Lay an Ounce of Gumboodge in Water 'till it is all melted, Half a Quarter of a Pint of Water is sufficient; then take an Ounce and Half of Stone-Blue dissolv'd in a little Water, put it to the Gumboodge when melted; put to it a Quarter of a Pound of fine Sugar, and a Quarter of a Pint of Water more, and let it boil: Put a Spoonful of this to a Pint of any white Clear-Cakes, it will make them a very good Green. _To sugar all Sorts of small FRUIT._ Beat the White of an Egg, and dip the Fruit in it; let it lye on a Cloth that it may not wet; then take fine sifted Sugar, and rowl the Fruit in it 'till 'tis quite cover'd with Sugar; lay it on a Sieve in a Stove, or before a Fire, to dry it well; it will keep well a Week. _To scald all Sorts of FRUIT._ Put the Fruit into scalding Water, (as much as will almost cover the Fruit) set it over a slow Fire, keep them in a Scald 'till they are tender, turning the Fruit where the Water does not cover it; when 'tis very tender, lay a Paper close to it, and let it stand 'till it is cold: Then to a Pound of Fruit put Half a Pound of Sugar, and let it boil (but not too fast) 'till it looks clear: All Fruit must be done whole but Pippins, and they are best halv'd or quarter'd, and a little Orange-Peel boil'd and put in them, with the Juice of a Lemmon. _FINIS._ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Errata (Noted by Transcriber): To make Honycomb-Cakes of Orange-Flower-Violet of Cowslips _The Table of Contents and the body text have identical wording and punctuation.
