glasses, and seal. Made in this way, the fruit retains both color and flavor.
