Stewed Fruit.
Cherries, currants, raspberries or plums, white sugar, water.
All these fruits require picking, and washing in cold water. Place the fruit in the stew-pan with the sugar and sufficient water to cover it, and simmer till tender. Cherries, red currants and raspberries stewed together and poured over a slice of bread or a penny sponge cake, make a delicious summer sweet.
