9 gallons pear snitz (or 4 1/2 gallons sauce)
20 lb. sugar (I used a little less)
1 qt. vinegar
1/2 gallon white Karo
25 cents worth oil of cinnamon

(I'm guessing it would be more than 25 cents by now; this you have to buy at a drug store.)

Add some water if you use just pear snitz.

Cook this outdoors in a copper kettle. Have your neighbors and friends to help you. Cook slowly and test a spoonful on a saucer. When it looks glassy and stays together, it is ready to take off (several hours). Keep stirring. Makes between 20 and 30 quarts.
