1 pound sliced citron.

3 pounds currants.

4 pounds seeded raisins.

½ ounce nutmeg, and the same of mace, cloves, and cinnamon.

Half pint wine.

Half pint French cooking brandy.

Mix and divide into six parts. Tie each part in a twilled cotton cloth, put them in boiling water, and let them boil four hours. Then hang them in the air to dry a day or two. Keep them in a cool, dry place.

When you wish to use one, it must be boiled an hour before dinner. Serve with rich sauce. It will keep six months or a year.—Mrs. T. M. C.
