READER , THOUGH the cheats of some preceding pieces that treated on this subject ( whose Title-pages , like the contents of a weekly Pamphlet , promised much more than the Books performed ) may have provided this but a cold intertainment at its first coming abroad ; yet I know it will not stay long in the world , before every rationall Reader will cleare it of all alliance to those false pretenders . Ladies , forgive my confidence if I tell you , that I know this piece will prove your favourite ; and if any thing displeases you , it will be to see so many uncommon , and undeflour'd Receipts prostituted to the publique view , which perchance you will think might have been plac'd better among the paper-secrets in a few of your Cabinets ; but 't is easie to pardon that offence , which is onely committed in favour of the Common good . I could say , that the skilfullest professors of either Art need not blush to take out new lessons from hence , but 't is not safe to prepossesse and bespeak expectation . Farewell .

STone and pare the Apricocks as you doe them , put them in faire water on the fire , being scalding hot , and scald them very tender , but let them not boyle ; and while they scald , take their full weight of Sugar and put to it a little water , and set it on the fire till the sugar be throughly melted , and seething hot , but be sure it boyle not ; then put in the fruit , and let them stand on the fire till they be throughly hot in the Syrrup ; then take them off and heat them so morning and evening , and in the heating turn them till you see them candy on the top , which will be in seven or eight dayes ; then take them out of the syrrup and lay them upon glass or stone plates , and set them in the Sun to dry , which will be in a day or two , but you must not heat them that morning you take them out . For black or white Pearplums , you must take much lesse water ▪ and you must seeth the sugar to a candy height . In all things else doe them as the Apricocks , except stoning and paring . To dry Apricocks with half the weight of sugar , which is the best way . STone and pare the Apricocks , having first weighed them , and take halfe their weight in sugar , which must be boyled to a Candy height , which you may know by the dropping of it : when you finde it break , and run up like a small haire , which it will do when it comes to that height ; then put in the Apricocks , and let them boyle a quarter of an houre , and let them lie in the Syrrupe all night ; the next day lay them on a Glasse , or stone Plate , to dry in a stove . To dry Apricocks another way . LEt not the Apricocks be too ripe , and a day after they be gathered stone and pare them , and to a pound of Fruit take a pound of Loafe sugar beat small , and cover them all over with it for two houres , till the Sugar be so moist that it will melt without water ; then set them on a slow fire , that they boyle not in two houres or more , turning them often that they break not ; and when you think they are enough , put them into a deep glasse , and the Syrrup into a silver dish , and let it boyle a little , then poure it on the Apricocks , and let it stand uncovered till the next day , then cover them , and when they have laine a weeke in that Syrrup , take them out and lay them on glasse plates and set them in a stove , or any place where they may have the aire of the fire , and every-day turn them on clean glasses , till they dry . To candy Oranges with Marmalade in them . TAke the fairest and thickrind Oranges , and best coloured , and pare off the out-side very thin and rub them with Salt , and wash it off againe , and dry them , and make a little hole in the bottome , onely to put in your fore finger , and take out the meat and seedes , and skinnes very cleane , and keep the Oranges as whole as you can ; then lay them in water , and shift them thrice in a day ; then boyl them in four severall waters ; all which ( but the first ) must boyle when you put them in ; then lay them between two course cloths to dry up the water ; you may remember to cut stoppers for the holes out of some other Oranges , which must be watered and boyled with them : then take to a pound of Oranges , one pound and a half of the best Loaf sugar , and wet the sugar thin , and let it boyle almost to a candy ; then stir it in the skellet till it coole , and then it will be thicker and thicker ; and before it be too hard , put in the Oranges , and set them upon embers , and it will turne thin againe , and so let them preserve softly in the syrrup , still turning of them till you think they will come dry , and the sugar candy , but not too hard ; when they are hot fill them with the Marmalade , and put the stopples on them . To make Paste of Oranges . TAke the thickest rinde and fairest Oranges of colour , is the best ; then pare off the out-side very thin , and rub them with salt , and wash it clean off againe ; dry them in a cloth and cut them in halves , and wring out the juice , straine it and keep it in a glasse , then scrape out all the meat and lay them in water two dayes , and shift them twice a day ; then boyle them in four severall waters , boyling before you put them in , except the first ; take them out & lay them betwixt course cloaths till they be very dry ; then scrape out the strings and cut out all the black in them , and beat them to a fine Paste in a stone Morter ; then scald some Apple-Johns in the last water you boyle your Oranges in ; then