41. _To pickle Cucumbers._

Take the least you can get, and lay a layer of Cucumbers, and then a
layer of beaten Spices, Dill, and Bay Leaves, and so do till you have
filled your Pot, and let the Spices, Dill, and Bay Leaves cover them,
then fill up your Pot with the best Wine Vinegar, and a little Salt,
and so keep them.

Sliced Turneps also very thin, in some Vinegar, Pepper and a little
Salt, do make a very good Sallad, but they will keep but six Weeks.


42. _To make Sugar Cakes._

Take a pound of fine Sugar beaten and searced, with four Ounces of the
finest Flower, put to it one pound of Butter well washed with
Rose-water, and work them well together, then take the Yolks of four
Eggs, and beat them with four Spoonfuls of Rosewater, in which hath been
steeped two or three days before Nutmeg and Cinamon, then put thereto so
much Cream as will make it knead to a stiff Paste, rowl it into thin
Cakes, and prick them, and lay them on Plates, and bake them; you shall
not need to butter your Plates, for they will slip off of themselves,
when they are cold.
