Dried Barberries

Barberries, for this purpose, must be perfectly red and ripe; they must be gathered in bunches, washed, drained, and put in a pan with 28 degrees' syrup, partially cold, and the syrup boiled up and poured again to them for three successive days; on the fourth day, proceed as for cherries.

Note.—Barberries may also be preserved in the same way as currants.
