through a cloth; weigh and add three-fourths of a pound of sugar to
every pint of juice. Cook ten minutes; pour into molds and set aside to
cool. Serve with poultry, game or mutton.
STEWED CRANBERRIES
Boil together one and one-half cups of sugar and one cup of water for
seven minutes, then add three cups of cranberries, well washed and
picked, and cook until the berries burst. Serve the same as cranberry
sauce.

grated nutmeg; add chopped parsley; thicken with a teaspoon of flour or
