To Put Plumbs in Jelly
Any of these Sorts of Plumbs are very agreeable in Jelly, and the same Method will do for all as for one: I might make some Difference which would only help to confound the Practitioner, and thereby swell this Treatise in many Places; but, as I have promised, so I will endeavour to lay down the easiest Method I can to avoid Prolixity, and proceed as above, viz.
[Plumbs in Jelly.] When your Plumbs are preserved in their first Sugar, and you have drained them in order to put them in a second, they are then fit to be put up Liquid, which you must do thus: Drain the Plumbs, and strain the Syrup through a Bag; then make a Jelly of some ripe Plumbs and Codlins together, by boiling them in just as much Water as will cover them, press out the Juice and strain it, and to every Pint of Juice boil one Pound of Sugar to blow very strong, put in the Juice and boil it a little; then put in the Syrup and the Plumbs, and give all a good Boil; then let them settle a little, scum them and fill your Glasses or Pots.
