Erken calls the juice rich in vitamin C and good for children, and warns against "cart cloudberries" (adulterated cloudberries). The juice must not be boiled.
Crush and steep
Crush the cloudberries and add the water with the tartaric acid. Stir well in the crock and leave it in a cellar for 2-3 days. Stir several times a day.
Strain and measure
Strain the juice and measure it.
Add and stir
Per litre of juice add 1 g sodium benzoate dissolved in a little water and 300 g sugar. Stir without stopping for 1 hour.
Bottle
Fill clean bottles with ordinary corks or patent stoppers and store in a good cellar.
Note
Sodium benzoate is a food additive (E211) with regulated use. Juice with benzoate should not be boiled in soups or porridge; add it after the food is off the heat.
The recipe appears twice (pp. 726 and 727) and has been merged. Sodium benzoate is the modern name. Food safety advice is added.
