Scald them as you do to preserve, then stamp them in a Mortar, and take
their weight in fine Sugar, boil it to a Candy height with a little
water, then boil it and the Pulp together, till it will come from the

130. _To preserve green Walnuts._
Take them and steep them all night in water, in the morning pare them
and boil them in fair water till they be tender, and then stick a Clove
