To preserve Currants.
TAKE the weight of the currants in sugar, prick out the seeds;
to a pound of sugar put half a jack of water, let it melt, then put
in your berries and let them do very leisurely, skim them, and
take them up, let the syrup boil, then put them on again, and
when they are clear, boil the syrup thick enough, take them off,
and when they are cold put them up in glasses.
