gers, which you must often try, with taking a little in the
Ladle; and as it cools, it will draw like a Thread; then put it into
the hot Pot, covering it close, and setting it in a very hot Stove
for three Days: It must stand three Weeks; but after the three first
Days a moderate Fire will do; but never stir the Pots, nor let the
Stove be quite cold: Then take it out, and pour out all the Syrup,
the Rock will be on the Sticks and the Pot-sides: set the Pots in
cold Water, in a Pan, on the Fire, and when it is thorough hot all
the Rock will slip out, and fall most of it in small Pieces; the
Sticks you must just dip in hot Water, and that will make the Rock
slip off; then put in a good Handful of dry Orange-Flowers, and take
a Ladle with Holes, and put the Rock and Flowers in it, as much as
will make as big a Lump as you wou'd like; dip it in scalding Water,
and lay it on a Tin Plate; then make it up in handsome Lumps, and as
hollow as you can: When it is so far prepar'd, put it in a hot
Stove, and the next Day it will stick together; then take it off the
Plates, and let it lye two or three Hours in the Stove; if there be
any large Pieces, you may make Bottoms of them, and lay small Pieces
on them.

_To make FRUIT-BISCUIT._

Scald the Fruit, dry it well from the Water, and rub it through a
Hair Sieve; stir it in a Pan over a slow Fire, 'till it is pretty
dry; the stiffer it is, the better; then take two Pound of fine
Sugar, sifted thro' an Hair Sieve, and a Spoonful of Gum-Dragon
steep'd very well, and strain'd, and about a Quarter of a Pound of
Fruit; mix it well with Sugar, beat it with a Biscuit-Beater, and
take the Whites of twelve Eggs, beat up to a very stiff Froth; put
in but a little at a Time, beating it 'till it is all in, and looks
as white as Snow, and very thick; then drop it on Papers, and put it
in an Oven; the Oven must be very cool, and shut up, to make them
rise: The Lemmon-Biscuit is made the same Way, only instead of Fruit
put in the Juice of three Lemmons; less will make two Pound; it must
have Juice enough to make it to a Paste, and the Rinds of two
Lemmons grated; and when it is beaten enough, put in a little Musk,
or Amber, and drop and bake it as other.

_To make all Sorts of SUGAR-PASTE._

Sift your Sugar thro' a Lawn Sieve, then sift some Starch as fine;
to a Pound of Sugar put a Quarter of a Pound of Starch; make it of
what Colour you please, into a stiff Paste; putting thereto
Gum-Dr
