PEACHES DRIED WITH SUGAR.
Peel yellow peaches, cut them from the stone in one piece; allow two pounds of
sugar to six pounds of fruit; make a syrup of three-quarters of a pound of
sugar, and a little water; put in the peaches, a few at a time, and let them
cook gently until quite clear. Take them up carefully on a dish and set them in
the sun to dry. Strew powdered sugar over them on all sides, a little at a time;
if any syrup is left, remove to fresh dishes. When they are quite dry, lay them
lightly in a jar with a little sugar sifted between the layers.
