To keep Damsons.





















Take damsons when they are first ripe, pick them carefully, wipe them clean, put them into snuff[?] bottles, stop them up tight so that no air can get to them, nor water; put nothing into the bottles but plumbs; put the bottles into cold water, handthem over the fire, let them heat slowly, let the water boil slowly, for half an hour, when the water is cold take out the bottles, set the bottles into a cold place, they will keep twelve months if the bottles are stopped tight, so as no air nor water can get to them.  They will not keep long after the bottles are opened; the plumbs must be hard.    American Cookery  Amelia Simmons  1796   Albany  New York
