Fruit without Sugar for Winter Pies
- Cherries, gooseberries, currants, blackberries, prunes & other small fruit
Put the fruit closely packed into widemouthed bottles. Take only the ones that are whole and without blemish. Shake them down closely.
Have new corks to fit loosely. Put the corks in the bottles and set the bottles in an oven that is almost cold for 5 hours. The slower they are done, the better.
When the fruit begins to shrink in the bottles and is thoroughly warmed through, take them out. Before they are cold, drive the corks in tightly.
Set them in a rack with the corks down and they will keep for years.
