Preserved Gooseberries

Put into a preserving-pan five pounds of gooseberries with one pound of sugar dusted over them and set the pan on the fire; when the juice commences to come out take off the pan. Repeat this process for two days more, then take the gooseberries out of the syrup, drain them on sieves and place them to dry either before the fire or in the sun, the latter for preference. After taking out of the pan, they may be dipped in fine sugar and packed away in boxes.
