Nectar

Take off the thin rind of two fresh lemons, and put it into an earthenware jar with one pound of chopped raisins and a pound and a half of sugar. Pour over these ingredients two gallons of boiling water, let the liquid stand until cold, then add the strained juice of the lemons, and leave it in a cool place for a week, stirring it every day. Strain it through a jelly-bag until quite clear, and bottle it for present use. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. Sufficient for two gallons of nectar.
