Syrup

3 cups light-brown 2 cups cold water sugar Cook sugar and water together, stirring until sugar is melted. Skim well while boiling. Boil for about thirty minutes, or until a little of the liquid put on cold saucer will thicken. Syrup may be flavored with maple, using part maple sugar.

Brewis (from Boston Brown Bread) Take dry Boston brown bread and break into small pieces, having two cupfuls. Put into saucepan, add milk enough to cover (one pint or more). Let soak awhile on back of stove; when all is soft draw saucepan forward and let simmer until milk is absorbed. Add a little salt and a tablespoonful of butter. Serve with cream.
