_Of Medlers._


_To Preserve Medlers._

Take the fairest _Medlers_ you can get, but let them not be too
ripe, then set on faire water on the fire, and when it boyleth put
in your _Medlers_, and let them boyle till they be somewhat soft,
then while they are hot pill them, cut off their crowns, and take
out their stones, then take to every pound of _Medlers_, three quarters
of a pound of _sugar_, and a quarter of a pint of _Rose water_, seeth
your Syrupe, scumming it clean, then put in your _Medlers_ one by
one, the stalks downward, when your Syrupe is somewhat coole
then set them on the fire againe, let them boyle softly till the Syrupe
be enough, then put in a few _Cloves_ and a little _Cinamon_, and
so putting them up in pots reserve them for your use.

a chafin dish with coales, and beat in two yolks of Eggs, boyling
