1344 | Preserved Green-gages.
—Procure two hundred and fifty fine, ripe green-gages, selecting those which break easily from the stones; wash them well in cold water, drain thoroughly, then divide them equally into the ten patent glass jars, exactly as described for peaches (No. 1340). Fill up with five quarts of thirty-degree syrup (No. 1339), and finish preparing them the same as for peaches, but boiling them only for eight minutes instead of ten; put them away the same as the other fruits. The best time to procure green-gages is from August 1 to September 1.
