To preserve the Pippin, Pear, or Warden dry, as fol∣loweth.

FIrst take the clearest Pippins you can get, pare them and coar them very clean, either in halves or whole, then take so much fair water as will suffice to make them, and set it on the fire, untill they be ready to boyl, so done, put in your fruit, and let it boil a little space, then take them off from the fire, and let them stand close covered till they be very soft, then when you feel them soft, take them out of the hot liquor and put them in cold, and then let them lye for half an hour, then take them out, and let them lye two or three hours upon a searce to dry, so done, take for the weight of your fruit so much Sugar or more, and with a quantity of Rosewater dissolve your Sugar to one pound, half a pint of Rosewater, with a lit∣tle fair water, and with the White of an Egg clarifie your Su∣gar and strain it, so done, set it over the fire again, and let it boil until it be come to a perfect height, which is, when it wil a little cleave between your fingers & thumb, then presently put in your fruit, and let it boyl a little space, then take it off and let it stand half a quarter of an hour, then set it on the fire a∣gain, and let them boyl till such time as you find your syrrup so thick that it will roap betwixt your fingers, then take them from the fire, and let them stand as long as before, then take them sorth, and lay them one by one upon a searce to drip the space of two hours, setting a thing under it to receive the syr∣rup, so lay them on boards to dry.
