Directions

Take any quantity of the red plums, and put them into a stone jar.

Set this into a pot of water, having first tied a piece of clean cloth over the top of the jar; bladder is best if you have it at hand. Let your fruit-jar remain till the fruit is soft; remove all the stones that you can find; measure your pulp into a preserving pan, and to every six pints of fruit add four pounds of good soft sugar; break some of the stones, and add the kernels to the fruit; boil all up for nearly an hour, and put by in jars; cover when cold with papers dipped in white of egg.
