Compote Of Prunes
Wash the fruit in warm water, put it on to boil in cold water in which
lump sugar has been dissolved. To a pound of prunes put half-a-pound of
sugar, a pint of water, with the thin rind and juice of a lemon. Let
them simmer for an hour, or until so tender that they will mash when
pressed. Strain the fruit and set it aside. Boil the syrup until it
becomes very thick and is on the point of returning to sugar, then pour
it over the prunes, turn them about so that they become thoroughly
coated, taking care not to break them, let them lie for twelve hours,
then pile up on a glass dish for dessert.
