Strawberry Drops

Pass a quantity of ripe strawberries through a fine hair sieve, and mix with them some coarsely sifted sugar. Put the paste into a sugar-boiler with a lip to it, and stir it over the fire until boiling; then let the drops fall slowly from the lip of the pan on to a baking-sheet, leaving a small space between each. When cold, place the drops onto a sieve, and dry them in a hot closet. Keep them packed in canisters.
