Barberry Jelly

The fruit should be quite ripe. Strip the berries, wash them in clear spring water, and put them into a jar with only the water that clings to them. Place the jar in a vessel of boiling water; cover the top of the jar, and in one hour they will be fit to strain. To every pound of juice put one pound and a quarter of sugar; boil quickly five minutes. Probable cost of barberries, 4d. to 5d. per pint.
