105. _To Preserve Goosberrys._

Gather the fairest round goosberrys when they are at their full bigness

& before they begin to be soft when they are new gather’d cut off the

black tops and stone them strewing fine Sugar upon them as you Stone

them then to 3 quarters of a pound of stoned goosberrys take a pound

of double refined Sugar finely beaten and lay half of it in the bottom

of your pan then lay in your goosberrys one by one all over upon the

Sugar, then put in y^e rest of your Sugar but keep a Spoonfull or more

of it to Strew upon it in the boyleing then Stamp a few goosberrys the

black being taken off and Strain the juice out of them and of that

juice put in 12 Spoonfulls to this proportion drop it out of the Spoon

all over the Sugar and goosberrys then set them on a very quick fire to

boyle as fast as you can to boyle up to the top of the pan then take

them off and shake the pan and strew on some of the Sugar and presently

set it on the fire again to boyle up then take it off and shake it and

set it on again to boyle fast and when you see the goosberrys look

very clear take them off and when they are a little cold put them up

in glasses take them up with Sirrop for if you take them without the

Sirrop they will not be plump then put them up but let them not be

covered till they are cold you must try to see whether the Sirrop will

jelly before you put them up.
