Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Fresh well-washed black berries
Sugar

Mash the berries with a potato masher. Measure the pulp and add one pint of su
gar to each pint of pulp. Bring the mixture to a full bubble and cook 30 minut
es. Be sure to skim the mixture while it is in the pot, so that the paraffin w
ill seal properly. The best skimmer is a wooden spoon. Ladle the preserves in
to sterilized jars. Melt paraffin carefully, removing all bubbles with a steri
lized spoon. Pour it until it is about 1/4 inch thick on top of each jar of pr
eserves. Let it stand and harden.
