February 23rd : PRESERVED PINEAPPLE
Cut off the rind, and divide the pine into tolerably thick slices ; boil the rind in half a pint of water, with a pound of loaf sugar, in powder, and the juice of a lemon for twenty minutes.
Strain this liquor and boil the slices in it for a quarter of an hour ; next day pour off the syrup ;boil it, taking care to remove the scum as it rises, and pour the liquor quite hot over the fruit ; tiedown the jar with bladder, having brandied paper over the preserve.
