“Cover the berries with cold water and let boil a few
minutes until done. Then strain, and to every pint of juice
add one pound of granulated sugar. Put back on the fire.
Tie up a little cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a thin muslin
bag, and let boil with the juice until the latter is a pretty
thick syrup, then take off, and when it is thoroughly cold
add one-third as much good brandy or whisky as you have
syrup. It is not necessary to seal it.”

Joint chicken or cut in joints, dip in sweet milk, dredge with white corn meal instead of flour ; salt and pepper. Fry in boiling hot fat. (I preferred lard and butter mixed.)
Make a cream gravy. Serve with corn fritters made of canned or fresh corn. For three to four, one can of corn or six ears cut. Make a batter same as for hot cakes; put corn, salt and sugar to taste. Pour out of end of spoon into boiling fat. Cook a golden brown and serve.
