them. Place in a large preserving pan and just cover
with water. Boil until cluite soft but not pulpy. Put

be cloudy. Measure the juice and allow one pound of
sugar to each pint of liquid. Put t:he juice and sugar

heat and allow to rest for a few mlnutes. Add about a
tablespoonful of whisky to the juice (ciuantity
according to taste). Pour immediately into warm jars
and seal. Do not use for at least 3 months.
