To Preserve White-Citrons
Cut your White-Citrons into what sized Pieces you please; put them into Water and Salt for four or five Hours; then wash them in fair Water, and boil them till tender; then drain them, and put them into as much clarified Sugar as will cover them, and set them by till next Day; then drain the Syrup, and boil it a little smooth; when cool, put it on your Citrons; the next Day boil your Syrup quite smooth, and pour on your Citrons; the Day after boil all together and put into a Pot to be candied, or put in Jelly, or compose as you please.
Note, You must look over these Fruits so kept in Syrup; and if you perceive any Froth on them you must give them a Boil; and if by Chance they should become very frothy and sour, you must first boil the Syrup, and then all together.
