Ingredients

Cut the pine into slices 1/4 inch in thickness;

Put the parings and hard pieces into a stewpan with sufficient water to cover them, and boil for 1/4 hour.
Strain the liquor, and put in the slices of pine.
Stew them for 10 minutes, add sufficient sugar to sweeten the whole nicely, and boil again for another 1/4 hour;
skim well, and the preserve will be ready for use.
It must be eaten soon, as it will keep but a very short time.
