bottles, and cork well.

No. 65—TUTTI-FRUTTI IN ARRACK.
1 qt. of arrack or rum
1 lb. of strawberries
1 lb. of raspberries
½ lb. of large, red, stoned cherries
6 lbs. of sugar
½ lb. of large, black, stoned cherries
½ lb. of blue, peeled plums
10 medium-sized peaches
10 apricots
10 good preserving pears
Preparation: The fruit must be ripe but not soft. Take each fruit as
it appears in the market, clean it and put into a large jar. For
instance, if strawberries are in the market, prepare these, wash and
drain them, put them first into the jar with ½ lb. of sugar and ½ pt.
of arrack. Close the jar well and if it is a stone jar, tie it up
well. Continue to put in the rest of the fruit as it comes and use the
rest of the sugar and arrack, closing the jar or can well every time.
Peaches, pears and apricots must be peeled and quartered before they
are put in and pears should be boiled partly done in sugar and water.
Remarks: After the fruit has all been used, the juice may be used for
pudding sauce.
