To Dry Currants in Bunches
Stone your Currants and tie them up in little Bunches, and to every Pound of Currants you must boil two Pounds of Sugar, till it blows very strong, then slip in the Currants, and let them boil very fast, till the Sugar flies all over them; let them settle a Quarter of an Hour, then boil them again till the Sugar rises almost to the Top of the Pan, then let them settle, scum them, and set them by till next Day; then you must drain them, and lay them out, taking Care to spread the Sprigs that they may not dry clogged together: then dust them very much, and dry them in a hot Stove.
