To preserve Cherries.

1 GAther your Cherries in the morning, and let them not be too ripe, cut off the tops of the Stalkes, and lay the Cherries in a pan upon a thin bed of Sugar; to every pound of Cherries take a pound of Sugar, and beate it very fine, and ever as the Cherries boile up, cast Sugar on them, and scumme them not untill the scumme be ready to seethe over; let them boile with a quick fire, for so they will be the fairer: you need not feare the breaking of them, for as they coole they will close againe; and seethe not above two pound at once, the fewer the better, and boile them rather too little then too much; being sodden, put them into a faire dish, and let them stand till the next day, and if there come any Water from them, then seethe them a little more; you must use a silver spoone about them which must be scoured very cleane, for if you use either Ladle, or knife that hath been used about flesh, it will cause Mites to breed in your Cherries.
