To Make Goosberry-Paste
Take the Goosberries when full grown, wash them, and put them into your preserving Pan, with as much Spring-water as will almost cover them, and boil them very quick all to a Pommish; then strew them on a Hair-sieve over an earthen Pot or Pan, and press out all the Juice; then to every Pound of this Paste, take one Pound and two Ounces of Sugar, and boil it till it cracks; then take it from the Fire and put in your Paste, and mix it well over a slow Fire till the Sugar is very well incorporated with the Paste; then scum it and fill your Paste-Pots, then scum them again, and when cold, put them into the Stove, and when crusted on the Top, turn them, and set them in the Stove again, and when a little dry, cut them in long Pieces, and set them to dry quite; and when so crusted that they will bear touching, turn them on Sieves and dry the other Side, then put them into your Box.
Note, You may make them red or green, by putting the Colour when the Sugar and Paste is all mixed, giving it a Warm altogether.
