They are cooked until they are very tender or until they form a pulp, and are then run through a fine sieve or culander, the labor of peeling is eliminated, better — color is obtained from the fruits and a finer grain of the product is obtained. This strained fruit should be cooked until it is quite thick. When finished, their consistency should be such that they are soft, spread easily, and when a spoon is lifted up from the boiling mass it will come up heaping full, or when a spoonful is placed on a dish, no liquid separates from the solid por- — tion.
