--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Fresh black berries --
                        - well washed
                        Sugar

Mash the berries with a potato masher. Measure the pulp and add one
pint of sugar to each pint of pulp. Bring the mixture to a full
bubble and cook 30 minutes. Be sure to skim the mixture while it is
in the pot, so that the paraffin will seal properly. The best skimmer
is a wooden spoon. Ladle the preserves into sterilized jars. Melt
paraffin carefully, removing all bubbles with a sterilized spoon.
Pour it until it is about 1/4" thick on top of each jar of preserves.
Let it stand and harden.
