Take the fairest and best colour’d barberries & take out (with a
needle put into a stick) the stones then put your barberries into a
silver bason w^{th} as much clariefied Sugar as will cover them and
so let them boyle in a seething pot of water leasurely till you see
your barberryes tender and the sirrop well coloured then take up your
barberryes and put into your sirrop half a pound of Sugar finely beaten
and so let your sirrop boyle till it be thick to a jelly and when it
is cold put in your barberryes & they will seem quaking and so you may
keep them all the year.
