STRAWBERRY AND RASPBERRY FOOL. Bruise a pint of scarlet strawberries,
and a pint of raspberries, pass them through a sieve, and sweeten them
with half a pound of fine sugar pounded, add a spoonful of orange-flower
water, then boil it over the fire, for two or three minutes; take it
off, and set on a pint and a half of cream, boil it and stir it till it
is cold; when the pulp is cold, put them together, and stir them till
they are well mixed; put the fool into glasses, or basins, as you think
proper.

STRAWBERRY JAM. Dissolve four pounds of lump sugar in a quart of currant
juice, then boil and scum it quite clean. Mash four quarts of
raspberries, and mix with it. Let it boil quick, over a clear fire, for
nearly an hour, or till the sugar and raspberries are quite mixed. This
may be known by putting a little on a plate; if the juice drains from
the fruit, it must be boiled longer. When done enough, put it into pots,
and the next day put brandy papers over them. Tie them down with another
paper, and set the jars in a dry place.

STRAWBERRIES PRESERVED. To keep whole strawberries, take equal weights
of the fruit and double refined sugar. Lay the strawberries in a large
dish, and sprinkle over them half the sugar in fine powder. Shake the
dish gently, that the sugar may touch the under side of the fruit. Next
day make a thin syrup with the remainder of the sugar, and instead of
water, allow to every pound of strawberries a pint of red currant juice.
Simmer the fruit in this, until sufficiently jellied. Choose the largest
scarlet strawberries, before they are dead ripe. They will eat well in
thin cream, served up in glasses.

STRAWBERRIES IN WINE. Put a quantity of the finest strawberries into a
gooseberry bottle, and strew in three spoonfuls of fine sugar. Fill up
the bottle with madeira, or fine sherry.

STRENGTHENING DRAUGHT. For weakly persons, any of the following
preparations will be highly beneficial. Put two calves' feet in two
pints of water, and the same quantity of new milk; bake them in a jar
closely covered, three hours and a half. When cold remove the fat, and
take a large teacupful of the mucilage, morning and evening. It may be
flavoured by baking in it lemon peel, cinnamon, or mace: sugar is to be
added afterwards.--Or simmer six sheeps' trotters, with two blades of
mace, a bit of cinnamon, lemon peel, a few hartshorn shavings, and a
little isinglass, in two quart
