  1. Fill bottles—such as are used by confectioners—with the fruit.
  2. Place the bottles in a fish kettle with cold water, and a little hay to keep them steady.
  3. The fish kettle ought to be nearly full of water when the bottles are in it.
  4. Let it come to the boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes.
  5. Have a kettle ready with boiling water, and fill up each bottle with boiling water as you take it out.
  6. Instantly tie it down with a bladder—it requires two persons to do this, one to pour in the water, the other to tie down the bladder quickly.
  7. If the bladder becomes concave as the water cools, the fruit will keep well for a year.

Gooseberries. (As bottled at Trebah. 1880.) Fill bottles—such as are used by confectioners—with the fruit, and place the bottles in a fish kettle with cold water, and a little hay to keep them steady. The fish kettle ought to be nearly full of water when the bottles are in it. Let it come to the boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes. Have a kettle ready with boiling water, and fill up each bottle with boiling water as you take it out, and instantly tie it down with a bladder—it requires two persons to do this, one to pour in the water, the other to tie down the bladder quickly. If the bladder becomes concave as the water cools, the fruit will keep well for a year. Plums can be bottled in the same way.
