Raspberries, Prepared for Dessert

An hour before it is to be used, take up the fruit, examine it, and carefully remove every hull, and every imperfect or decayed portion. Have ready a basin of cold water. Take a small handful of raspberries at a time, and pass them quickly through the water without allowing them to remain in it for a second. Put them into the dish in which they are to be served, and sprinkle powdered white sugar plentifully over them. This process will freshen the fruit, and not do it any harm. Care should be taken not to touch the fruit after it has been picked until within an hour before it is to be served.
