No. 3331 — Raspberry Syrup, Third Method
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3331 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
For 1 pound raspberries take 1 pound sugar. Make a thick syrup with ½ glass water for each pound sugar.
Add sorted raspberries and boil several times over high heat until the syrup thickens. Strain through a linen bag. Bottle in dry bottles the next day.
Rub the remaining raspberry pulp through a sieve and reduce thoroughly with additional sugar, stirring constantly against scorching. Use with pancakes or between cake layers.
