How to preserve a husband

Ingredients

Directions

First, use care and get one not too young, but tender and a healthy growth. Make your selection carefully and let it be final, otherwise they will not keep. Do not pickle or put in hot water, this makes them sour. Like wine they sweeten with age. Prepare as follows: Sweeten with smiles according to variety. The sour bitter kind are improved by a pinch of common sense. Spice with patience. Wrap well in a mantle of charity. Preserve over a good fire of steady devotion.

Serve with peaches and cream.

NOTE: The poorest varieties may be improved by this process and keep for years in any climate.
