Fruit, to Bottle

Currants, gooseberries, and other fruit may be thus preserved. After freeing them from stalks, put them into wide-mouthed glass bottles, and shake them that the bottles may be full; place the receptacles, lightly corked, into a nearly cold oven for four or five hours. When the fruit shrivels, remove it from the oven, and cork the bottles tightly and quickly, tying down securely with leather. Keep in a dry place.
