Damson, Solid

Skin, core, and quarter one pound and a quarter of good boiling apples, put them into a preserving-pan with one pound of damson-juice (extracted from the fruit by placing it in a cool oven at night, or setting it in a jar in hot water), boil them both together for half an hour, then add three-quarters of a pound of good pounded sugar, and after the sugar has dissolved boil for another ten minutes. If the apples are good, and the recipe carefully attended to, small moulds of this solid fruit will help to fill up successfully many vacancies on a supper-table.
