Blackberry Pudding pg3
For the Cordial. —Take the very ripest blackberries, mash them in a suitable tub or pail, pressing out the juice through a stout piece of muslin: and to each quart put 1 lb. of best loaf or lump sugar, also in a porcelain kettle, pouring on
the juice, and as soon as softened place on the stove and boil to a thin jelly only; and when cold add brandy, 1/2 pt. to each pound of sugar used. If this is to be given to very young children, the jelly may be used in place of the jam, in equal parts, thus avoiding the seeds. For a child of 2 to 5 years, put 2 or 3 table-spoonfuls of each into a glass with a tea-spoonful of essence or extract of cinnamon, mixing thoroughly, and giving a tea to a table-spoonful of it as often as they like, or every half hour until relieved.
Remarks.. —This shows the great value and variety of ways in which the blackberry may be used. (See also the Blackberry Cordial in the Medical Department. )
