Potions and Brews
------------------------
SYRUP
FOR LOVE
1 cup apricot juice
1 cup dried apricots, pulped
1 cup mashed strawberries
1 cup mashed raspberries
4 cups water
4 cups sugar
Mash your fruits thoroughly, then boil them slowly with equal parts of fruit and
water. Strain
out the fruit solids, then add sugar equal to the amount of liquid; bring
mixture to a boil and
cook until a thick consistency is reached. Cool and store in air-tight
containers.
(This is good as a filling for tarts, as a poultry glaze, or as a cake or pie
topping. Otherwise,
use your imagination!)
