Raspberries, Compote Of

Pick a pint of freshly-gathered and perfectly sound raspberries, or if preferred take half a pint of raspberries and half a pint of red currants. Boil five ounces of loaf sugar in a quarter of a pint of water for ten minutes, put in the picked fruit, and let it simmer gently for six minutes. Lift the raspberries out carefully, and put them into a glass dish. Let the syrup boil a minute longer, and when it is cold pour it over the fruit. Serve as an accompaniment to simple milk puddings of various kinds. Time, twenty minutes. Probable cost, 5d. to 8d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
