Tomato Syrup
April 22nd, 2020
Express the juice of ripe tomatoes, and put a pound of sugar to each quart of the juice, put it in bottles, and set it aside. In a few weeks it will have the appearance and flavor of pure wine of the best kind, and mixed with water is a delightful beverage for the sick. No alcohol is needed to preserve it.
The medical properties of the tomato are in high repute, and it is supposed that this syrup retains all that is contained in the fruit.
