Nun’s Butter
200. Take equal portions of butter and sugar; beat them well together, then add cinnamon and nutmeg to the taste.
Dried Peach Sauce
201. Pick your fruit, wash it through several waters; then pour as much hot water on as will cover it, and let it stand all night. The next morning put the fruit, and the water it was soaked in, into a preserving kettle, and stew the peaches till they are very soft; when done pass the fruit through a colander to make it perfectly smooth, sweeten it to your taste, put it back in the stew-pan and let it boil once. Stand it away to cool.
