Almack's Preserves

(Old English recipe.) Split, pare, and stone 2 dozen plums, 1 dozen apples, 1 dozen pears. Arrange them in an earthen jar in alternate layers, adding 1 pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Set in a pan of water and stir constantly on the fire until thick, about 1 hour. When cold, cut in slices.
