99. _To preserve Orange or Limon Pills in thin slices in Jelly._

Take the most beautiful and thickest Rinds, and then cut them in halves,
and take their Meat clean out, then boil them in several waters till a
straw will run through them, then wash them in cold water, and pick them
and dry them:

Then take to a Pound of these, one quart of water wherein thin slices of
Pippins have been boiled, and that the water feels slippery, take to
this water three pounds of Sugar, and make thereof a Syrup, then put in
your Pills and scald them, and set them by till the next day, then boil
them till you find that the Syrup will jelly, then lay your Pills into
your Glasses, and put into your Syrup the Juice of three Oranges and one
Limon; then boil it again till it be a stiff Jelly, and put it to them.


100. _To make Cakes of the Pulp of Limons, or rather the Juice of
Limons._

Take out all the juice part of the Limon without breaking the little
skins which hold it, then boil some Sugar to a Candy height, and put in
this Juice, and stir it about, and immediately put it into a warm Stove,
and put in fire twice or thrice a day; when you see that it doth Candy
on the one side, then turn them out of the Glasses with a wet knife on
the other upon a sleeked Paper, and then let that candy also, and put
them up in a Box with Papers between them.