take off the pulpe of the Apples and beat it fine in a stone Morter , and to one pound of Orangepulp you must take a quarter of a pound of Apple-pulp ; then mixe them well together , and put the juice of the Oranges you saved , and the juice of four Lemmons to it ; and take the full weight of all this in double refined sugar ; then set the pulp on the fire in a silver or stone dish ; stirring of it continually ; then wet the sugar thin with water , and put some Musk and Ambergriece tyed in a Tyffeny bagge into it , and let it boyle to a Candy ; then put in the pulp and stir them well together , and let it boyle a little after it is in ; then drop it on sheets of glasse in round cakes , and set them in a warm cupboard to dry , and when one side is dry , take them off and clap two together . To make jelly of John-apples to lay upon Oranges . PAre and cut them in pieces somewhat less than quarters , then pick out the kernels , but leave the coares in them , and as you pare them put them in faire water , lest they be black ; then put to one pound of Apples ; three quarters of a pint of Water , and let it boyle apace till it be halfe consumed ▪ then let it run thorow a jelly-bag ; then take the full weight of them in double refined sugar ; wet the sugar thin with water , and let it boyle almost to a Candy ; then put to it the liquor of Apples , and two or three slices of Orange peel , a little Musk and Ambergriece tied in a piece of tiffany , and let it not boyle too softly for losing the colour ; then warme a little juice of Orange and Lemmon together , and it being halfe boyled , put it into it , but not too much juice , for then it will not jelly ; then set some to jelly in a spoone , and if it jelly , take it up , and have ready in a glasse some preserved Oranges , and poure it on them . To preserve Pearmaines in slices . TAke them about Alhollontide , for then they are best ; pare and cut them round in thinne slices , and cast out the coare of every slice as you pare them , put them into faire wat●r , or they will be black ; then take to a pound of Apples as much fine Loaf sugar , and halfe a pinte of spring water , and set the sugar and water together on the fire , and boyle it to a clear syrrup , and let it be cold before you put in the Apple ; then put to a pound of Apples a little rind of Oranges and Ambergriece , and Musk , in a tiffany ; and when it hath boyled a good while , put in the juice of three Oranges , and two Lemmons warmed ; you may allow at the first putting in of the sugar , three spoonfuls more of sugar for the juice : let them boyle till they be very clear , and the syrrup jelly . To make jelly of Raspesses . WHen you have strained the Raspesses , take to every pinte of juice three quarters of a pound of Loaf sugar , pick out some of the fairest ; and having strowed some of the sugar in the bottom of the skellet , lay them in one by one , and then put the juice upon them , and some sugar , reserving some to put in when they boyle , and so let them boyle apace , putting on the sugar till they be enough ; for Currans , you need not put them on till they be enough . To preserve Pippins in Jelly . TAke the golden Pippin , which is much the best , and take three quarters of their weight in double refined sugar , being beat fine , and as much water as you think will cover them in boyling ; and when the sugar is melted put in the Pippins , being very finely pared and cut in halfes , or quarters , which you like best , a little of the coares being taken out of them . When they have simpered a while , let them boyle as fast as may be on a cleare fire , till they looke very cleare : when you set them first on the fire , you may put in a little Orange-peel cut very thin , and boyled in several waters till it be tender , and then cut into little long slices , which will look handsome , and give the Pippins a good taste ; then take out the Pippins , being boyled enough , and boyle up the Jelly with a quick fire as fast as may be . Being the day before made thus , take any good Pippins and pare them , and cut them in halfes , and put them in a skellet with a little more water than will cover the bottome of the skellet , and let them boyle fast till they looke cleare ; then put them out into a stone dish , and crush them thorow a jellybagg whilst any liquor will run out from them , and let it stand all night in a cleane stone pot ; and when the Pippins are boyled , take the cleare of this liquor , and with the quarter of their weight of the best sugar , and boyle it till jelly ; then lay the Pippins in the glasse , and put as much jelly to them as will even them in the glass , and put the rest as fast as you can into little flat stone dishes very thin , and when it is cold , slide it all over the glass of Pippins , and the next day tye them up . To drie Pippins . TAke the fairest Pippins , about Christmas , and set them one by one in an Oven , a little warmer than when bread is drawn ▪ and let the Oven be heated twice a day , and turne the Pippins once in either heating ; when they begin to be a little tender , flat them , and be carefull you break not the skinnes ; then keepe them flat and turned , till they be drie ; the Pippins must not be spotted , but the clearest can be got . To make Snow . TAke a quart of the best Creame , and a quarter of a pound of blanched Almonds beated very fine , with Rosewater , and st●ained , half a pint of White-wine , a piece of Orange peele , a sliced