SPICED BLACKBERRIES.

To six pints fruit take two and one-half pints sugar, one and one-half pints vinegar, one-half ounce cinnamon (ground), one-half ounce cloves, one-half ounce allspice, a little mace broken in small pieces. Boil the sugar and vinegar together, with the spices, putting these last into muslin bags. Then put in the berries and let them scald, not boil.

☞ In canning fruit, to a pound of fruit allow one-fourth to one-half pound sugar, according to taste.
