PANCr ARTICLES. 



The Committee on Fancy Articles have the 

 pleasure to report that the present e.xhibition ex- 

 ceeds any thing heretofore produced in their de- 

 partment. It may be well enough fancied that 

 they are not altogether so suitable judges of such 

 delicate fabrications, as others who might have 

 been appointed, and to such an opinion they at 

 once agree. They however have endeavored to 

 do justice in this so interesting an undertaking, 

 and hope the ladies will in no wise charge them 

 of being partial. 



The following premiums the Committee have 

 awarded for acceptance.

[Fur the New Englai.il Fanner.] 



Mr Fessenden, — 



Sir : — The barberry is a fruit that has been con- 

 sidered of but little value, and has been much 

 neglected in consequence of a want of knowledge 

 of the proper method of preservation. Barberries 

 are generally preserved by putting them whole into 

 prepared syrup and simmering them over the 

 fire for a certain length of time. By this method 

 the tough skins and bitter astringent seeds are 

 retained which renders the preparation both inel- 

 egant and uncomfortable to eat. Although it is 

 extremely grateful to the sick, especially when 

 recovering from fever, it is likewise very accepta- 

 ble to the well, as a substitute for currant jell)-, 

 with meats, when prepared agreeably to the re- 

 cijte which I have enclosed you for publication. 



Fort Trumbull, Oct. 1835. . J. E. 



Recipe for making barberry jelly Pick j 



the barberries from the stems — wash them in] 

 cold v/ater, and drain through a colander — put \ 

 them into a stone jar, which cover tight to retain ' 

 the steam — place the jar in a large kettle filled 

 with water to about two-thirds the he'ght of the 

 jar — '■ hang the kettle over the fire, and boil the 

 water till the berries become soft and can be easi- 

 ly broken — turn theiTi out into a large dish and 

 mash them, then put them into a strong cloth and 

 squerze till all the juice and pulp passes through. 

 To every pound of juice allow a pound of sugar 

 — more can be added, if thought necessary. If 

 loaf sugar be used no water is necessary, but if 

 the sugar requires to be clarified, make use of as 

 little water as possible. The process is exactly 

 the same as in making currant jelly, with the ex- 

 ception that the barberry requires longer boiling 

 in the syrup. It will be perceived that no water 

 is put to the barberries, but that they are rendered 

 soft by steam. 



Tea trade. — By an official statement piddish- 

 ed by the British Chamber of Commerce at Can- 

 ton, it appears that the quantity of tea exported 

 from that city to Great Britain, between April 23, 

 1834 and JIarch 31, 1835, amounted to 43,641,200 

 lbs. ; of whicli 36,382,000 lbs. were black, and 

 7,259,200 lbs. were green. The quantity sent to 

 London was 31.903,468 lbs. ; to Liverpool 5,051,- 

 867 lbs. ; to Bristol 1,295,066 lbs. ; to Ireland gen- 

 erally 2,197,067 lbs. ; and to Scotland 1,462,533 

 lbs. The vvho!e was exported in 67 ships, being 

 on an average about 651,361 lbs. to each. 



Industry and perseverance, with a strict regard 

 to truth and justice, will accomplish almost every 

 thins.
