Gooseberry Biscuits

Gather the fruit when full grown, but not ripe; put them into a jar and set them to boil in a kettle of water till soft, then rub through a sieve. To every pound of pulp allow a pound of loaf sugar; stir the mass over the fire until the sugar is dissolved, then pour it into shallow dishes to dry in the sun or in a cool oven. When it begins to candy it may be cut into any desired shapes. Turn them every day until they become dry and hard, and keep in tin boxes in a dry place.
