Preserved Gages
- Take equal weights of gages and sugar; dissolve the sugar in just sufficient water to cover the plums; boil them slowly in the sirup ten minutes; turn them into a dish, and let them remain four or five days; boil them again, till the sirup appears to have entered the plums; put them up; in a week, turn the sirup from them, scald it, turn it over them hot; and, when cold, tie them up.