Nutmeg , 3 sprigs of Rosemary , & let it stand two or three hours , being made sweet with sugar ; then strain them into a bason ; then take out some of it into a ser thing , and beat it till it froath or bubble , and as the froath ariseth take it off gently with a spoon , and lay it in the dish you serve it up in : you must beat it all by a little at a time , till you have as much of the froath and bubbles as will rise a good height ; you may put more Sugar to it , but no Cream but what was in it , for that which falls from the bubbles will be enough . To make jelly of Raspesses . WHen the Raspesses are picked clean , strain them through a haire sieve with a spoon ; if you would have it very clean , you must not straine them too dry , but onely the thinnest juice ; then put in as much Loaf sugar as you think fit , or ( if you will ) weigh the Raspesses ; and when they are strained , weigh the seeds , and take something less than the weight of the juice in sugar , and boyle it till it jelly in a spoon , being cold , ( as stiff as you would have it ; ) if you would have some seedes in it , leave out some Raspesses whole , and boyle in it , or ( if you please ) preserve a few and put in it : when you glasse it , you must not doe any thing that is red in any Pewter or Tinne ; you may do red Currans the same way . To make Raspes ▪ cakes . WHen the Raspes are clean pick'd , weigh them , and take something lesse than their weight in Loaf sugar finely beaten , and put in two or three spoonfuls of sugar in the boyling of them , to keep their colour , and keep them with stirring while they boyle , till you finde they come clean from the bottom of the skellet : in the mean time , let the rest of the sugar be boiling , being only made wetwith water , or very little more ; and when it is almost boyled to sugar again , take it off the fire and put in the Raspesses , and stir them well together , and then set them on a soft fire , and keep it stirring gently halfe a quarter of an hour ; then take it off the fire and stir it , that it may be almost cold ; then put it into the pewter moulds , and set them in a stove very gently , hot , or where they may have a little aire of the fire ; after three or foure dayes take off the rings , and when you finde them dry at the top , turne them upon glasses , which you must lay under them at the first , or a pewter plate , or else they will lose their bright colour ; you must not stir the sugar when it boyles , but onely about the sides , to keep it together , but let it boyle upon a good quick fire : it will be the better colour , if you give them the full weight of sugar . To preserve Raspesses . PIck cleane the fairest Raspes , and take their bare weight in Loaf sugar , which must be finely beaten , and strow a layer of sugar in the bottome of the skellet , or China dish , and then a larger of Raspes , & so three or foure times double , and crush some juyce of other Raspasses all over them , & set them on a soft fire till the Sugar be melted , often shaking them ; then let them have a quick fire , and let them boyle some five walms . Every time they boyle up shaking of them , and in so many boyles they will be enough . To preserve Cherries . TAke the deepest coloured Cherries and largest you can get , and gently pull out the stones and stalks , and lay them in a skellet , or China dish ; lay a layer of Sugar first , and then a laying of Cherries , with the stalky side downeward , and so to the height you intend , having the bare weight of sugar to the cherries , and let them lye till you have peeled some skins off of the smallest Cherries , but well coloured ; if you will have them of a crimson colour , one ounce of skinnes will be as little as you can take to one pound of cherries , not taking any of the juice of the cherries with the skinnes , for that will make them looke tawny ; put a little ▪ sugar to the skinnes to fetch the colour out of them , and set the skinnes on a soft fire , often stirring and crushing them with a spoon ; then pour all that juice on the Cherries and set them on a soft fire , often shaking of them till the sugar be pretty well melted ; then set them on a quick fire and let them boyle up ; then take them off , and the froath settled scum them cleane , and so doe till you think them enough , which you may finde by their clearnesse ; then take them off and scum them very clean , and let them stand all night in a silver or china dish , and the next day , if the syrrup be not very thick , let the fruit be put up into glasses , and boyle the syrrup againe on a quick fire , and when it is cold , put it to the Cherries , and be sure to let the glasses stand open till they be cold . If you would have them pure coloured , do them with the best sort of sugar . To make Quince cakes the true way . TAke the yellow apple Quince and parboil them over a quick fire , and when they are soft , and begin to crack , take them out of the water , and lay them on a dry cloth , letting the water drain wel out of them , and scrape the pulpe of them into a silver dish , & take to one pound of that pulpe one pound of the best loafe Sugar ; then boile them together on a quick fire , and when you think it enough , which you may know by laying a little on a Table , and if it comes clean from the board , without cleaving , it is enough ; then strow some Sugar finely serced upon the board , and put the stuffe on that Sugar , and when it is cold , mould them up into little