Take a handfull or two of the worser of your _Goose-Berries_, cut
off their stalks and heads, and boyle them all to pieces, in a pottell
of water, putting into the boyling thereof, halfe a quarter of
_sugar_, then take the liquor, straine it through a haire strainer, and
while it cooleth cut off the stalks and heads of the fairest
_Goose-Berries_, being very carefull you cut not the skin of them
