Lemon Juice, to Preserve

Choose fine fresh lemons, and squeeze the juice from them. Strain it through muslin, and put it into bottles, pour over it sufficient olive-oil to cover it entirely, and cork the bottles securely. It will keep for some time. Or, put half a pint of strained lemon-juice into a basin, and with it half a pound of finely-pounded and sifted loaf sugar. Stir it with a silver spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Put it into small bottles, cork it closely, and tie bladder over the corks. Probable cost of lemons, 1d. each.
