Strawberries, Bottled, for Flavouring Purposes

Gather the fruit in dry weather, pick it from the bolls, discard any bruised or unsound berries, and allow for it an equal weight of finely-powdered sugar. Fill perfectly dry wide-mouthed bottles with alternate layers of fruit and sugar, and shake them gently to mix them. Cork the bottles closely, and cover the corks with bladder which has been cleaned, dried, and moistened with spirit on the side which is to be next the cork. Store in a cool dry place. The strawberries should be perfectly fresh when they are thus preserved.
