Use only the best ripe berries, discarding all the soft and inferior ones, which may be used for marmalade or strained sauce. Wash the berries, and then put them into a double boiler. In a separate vessel cook together for 10 minutes one-half as much sugar as you have berries, and half as much water as sugar. Then pour this boiling syrup over the berries in the double boiler, and place the latter over a hot fire, and cook until the berries are done. This will take about 1 hour. Do not stir the berries, but from time to time press them down under the syrup, so that all may be equally cooked. Be careful that the water does not get too low in the outside boiler. Cooked in this manner the skins do not separate from the pulp, and the cranberries appear more like stewed cherries.- [N. M. P., N. H.
