Bottled Red Currants

Pick from the stalks some currants barely ripe, and of the red variety; pack them very closely into bottles, fill up the bottles with twenty-two degree syrup. Place them in a pan with hot water, and let their contents boil for ten minutes. Then take the bottles out of the water, cork them, and when cold they are ready for storing.
