- Let them be thoroughly ripe, and slit them down the seam ;
- then keep them in a scalding hot thin syrup till they are tender.
- When they are cool drain them from the syrup and put them into another made thus : to one pound of fine lump sugar put an ounce of water ;
- set it over the fire and boil it almost to a candy.
- Set them on the fire till they become scalded and clear;
- then put them out into a bowl, and in a few days lay them on proper dishes, and dry them in a stove, turning them every day.
