the best way._
First stone them and weigh them, half a pound of sugar to half a pound
of them, then pair them and slice them into that liquor, take the weight
of it in sugar; then take as many Rasberries as will colour it, and
strain them into the liquor, then put in the sugar, boil it as fast as
you can, then skim it till it be very clear, then put in your
Barberries, and that sugar you weighed, and so let them boil till the
skin be fully risen up, then take them off, and skin them very clean,
and put them up.
_To make Lozenges of Red Roses._

First scald them very well, then slice them into a Dish, and pour a
Candy Syrup to them scalding hot, and let them stand all night, then lay

a glass through a Tiffany strainer. Be sure you put sugar enough to them
at the first, and it will keep a year good, if it be set up well.
