The juice is now diluted, if neces-sary, mixed with sugar, and transferred to a kettle, in which it isheated to the boiling point, and then strained while hot. Raspberry syrup is made by the same process; the juice is richerin pectin and more liable to glutinize than the foregoing, so that itbears a larger dilution; it improves the flavor of this syrup to use asmall proportion of pie-cherries, or currants—say a pound to fourquarts of the raspberries. Blackberry syrup does not differ from the foregoing in its modeof preparation, except in the usual addition of a small proportionof French brand
