Take your plummes when full ripe and put them in a porringer and set

them over the fire and stir them continually with a Spoon and when they

begins to brake and be soft take them out and pick off all their skins

stalks and stones very clean when you have done so sett them on the

fire again still stirring till such time all the moisture be almost

dryed up and the plum stuff be pretty stiff then take it off the fire

so let it stand till it cold then take double refined Sugar and put to

the plumme stuff and take as much Sugar as will make it paste and rowle

it and worke it together and let it be as thick as paste then rowle it

in works as you do gimbols in what faishon you please you need not oven
