Compote Of Damsons
==================

Ingredients
-----------
1 quart of damsons, 1 pint of syrup No. 1512.

Method
------
Procure sound ripe damsons; pick the stalks from them, and put them into boiling syrup, made by recipe No. 1512. Simmer them gently until the fruit is tender, but not sufficiently soft to break; take them up, boil the syrup for 5 minutes; pour it over the damsons, and serve. This should be sent to table in a glass dish.
