take a pound of fine beaten Sugar, and one spoonfull of Rosewater: you must put your Damsons in a faire great pan one by one, and not above a pound at once; then set them upon a Chafingdish and Coales, but let not your fire be too hot at first: then set on your Plummes, and cast in as much Sugar as the Rosewater will melt, before you set them on the fire; and when you feele your pan warme, cast on halfe your Sugar, and let the pan be no hotter than you can suffer your hand on it; for the space of a quarter of an houre, you must not turn them untill there be as much Sirrup as will beare them up; then turne them, and cast on the rest of your Sugar, but you must not let them seethe when you doe turne them, because then they will breake on both sides; but let them lie in hot Sirrup a while: then turne the broken sides downewards againe, and let them seethe softly a little while, then may you turne them as often as you please; and let them seeth reasonable fast, till you think they be enough; if you let them seethe long, they will lose their colour, and will be tough; you must skinne them very cleane, and when they be cold, put them up in Glasses; and put in foure, or five Cloves, and as many little slices of Cinamon of about an inch long: thus you may preserve any Plummes, but you must put nei∣ther Cloves, nor Cinamon to your white Plummes.
