Quince-Pye: Take pre∣served Quinces, separated from the paring and the Core; then make a Syrup of Spring-water, with fine Sugar boiled up in it, and take as much as the Quinces weigh; to every pound add a pint of the Sy∣rup, make the Syrup in a Pre∣serving-pan, and being scum∣med and boiled, put the Quin∣ces into it; boil them till they be well coloured, and then put them into the Pies in halves, or quarters; make them in fashion round, either in Pies, Tarts, or Patty-pans, with a cut cover; but before you bake them, put in more fine Sugar, and leave the Sy∣rup to put in after; and then Ice it. Thus you may do by Wardens, Pippins, hard Pears, or green Codlings.
