then peel them, and put them into another warm water, and cover them
till they are very green over a slow fire, then lay them on a clean
Cloth to dry, then take their weight in fine Sugar, and boil it to a
Candy height with some Rosewater, then put in your stalks, and boil them
up quick, and shake them often and when you judge they be enough, lay
them on a Pie-plate, and open them with a little stick, and so they will
be hollow, and some of them you may braid, and twist some of them, so
keep them dry.
