To Dry Morella Cherries

Instructions

1. Take off the stalks but do not stone the fruit; weigh and add to it an equal quantity of the best sugar reduced quite to powder.
2. Strew it over the cherries and let them stand for half an hour.
3. Then turn them gently into a preserving-pan, and simmer them softly from five to seven minutes.
4. Drain them from the syrup, and dry them like the Kentish cherries. They make a very fine confection.
