Take a Pint of Ale Yest, and a Pound and half of fresh Butter, melt your
Butter, and let it cool a little, then take as much fine Flower as you
think will serve, mingle it with the Butter and Yest, and as much
Rosewater and Sugar as you think fit, and if you please, some Caraway
Comfits, so bake it in little Cakes; they will last good half a year.


98. _To preserve red Roses, which is as good and effectual as any
Conserve, and made with less trouble._

Take Red Rose Buds clipped clean from their Whites one pound, put them
into a Skillet with four Quarts of Water, Wine measure, then let them
boil very fast till three Quarts be boiled away, then put in three
pounds of fine Sugar, and let it boil till it begins to be thick, then
put in the Juice of a Limon, and boil it a little longer, and when it is
almost cold, put it into Gally-Pots, and strew them over with searced
Sugar, and so keep them so long as you please, the longer the better.


99. _A fine Cordial Infusion._

Take the flesh of a Cock Chick cut in small pieces, and put into a Glass
with a wide Mouth, put to it one Ounce of Harts-horn, half an Ounce of
Red Coral prepared, with a little large Mace, and a slice or two of
Limon, and two Ounces of White Sugar-Candy, stop the Glass close with a
Cork, and set it into a Vessel of seething Water, and stuff it round
with Hay that it jog not; when you find it to be enough, give the sick
Party two spoonfuls at a time.
