How To Cold Pack Huckleberries Old Recipe

How To Cold Pack Huckleberries
Old Recipe

You need:
washed Huckleberries
2 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water

Make a syrup of the sugar and water
Pack clean berries in jars and add syrup.
Place your jars in water until it boils.
Remove from heat and seal.


*there were no other instructions or jar yields listed.
I have found in most of the old recipes or receipts as they were called, unfortunately some of the best cooks did not find it necessary to list every step they took when canning, baking or cooking.
