Stewed Figs Recipe

Dissolve four ounces of powdered sugar, (cost three

cents,) in one pint of cold water, and flavor with a few drops of any

essence preferred; put into it a pound of nice figs, (cost ten cents,)

heat slowly, and stew gently for about two hours, or until the figs are

tender. Eat hot with a dish of boiled rice, or serve cold. The cost will

be less than fifteen cents.
