If from deficiency of sugar, or being kept too warm, or not closely covered, any of your sweetmeats turn sour, do not hastily throw them away, but carefully remove the surface, (even if coated with blue mould), add an additional portion of sugar so as to make them very sweet, and put them into a Bain-Marie. Fill the outer kettle with hot water, and boil it till you find the preserves restored to their proper taste. Then put them up again in jars that have been well scalded, rinsed, and sunned, and lay brandied paper on the surface of each.
Mouldy pickles may be recovered in a similar manner, adding fresh spices and vinegar before you put them up again.
Bain-Marie; or, Double Kettle. (Pronounced Bine Maree.)
