whilst they look clear, so let them stand whilst they are cold; then
take six eggs, (leave out half of the whites) beat them very well, add
to them a pint of cream, mix the cream and eggs well together with a
spoonful of rose-water, then put in your apricocks, and beat them very
well together, with four ounces of clarified butter, then put it into
your dish with a thin paste under it; half an hour will bake it.

your eggs and cream together, with a quarter of a pound of fine sugar,
set it over a slow fire, stir it all one way whilst it begin to be

stand till they be dissolv'd, set them on the fire, and boil them till
they are tender and clear, strowing the remainder of the sugar on as
they boil, skim them clear, and lay them in glasses or pots single,
