l the yellow Rind, beat the
White very well in a Tray, or wooden Bowl, shred the Rind, and to a
Pound of the Pulp and Rind take a Pound and a Half of Sugar and half
a Pint of Water; when it boils, put in the Citron, boil it very fast
'till it is clear; then put in half a Pint of Pippin-Jelly, and boil
it 'till it jellies very well; then put in the Juice of a Lemmon:
Put it in Pots or Glasses.
_To candy ORANGE-FLOWERS._
Take the Flowers full blown, pick the white Leaves, and put them in
Water an Hour or two; then put them into boiling Water, letting them
boil 'till they are tender; then drain them from that Water, and let
them lye in cold Water, 'till you make a Syrup of very fine Sugar,
as much as you think will cover them; to a Pound of Sugar put three
Quarters of a Pint of Water; and when the Syrup is cold, put in the
Leaves, and let them lye all Night; scald them the next Day, and let
them lye in the Syrup two or three Days; then make a Syrup, (if you
have a Pound of the Flowers) with a Pound and Half of fine Sugar and
half a Pint of Water; boil and skim it, and when it is cold, drain
the Flowers from the thin Syrup, and put them in the Thick; let them
lye two or three Days; then make them just hot, and in a Day or two
more lay them out on Glasses: Spread them very thin, sift them with
fine Sugar, and put them in a Stove: Four or five Hours will dry
them on one Side; then scrape them on Paper with the wet Side
uppermost, and set them in the Stove 'till they are almost dry; then
pick them asunder, and let them be in a Stove 'till they are quite
dry: You may put some of them in Jelly, if you like it.
_To make ROCK-SUGAR._
Take a red Earthen Pot, that will hold about four Quarts, (those
Pots that are something less at the Top and Bottom than in the
Middle) stick it pretty thick with the Sticks of a white Wisk,
a-cross, one over the other; set it before a good Fire, that it may
be very hot against your Sugar is boil'd; then take ten Pound of
double-refin'd Sugar finely beaten, the Whites of two Eggs beaten to
a Froth in half a Pint of Water, and mix it with the Sugar; then put
to it a Quart of Orange-flower-water and three half Pints of Water,
setting it on a quick Fire; when it boils thoroughly put in half a
Pint of Water more to raise the Scum, and let it boil up again; then
take it off and skim it; do so two or three Times, 'till it is very
clear; then let it boil, 'till you find it draw between your
Fin
