Rasberries. GATHER your rasberries on a dry day, when they are just turning red, with the stalks on about an inch long. Lay them singly on a dish, then beat and sift their weight of double-refined sugar, and strew it over them. To every quart of rasberries take a quart of red-currant jelly juice, and put to it its weight of double-refined sugar. Boil and skim it well, then put in your rasber-ries, and give them a scald. Take them off, and let them stand for two hours. Then set them on again, and make them a little hotter. Proceed in this manner two or three times till they look clear; but do not let them boil, as that will make the stalks come off. When they are tolerably cool, put them into jelly-glasses with the stalks downwards. White rasberries must be preferred in the same manner, only observing, that instead of red, you use white currant juice.
