A DELICIOUS COMPOTE
Make a rich syrup of sugar and water and add one spoonful of port wine, and a few thin slices of lemon with the rind on; drop in pears that have been peeled and quartered. When soft remove fruit, then add in same syrup plums, when soft remove them, then add peaches, and when soft turn all over fruit that had previously been cooked. Cool and serve together.
