Take two Quarts of Goosberries, and two Quarts of red Rasberries, put them in a Pan, with about a Pint and an Half of Water; boil them over a very quick Fire to a Pommish, then throw them upon an earthen Pan, and press out all the Juice; then take that Juice and boil in it another Quart of Rasberries, then throw them on a Sieve, and rub all through the Sieve that you can; then put in the Seeds and weigh the Paste, and to every Pound take twenty Ounces of fine Loaf-sugar, boiled, when clarified, till it cracks, then remove it from the Fire, and put in your Paste, mix it well, and set it over a slow Fire, stirring it till all the Sugar is melted, and you find it is become a Jelly; then take it from the Fire and fill your Pots or Glasses, whilst very hot, then scum them and put them into the Stove; observe, when cold, the drying them, as in [p. 16].
To make Rasberry-Biscakes.
Press out the Juice, and dry the Paste a little over the Fire, then rub all the Pulp through a Sieve; then weigh, and to every Pound take eighteen Ounces of Sugar, sifted very fine, and the Whites of four Eggs, put all in the Pan together, and with a Whisp beat till it is very stiff, so that you may lay it in pretty high Drops; and when it is so beaten, drop it in what Form you please on the back Sides of Cards, (Paper being too thin, it will be difficult to get it off;) dust them a little with a very fine Sugar, and put them into a very warm Stove to dry; when they are dry enough, they will come easily from the Cards; but whilst soft, they will not stir; then take and turn then on a Sieve, and let them remain a Day or two in the Stove; then pack them up in your Box, and they will, in a dry Place, keep all the Year without shifting.
To make Currant-Paste.
Wash well your Currants and put them into your preserving Pan, bruise them, and with a little Water, boil them to a Pulp, press out the Juice, and to every Pound take twenty Ounces of Loaf-sugar, boil it to crack; then take it from the Fire, and put in the Paste; then heat it over the Fire, take off the Scum, and put it into your Paste-pots or Glasses, then dry and manage them as other Pastes.
To make Rasberry-Jam.
Press out the Water from the Rasberries; then to every Pound of Rasberries take one Pound of Sugar, first dry the Rasberries in a Pan over the Fire, but keep them stirring, lest they burn; put in your Sugar, and incorporate them well together, and fill your Glasses or Pots, covering them with thin white Paper close to the Jam, whilst it is hot; and when cold, tie them over with other Paper.
