Take halfe a dozen of thick-rined _Lemmons_, cut them through the
middest, and boyle them tender in faire water, then stamp them in a
Morter, strayne the juyce or pulp from them, and dry it, and put two
pound of _Shugar_ to it, then make it into what fashion you will, on a
sheet of white paper, dry it in an Oven, and turne it often for two
dayes and two nights, for in that time it will be dry enough; box it
thus up, and it will endure all the Yeare.
