  1. Set them stand in sand.

To preserve Damſons whole. SET them stand in sand. The next day put them in a preserving-pan, set them on a gentle fire, and set them simmer a little while, then let them boil till tender and clear, taking them off sometimes to turn and skim. Keep them under the liquor as they are doing, and with a small clean bodkin or great needle job them sometimes, that the syrup may penetrate into them. When they are enough, take them up and put them in glasses. Boil and skim your syrup; and when it is cold, put it on your apricots.
