  1. Pare the pines, and cut them in slices of about the same thickness as you would apples for fritters.
  2. Take the weight of the fruit in the best sugar; sift it very fine, and put a layer of sugar, then a layer of pineapple; let it stand till the sugar is entirely dissolved.
  3. Then drain off the syrup, and lay the pine in the pot in which you intend to keep it.
  4. Boil the syrup, adding a little more sugar and water to make it rich; pour it, but not too hot, upon the fruit.
  5. Repeat this in about ten days; look at it now and then, and, if the syrup ferments, boil it up again, skim it, and pour it warm upon the pine.
  6. The parings of the pineapple boil in the water you use for the syrup, and extract all the flavour from them.

Pineapple, to preserve in slices. Pare the pines, and cut them in slices of about the same thickness as you would apples for fritters. Take the weight of the fruit in the best sugar; sift it very fine, and put a layer of sugar, then a layer of pineapple; let it stand till the[303] sugar is entirely dissolved. Then drain off the syrup, and lay the pine in the pot in which you intend to keep it; boil the syrup, adding a little more sugar and water to make it rich; pour it, but not too hot, upon the fruit. Repeat this in about ten days; look at it now and then, and, if the syrup ferments, boil it up again, skim it, and pour it warm upon the pine. The parings of the pineapple boil in the water you use for the syrup, and extract all the flavour from them.
