and tye it up round. This Quantity will make three Quinces. Set them into three Pots, or _China_ Cups, that will just hold one; cut off the Stalk-End of the Quince, and put it in the Pot or Cup, to make a Dent in the Quince, that it may be like a whole Quince; let them stand two or three Days, that they may be very stiff; take them out of the Muslin, and make a strong Jelly with Apples and Quinces: Take two Pints of Jelly and two Pound of Sugar, boil it fast 'till it jellies very well; then put in the Quinces, and let them have two or three Boils to make them hot; put them in Pots or Glasses, with Paper close to them. _To make QUINCE-CHIPS._ Pare the Quinces, and slice them into Water; put them into boiling Water; let them boil fast 'till they are very tender, but not so soft as to break them: Take them out with a Skimmer, lay them on a Sieve 'till they are well drain'd, and have ready a very thick Syrup of clarify'd Sugar; put them into as much as will cover them, then boil them 'till they are very clear, and the next Day scald them; and if you see they want Syrup, put in a Pint more, but let it be very thick: Scald them twice more, then lay them out on Earthen Plates in a Stove, sift them well with Sugar: Turn them and sift them 'till they are dry. _To make QUINCE-PASTE._ Pare the Quinces, and quarter them; to a Pound of Quince put half a Pound of Sugar and half a Pint of Water; boil it fast 'till the Quinces are all to Pieces; then rub it very fine, 'till there be no Lumps in it, and put to it a Pint of Jelly of Quince, boil'd with as much Water as will cover them, and run through a Jelly-bag; boil the Quinces Jelly together, and to a Pint of it put a Pound and a Quarter of fine Sugar; let it scald, but not boil, 'till the Sugar is melted; skim it, and put it in the Stove; turn it when it is candy'd; twice turning will do. _To make QUINCE CLEAR-CAKES._ Pare, quarter, and boil the Quince with as much Water as will cover it, putting in a little more as it boils, but not too much; let it be a very strong Jelly, and run it through a Jelly-bag; put a Pound and a Half of the finest sifted Sugar to a Pint of Jelly; let the Jelly boil, then put in the Sugar, and let it scald 'till the Sugar is melted; then put it through a Strainer, laid in a broad Earthen Pan; fill it in little Pots, and when it is hard candy'd, turn it on Glasses as other Clear-Cakes: Colour the Jelly, if you wou'd have any Red Quince
