To preserve Cherries.
TAKE the weight of your cherries in sugar before you stone
them; when stoned, make your syrup, then put in your cherries,
let them boil softly at the first, till they are thoroughly warmed,
then boil them as fast as you can; when they are boiled clear, put
in the jelly, with almost the weight in sugar; strew the sugar on
the cherries, for colouring you must be ruled by your eye; so a
pound of sugar put a jack of water, strew your sugar on them
before they boil, and put in the juice of currants soon after they
boil.
