RASPBERRY AND CURRANT, or any Fresh Fruit Salad

Instructions

1. Fruit salads are made by stripping the fruit from the stalks, piling it on a dish, and sprinkling over it finely-pounded sugar.
2. They may be made of strawberries, raspberries, currants, or any of these fruits mixed; peaches also make a very good salad.
3. After the sugar is sprinkled over, about 6 large tablespoonfuls of wine or brandy, or 3 tablespoonfuls of liqueur, should be poured in the middle of the fruit; and, when the flavour is liked, a little pounded cinnamon may be added.
4. In helping the fruit, it should be lightly stirred, that the wine and sugar may be equally distributed.
5. _Sufficient._--1-1/2 pint of fruit, with 3 oz. of pounded sugar, for 4 or 5 persons.
