Pare a good quantity of the rindes of _Cucumbers_, and boyle
them in a quart of running water, and a pint of wine _Vineger_, with a handfull of _salt_, till they be soft, then letting them stand till the liquor be quite cold, pour out the liquor from the rinds, into some little barrel, earthen pot, or other vessel, that may be close stopped, and put as many of the youngest _Cucumbers_ you can gather, therein, as the liquor will cover, and so keep them close covered, that no winde come to them, to use all the year till they have new; if your _Cucumbers_ be great, 'tis best to boyle them in the liquor till they be soft. * * * * * *OF COOKERY.* _To make Snow._ Take a quart of thick _Creame_, and five or six whites of _Eggs_, a sauser full of _sugar_ finely beaten, and as much _Rose water_, beat them all together, and always as it riseth take it out with a spoon, then take a loaf of _Bread_, cut away the crust, set it in a platter, and a great _Rosemary_ bush in the middest of it, then lay your Snow with a Spoon upon the _Rosemary_, and so serve it. _To make Spiced Bread._ |
