dry; when they are dry, put them in a Glass that
has a Cover, or in some close Place, where they may not lose their
Scent.

_To burn ALMONDS._

Take a Pound of _Jordan_-Almonds, set them before a hot Fire, or in
an Oven, 'till they are very crisp; then take three Quarters of a
Pound of Sugar, one Ounce of Chocolate grated, and a Quarter of a
Pint of Water, and boil these almost to a Candy; then put in the
Almonds, and let them be just hot; take them off and stir them,
'till the Sugar grows dry, and hangs about the Almonds: Put them out
of the Pan on a Paper, and put them asunder.

_To make LEMMON-WAFERS._

Take fine sifted Sugar, and put it in Spoons, colouring it in every
Spoon of several Colours; wet it with Juice of Lemmon; this is to
paint the Wafers. Cut little square Papers, of very thick but very
fine Paper, (a Sheet will make two Dozen) then take a Spoonful of
Sugar, wet it with Juice of Lemmon, let it be pretty stiff, hold the
Spoon over the Fire 'till it grows thin, and is just scalding hot;
then put a Tea-Spoonful on the Paper, rubbing it equally all over
the Paper very thin; then paint it of what Colour you please, first
scalding the Colours: When you see it grows dry, pin it at two
Corners of the Paper; when they are cold, and you have made all you
design to make, put them into a Box, and set them a Day or two by
the Fire; then wet the Papers, with your Fingers dipt into Water, on
the Outside; let them lye a little, and the Papers will come off.
The Colours are made thus: The Red with Carmine, the Blue with
Smalt, the Green with Powder, call'd Green-Earth, and the Yellow
with Saffron steep'd in Lemmon-Juice.

_To candy little GREEN-ORANGES._

Lay the Oranges in Water three Days, shifting them every Day; then
put them into scalding Water, keeping them in a Scald, close
cover'd, 'till they are green; then boil them 'till they are tender,
and put them in Water for three Days more, shifting the Water every
Day: Make a Syrup with their Weight in Sugar, Half a Pint of Water
to a Pound of Sugar; when the Syrup is cold put the Oranges into it;
let them lye two or three Days, and then candy them out as other
Oranges.

_To candy COWSLIPS, or any FLOWERS or GREENS in BUNCHES._

Steep Gum-Arabick in Water, wet the Flowers with it, and shake them
in a Cloth, that they may be dry; then dip them in fine sifted
Sugar, and hang them on a String, ty'd cross a Chimney that has a
Fire in it: They must hang
