Take a Pumpion, pare it, and cut it in thin slices, dip it in beaten
Eggs and Herbs shred small, and fry it till it be enough, then lay it
into a Pie with Butter, Raisins, Currans, Sugar and Sack, and in the
bottom some sharp Apples; when it is baked, butter it and serve it in.
132. _To make an Artichoke Pudding._
Boil a quart of Cream with whole Spice, then put in half a pound of
sweet Almonds blanched, and beaten with Rosewater; when they have boiled
well, take it from the fire, and take out the Spice, when it is almost
cold, put in the yolks of ten Eggs, some Marrow and some bottoms of
Artichokes, then sweeten it with Sugar and put in a little Salt, then
butter a Dish, and bake it in it, serve it to the Table stuck full of
blanched Almonds, and fine Sugar strewed over it.
133. _To pickle Sprats like Anchovies._
Take a Peck of the biggest Sprats without their heads, and salt them a
little over night, then take a Pot or Barrel, and lay in it a Lay of Bay
salt, and then a lay of Sprats, and a few Bay leaves, then salt again;
thus do till you have filled the Vessel, put in a little Limon Pill also
among your Bay leaves, then cover the Vessel and pitch it, that no Air
get in, set it in a cool Cellar, and once in a week turn it upside down;
in three Months you may eat of them.
134. _To keep Artichokes all the Year._
Gather your Artichokes with long stalks, and then cut off the stalks
close to them, then boil some water, with good Pears and Apples sliced
thin, and the Pith of the great stalks, and a Quince or two quartered to
give it a relish; when these have boiled a while, put in your
Artichokes, and boil all together till they be tender, then take them up
and set them to cool, then boil your Liquor well and strain it, when
your Artichokes be cold, put them into your Barrel, and when the Liquor
is cold, pour it over them, so cover it close that no Air get in.
135. _To make Pasty of a Joll of Ling._
Make your Crust with fine Flower, Butter, cold Cream, and two yolks of
Eggs:
Roul it thin and lay it in your Bake-pan, then take part of a Joll of
Ling well boiled, and pull it all in Bits, then lay some Butter into
your Pasty and then the Ling, then some grated Nutmeg, sliced Ginger,
Cloves and Mace, Oysters, Muscles, Cockles, and Shrimps, the yolks of
raw Eggs, a few Comfits perfumed, Candied Orange Pill, Citron Pill, and
Limon Pill, with Eringo Roots:
Then put in white Wine, and good store of Butter, and put on a thick
lid, when it is baked, open it, and let out the steam.
136. _To make French Servels._
Take cold Gammon of Bacon, fat and lean together, cut it small as for
Sausages, season it with Pepper, Cloves and Mace, and a little Shelots,
knead it into a Paste with the yolks of Eggs, and fill some Bullocks
Guts with it, and boil them; but if you would have them to keep, then do
not put in Eggs.
When you have filled the Guts, boil them, and hang them up, and when you
would eat them, serve them in thin slices with a Sallad.
