Compote of Sultanas.—Pick and well wash half a pound
of sultanas, and put them into a stewpan with enough cold
water to cover them, bring to the boil, then strain and rinse
them and return to the stewpan; add one ounce of castor
sugar, a quarter of a pint of water, one bayleaf, and a piece
of cinnamon about an inch long tied up together, boil for
about half an hour, then remove the bayleaf and cinnamon,
and use.
