Yield: 1 Servings

		Tomatoes
		Sugar

Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, then remove the skins. Let them stand in a stone jar for 2 days, with an equal weight of sugar, then pour off the syrup, boil it, and skim till no scum rises. Return it to the tomatoes, and let them stand 2 days as before. Boil and skim again. After the third time they are fit to dry if the weather is good. If not, leave them in the syrup until the weather is dry.

Dry them in the sun on earthenware plates. It will take about a week. Then pack them in wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between the layers. Prepared in this way, tomatoes should keep for years.
