To Preserve Angelico in Knots
Take young and thick Stalks of Angelico, cut them into Lengths of about a Quarter of a Yard, then scald them; next put them into cold Water, then strip off the Skins, and cut them into narrow Slips; then lay them on your preserving Pan, then put to them a thin Sugar, that is, to one Part Sugar as clarified, and one Part Water; then set it over the Fire and let it boil, and set it by till next Day, then turn it in the Pan, and give it another Boil; the Day after drain it and boil the Sugar till it is a little smooth, then pour it on your Angelico, and if it be a good Green boil it no more, if not, heat it again; the Day following boil the Sugar till it is very smooth, and pour it upon your Angelico; the next Day boil your Syrup till it rises to the Top of your Pan, then put your Angelico into your Pan, and pour your Syrup upon it, and keep it for Use.
