Tutti Frutti New England Butt'ry Shelf Style

"The Butt'ry (properly spelled buttery

of course) is a small room with a smell of good

things to eat and a look of delicious plenty.

It is located  next to the kitchen in a cool

corner of  the house."...

           Mary Mason Campbell

                The New England Butt'ry shelf Cook Book

                (Illustrated by Tasha Tudor)

"Here too is kept the crock of

tutti frutti, which is as part of

 the Butt'ry equipment as anything

else you can see there.

It holds two gallons of rich fruit

sauce for ladling generously onto

a plate of vanilla ice cream or

 a slice of sponge cake, and

I've known many a time when

a finger was surreptitiously

dipped and popped into an

appreciative mouth for

elegant tasting."

  Mary Mason Campbell

 "The jar is always empty by the

time the first fresh strawberries

are brought in from the garden,

washed clean then, and a pint of

the very best brandy poured in.

Two cups of firm red-ripe

strawberries are sliced in half

and added to the brandy, then

two cups of sugar on top." 

  Mary Mason Campbell

"This is stirred gently every day

with a long handled wooden spoon

until the sugar is dissolved."

19 And the land shall yield her fruit,

and ye shall eat your fill,

and dwell therein in safety.

sliced, and cut into small wedges."

" Peaches cut in generous cubes

after skins have been removed"

"This is stirred carefully

after each addition until

sugar has melted in.

Several thicknesses of cheesecloth

laid across the mouth of the jar,

with the lid on top, keep out

fruit flies "

  Mary Mason Campbell

" This is kept at least a month

before tasting, to "marry" the

fruit  flavors"

Tutti Frutti

A stone jar (with a cover)

Awaits the libation 

of arrrac, poured over

One bottle its ration.

Of fruit in its season,

Pineapple raspberry,

The peach with its bloom on,

A well as cherry,

And strawberries Rosy,

One pound you will take,

And in kitchen so cosy

This rich compound make.

But of sugar three quarters

In weight will will be best

And one of your daughters

will stir this with zest.

For a day or two after

Each fruit is immersed,

With cheer and with laughter,

This may be rehearsed,

Eat this fruit by itself,

Better still with ice cream,

In a dish of old delf,

'T is a poem- a dream
