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

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
