American Crab-Apple Jam

After removing all stalks and unsound parts from the fruit, wipe them well, and spread out before the fire to make sure that the peels are thoroughly dried. Then weigh the fruit and put it into a preserving-pan, together with an equal quantity of preserving-sugar, and enough white wine to moisten. Allow this to boil well, skim well, and while it is boiling, put in a few pieces of lemon peel, chopped, or a small quantity of cloves, and continue boiling until the fruit begins to break, then place it in large glass jars. Tie down when cold.
