fire, and when it is hot put in the apples, cover them close, but they
must not boil, so let them stand till thye be soft, and there will be a
thin skin on them, peel it off, and set them to cool, then put them in
again, let them boil till they be very green, and keep them whole as
you can; when you think them ready to take up, make your syrrup for

and to a pound of sugar you may add a pint of water, boil and skim it
before you put in your oranges, let it boil half an hour very quick,
then put in your meat, and to a pint take a pound and a half of sugar,
