them up, &c.

_An approved Conserve for a Cough or Consumption of the Lungs._

Take a pound of Elecampane Roots, draw out the pith, and boil them in
two waters till they be soft, when it is cold put to it the like
quantity of the pap of roasted Pippins, and three times their weight of
brown sugar-candy beaten to powder, stamp these in a Mortar to a
Conserve, whereof take every morning fasting as much as a Walnut for a
week or fortnight together, and afterwards but three times a week.
_Approved_.

_To make conserve of Any of these Fruits._

When you have boiled your paste as followeth ready to fashion on the
Pie-plate, put it up into Gallipots, and never dry it, and this is all
the difference between Conserves. And so you may make Conserves of any
Fruits, this is for all hard Fruits, as Quinces, Pippins, Oranges and
Lemons.

_To dry any Fruits after they are preserved, to or Candy them._

Take Pippins, Pears or Plums, and wash them out in warm water from the
syrup they are preserved in, strew them over with searsed Sugar, as you
would do flower upon fish to fry them; set them in a broad earthen Pan,
that they may lie one by one; then set them in a warm Oven or Stove to
dry. If you will candy them withall, you must strew on Sugar three or
four times in the drying.

_To preserve Artichokes young, green Walnuts and Lemons, and the
Elecampane-Roots, or any bitter thing._

Take any of these, and boil them tender, and shift them in their boyling
six or seven times to take away their bitterness out of one hot water
into another, then put a quart of Salt unto them, then take them up and
dry them with a fair cloth, then put them into as much clarified Sugar
as will cover them, then let them boil a walm or two, and so let them
stand soaking in the Sugar till the next morning, then take them up and
boil the Sugar a little higher by it self, and when they are cold put
them up.

Let your green Walnuts be prickt full of holes with a great pin, and let
them not be long in one water, for that will make them look black; being
boiled tender, stick two or three Cloves in each of them.

Set your Elecampane-Roots, being clean scraped, and shifted in their
boilings a dozen times, then dry them in a fair cloth, and so boil them
as is above written, take half so much more than it doth weigh, because
it is bitter, &c.

_To preserve Quinces white or red._

Take the Quinces, and coar them, and pare them, those
