Imitation Raspberry Syrup

Dissolve 50 pounds white sugar in 10 gallons water; then make an infusion of 1/2 pound powdered orris root in 1/2 gallon boiling water, in a covered vessel, stirring occasionally as it cools, and when cold, filter through flannel; stir this infusion into the syrup; then stir in 1/2 pound tartaric acid previously dissolved in 1 quart water. Color the the mixture with to gallon cherry juice, using more or less, as required to produce the desired color. This produces a splendid imitation of raspberry syrup at a comparatively trifling cost.
