dipped in rum and smooth the overhang over the jars necks, tying
with thin twine.

14 1 pint jars).

packages and consists of 65 percent sugar and 35 percent benzoic acid.

To test for setting point: Spoon a little of the conserve onto a
chilled saucer. Leave for a few minutes - then hold saucer upside
down. If conserve doesn t run, then setting point has been reached.
