_A Conserve of Roses._
Take red _Rose_ buds, clip of all the white, bruised, and withered
from them, then weigh them out, and taking to every pound of
_Roses_ three pound of _Sugar_, stamp the _Roses_ by themselves very
small putting a little juice of _Lemmons_ or _Rose_ water to them as
they wax dry, when you see the _Roses_ small enough, put the _Sugar_
to them, and beat them together till they be well mingled,
then put it up in Gally pots or glasses; in like manner are the
Conserverves of Flowers, of _Violets, Cowslips, Marigolds, Sage_, and
_Sea boise_ made.
_To Preserve Roses or any other Flowers._
Take one pound of _Roses_, three pound of _Sugar_, one pint of
_Rose_ water, or more, make your Syrupe first, and let it stand till it
be cold, then take your _Rose_ leaves, having first clipt off all the
white, put them into the cold Syrupe, then cover them, and set
them on a soft fire, that they may but simper for two or three
hours, then while they are hot put them into pots or glasses for
your use.
_How to Preserve Barbaries._
First take the fairest _Barbaries_, and of them the greatest bunches
you can get, and with a needle take out the stones on the one
side of them, then weigh out to every halfe pound of them one
pound of _Sugar_, put them into a Preserving pan, strow the _Sugar_
on them, and let them boyle a quarter of an hour softly, then taking
out the _Barbaries_ let the Syrupe boyle a quarter of an hour more,
then put in the _Barbaries_ againe, and let them boyle a pretty while
with the Syrupe, then take them from the Syrupe, and let them
both stand till they be cold, and so put them up.
