No. 3760 — Sugar-Coated Cherries
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3760 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Mix 1 egg white with 1 cup finely sifted sugar, working with a wooden spoon.
Add a full dessertspoon lemon juice and beat until the coating is thick enough to hold its shape. Roll cherries in the glaze.
Place on a dish brushed with wax, dry and pack into jars. The author warns that they must not be kept long.
Historical editorial note: The uncooked egg white is a historical ingredient; modern preparations require safe egg handling.
