XIV. BRANDY PEACHES AND OTHER BRANDIED FRUITS.

I. Old and New Ways of Preserving.

ANY persons, not much past middle age, can remember the time when preserving meant cooking the articles in sugar, pound for pound, making a conserve rather than a preserve. The other plan of preserving was to dry the fruit in the sun, having first cut it into thin strips, or other sections. Since then, the world has moved. Very little preserving, in the old-fashioned way, with sugar, " pound for pound," is now done. The fruits are either dried, put up in self-sealing cans or made into jelly.
