Fruit Jars Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

any · contemplative · 1:05 min

Turn fruit jars upside down to prevent fruit becoming mouldy. Put a teaspoonful of pulverized borax into a pan of cold water, put the jars in the pan and set on the fire till the water is at boiling point. Remove the jars, place on a cloth wrung from hot water, and fill immediately with fruit. Put on one rubber and screw on the cover. Let stand till just cool enough to handle, and to harden the paraffin. Pour the paraffin all over the rubber where it touches the jar and where it hits the cover. When opening jars, save the paraffin and use again. When a fruit jar cover refuses to come off, run a knife around the jar under the rubber band, and the cover will loosen immediately.
