_Of Cherries_.
_A way to dry Cherries_.
Take three quarters of a pound of _Sugar_, and a pound of _Cherries_,
their stalks and stones taken from them, then put a spoonfull
of clean water in the Skillet, and so lay a lay of _Cherries_ and another
of _Sugar_, till your quantity be out, then set them on the fire,
and boyle them as fast as conveniently you can, now and then
shaking them about the Skillet, for fear of burning, and when you
think they are enough, and clear, then take them off the fire, and
let them stand till they be halfe cold, then take them out as clear
from the Syrupe as you can, and lay them one by one upon sheets
of glasse, setting them either abroad in the sunne, or in a window
where the sunne may continually be upon them.
