To Preserve Bell-Grapes in Jelly
Take the long, large Bell, or Rouson-Grapes, and pick them from the Stalks, then Stone them and put them in boiling Water, and give them a thorough Scald; then take them from the Fire and cover them close down, so that no Steam can come out; then set them upon a very gentle Fire, so as not to boil for two or three Hours; then take them out, and put them into a clarified Sugar boiled, till it blows very strong, as much Sugar as will a little more than cover them; then give them a good Boil and let them settle a little: then give them another Boil, scum them, and then boil some other Sugar to blow very strong; and take as much Plumb-Jelly as Sugar, and give all a Boil, then add to it the Grapes, and give them all a Boil together, scum them well, and put them up into your Pots or Glasses.