cakes , and print them ; then set them in a box by the fire , with the lid of the box open , some two dayes , that they may dry . To preserve sweet Lemmons . PAre the Lemons thin , and rub them with salt , and wash it off again ; lay them in water two daies and shift them morning & evening ; then boil , and shift them in four several waters , all which must boil before you put them in , except the first , but let them not boil too long in one water for making them black ; take them out , & lay them between two hot cloathes til the water be soakt out of them ; cut them in halfs , and weigh them , and take to one pound of lemons a pound and half of the finest loaf sugar and to every pound of sugar a pint of water , beat the sugar very fine , and set it on the fire with the water , and when it is cleane scummed and boil'd a little while ; then take it off and let it cool ; then tie up the Lemmons in Cobweb-lawne , every halfe by it selfe , and put them into the syrrup , and let them boyle or simper very softly an houre or less ; then put them into a silver bason , and so let them stand a week before you boyl them up , then boyl them with a little Ambergriece and Musk tyed in a piece of Cobweb-lawn , the least that may be will make them taste very strong , and some halfe an houre before you take them up , put in the juice of foure or sixe Lemmons made warm , and so let them boyle till they be enough ; then take off the tiffeny , and put them up when they are cold . The best way to preserve Oranges , or such like , IS never to boyle them in Sirrup , but when they are boyled in water , and not too soft , and to make a Syrrup first ; and as soone as it comes off the fire , put in the citron , and let it lye three or foure dayes , turning it every day : then poure the sirrup from them , and boyle it againe , till it be of a pretty thicknes ; then put in the citron when it comes off the fire boyling hot , and let it lye therein six or seven dayes , and then boyle the sirrop as before , and at the last boyling you may Amber it if you please : if you give them Sugar enough , three times will serve to make them keep ; if they doe not , you may boyle the sirrup at any time again . But if they have stood long before you boyle the syrrup againe , you must let it coole before you put it to the Citrons againe , lest they blister . This way is very good ; if the sugar be fine , they will eat daintily and firme . To make jelly of Oranges . SHave the Oranges thin , and quarter theme , and water them three dayes , shifting them twice a day ; then boyle them very tender in severall waters till the bitternesse be gone ; then dry them with a cloath and cut them in thin slices athwart the quarters , then take their weight of the best sugar , fill a pinte of liquor made of Apple-Johns , and Spring water , as strong of the apples as you can make it , then mix the sliced Oranges and the liquor together , then take the sugar , being finely beaten , & wet it with a little water , and when it hath boyl'd a little , & is scumm'd , put the orange and apple-liquor into that syrrup , and boyl it till it be ready to jelly ; put in 4 spoonfuls of the juice of orenge and lemmon together , boyle it a little after , and , if you please , tie a little Amber and Musk in a tiffany and put in it , as long as you think fit . To candy Oranges . GRate off the upper rinde of the Oranges , then pare the rinde off very thin , and have water by you to put them in as you pare them ; then sew them up in a fine cloath , and when the water boils put them in , and shift them into three waters , but they must not boil too long in one water , lest they look black , & let the pan be made cleane every time : when they are boyled take them out of the Cloaths and lay them one by one on a dry cloath , and cover them with another ; then make a cleare syrrup , as much as you thinke will boyle so many peeles ; let them boyle softly , lest the syrrup grow too thick before they be enough ; and when they are cleare , and the syrrup hangs about them , take them off the fire and put the syrrup and them into a glass , or silver dish , and let them stand on a dry place ( not too hot ) till you see them begin to candy ; then take them out and lay them on plates or trenchers , and let them dry of themselves without any fire , till they be almost dry ; then you may put them in a little heat lest they grow black . How to make Christall jelly . TAke a Knuckle of Veal , and two Calves feet , and boile them in cleare water , but boile not the meat to pieces , for then the jelly will look thick : then take a quart of the clearest of it , and put it into a skellet or pot , with a little sliced Ginger , whole white Pepper , a Nutmeg quartered , a grain of Musk ; put all these Spices in a bag , boile them in the jelly , then season it with foure ounces of white Sugar-candy , and three spoonfull of Rose-water ; run it through a Cotten Jelly-bag , and if you will have it look of an Amber colour , bruise your Spices , and let them boile loose in the jelly . To make white Leach of Cream . TAke a pint of sweet Cream , sixe spoonfuls of Rosewater , two granes of Muske , two drops of oyle of Mace , or a blade or two of large Mace , boyle it with foure ounces of Icing-glass , being steeped and washed clean ; then run it thorow your jelly-bag into a dish ; when it is cold slice it in chequar-work , and serve it up on a plate , or glasses . This is the best way to make Leach . FINIS .
