No. 3812 — Dried Raspberries
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3812 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Sort raspberries, place on a baking sheet and dry in gentle residual oven heat, repeating if needed.
The author describes dried raspberries as a traditional remedy intended to induce perspiration during colds.
They may also be used for winter jam, fruit cakes in recipe No. 3372 or the Smolensk confection otluchentsy in recipe No. 3824.
Historical editorial note: The historical medicinal claim is not evidence of effectiveness against colds.
