Pare the quinces; cut in small squares; cover with water, and stew until tender; pour into a colander, and drain. To each pint of the juice, add three-fourths pint of sugar. Let boil, and skim well for ten or fifteen minutes; then put in the quinces; cook until the syrup begins to jell. Put in glasses, and seal same as jelly.
CANNED PINEAPPLE. MRS. LULU DANN.
Take equal measurements of shredded pineapple and sugar. Place in a crock alternately, a layer of shredded pineapple and one of sugar; let this stand over night. In the morning, drain off the juice, and to three cups of juice, add one cup of water. After this mixture comes to a boil, put in the pulp of your pineapple, and let boil up (not cook). Seal in self sealing jars.
