Take half white and half red Plums, as you did for the Clear-Cakes; boil them with as much Water as will cover them; then, to a Quart of Plums put a Pint of Apple-Jelly; let them boil well together; rub it thro' an Hair Sieve; to a Pint of Jelly put in a Pound and half of Sugar; boil the Jelly, and shake in the Sugar; let it scald 'till the Sugar is melted, skin it well, and fill in Pots; dry it as other Cakes: You may put some of this in Plates, and make Fruit-Jambals. _To dry PLUMS like the FRENCH PLUMS, with Stones in them._ When you have laid out all your Plums that are to be stopt, put white Pear-Plums, or any large black Plums, in an Earthen Pot, and make your Plum-Syrup almost scalding hot; put it to the Plums, and scald the Syrup every Day, 'till the Plums are tender and red; then lay them on Sieves, and dry them in an Oven, turning them every Day 'till they are dry; then lay them between Papers, and keep them in a dry Place. _To dry PEACHES._ Stone the largest white _Newington_ Peaches, and pare them, and have ready a Pan over the Fire with boiling Water; put in the Peaches, and let them boil 'till they are tender; then lay them on a Sieve to drain out all the Water; weigh them, and lay them in the Pan you boil them in, and cover them with their Weight in Sugar; let them lye two or three Hours; then boil them 'till they are clear, and the Syrup pretty thick; set them by cover'd, with a Paper close to them; the next Day scald them very well, setting them off the Fire and on again, 'till the Peaches are thorough hot; repeat this for three Days; then lay them on Plates to dry, and turn them every Day 'till dry. _To make PEACH-CHIPS._ Pare the Peaches, and cut them in thin Chips; to four Pound of Chips put three Pound and a Half of fine beaten Sugar; let the Sugar and Chips lye a little while, 'till the Sugar is well melted, then boil them fast 'till they are clear; about half an Hour will do them enough; set them by 'till the next Day, then scald them very well two Days, and lay them on earthen Plates in a Stove; sift on them fine Sugar, through a Lawn Sieve; turn them every Day, sifting them 'till almost dry; then lay them on a Sieve a Day or two more in the Stove: Lay them in a Box close together, and when they have lain so a Week, pick them asunder, that they may not be in Lumps. _To preserve or dry NUTMEG-PEACHES._
