We can have strawberries, raspberries, red, white, and black currants, and cherries, as well as peaches, nectarines, and apricots.

We can also have stewed apples and stewed pears.

Very much, of course, will depend upon the time of year.
Those fruits that want stewing should be placed in some hot syrup previously made, and only allowed to stew till tender enough to be eaten.
Tinned fruits, especially apricots, can be mixed with fresh fruits, only it is best not to use the syrup in the tin, as it will probably overpower the flavour of the other fruits.

The syrup, as far as possible, should be bright and not cloudy.

The fruit in the bowl should be mixed, but should not be stirred up.
