berries you can get, and to every Pound of Rasberries take one Pound and a Half of Sugar, clarify it, and boil it till it blows very strong; then put in the Rasberries, and let them boil as fast as possible, strewing a little fine beaten Sugar on them as they boil; when they have had a good Boil, that the Sugar rises all over them, take them from the Fire, and let them settle a little, then give them another Boil, and put to every Pound of Rasberries half a Pint of Currant-Jelly; let them have a good Boil, till you perceive the Syrup hangs in Fleeks from your Scummer; then remove them from the Fire, take off the Scum, and put them into your Glasses or Pots. _Note_, Take Care to remove what Scum there may be on the Top; when cold, make a little Jelly of Currants, and fill up the Glasses; then cover them with Paper first wet in fair Water, and dry'd a little betwixt two Cloths, which Paper you must put close to the Jelly; then wipe clean your Glasses, and cover the Tops of them with other Paper. _To make Rasberry-Cakes._ Pick all the Grubs and spotted Rasberries away; then bruise the rest, and put them on a Hair-sieve over an earthen Pan, putting on them a Board and Weight to press out all the Water you can; then put the Paste into your preserving Pan, and dry it over the Fire, till you perceive no Moisture left in it, that is, no Juice that will run from it, stirring it all the Time it is on the Fire to keep it from burning; then weigh it, and to every Pound take one Pound and two Ounces of Sugar, beat to a fine Powder, and put in the Sugar by Degrees; when all is in, put it on the Fire, and incorporate them well together; then take them from the Fire and scrape it all to one Side of the Pan; let it cool a very little, then put it into your Moulds; when quite cold, put them into your Stove without dusting it, and dry it as other Sorts of Paste. _Note_, You must take particular Care that your Paste doth not boil after your Sugar is in; for if it does, it will grow greasy and never dry well. _To make Rasberry Clear-Cakes._ Take two Quarts of ripe Goosberries, or white Currants, and one Quart of red Rasberries, put them into a Stone-Jug and stop them close; then put it into a Pot of cold Water, as much as will cover the Neck of the Jug; then boil them in that Water till all comes to a Paste, then turn them out in a Hair-sieve, placed over a Pan, press out all the Jelly
