Take your Gooseberries, and stone them, then take a little more than
their weight in fine Sugar, then with as much Water as will melt the
Sugar, boil it and scum it, then put in your Goosberries, and boil them
apace till they be clear, then take up your Goosberries, and put them
into Glasses, and boil the Syrup a little more, and put over them.

Take one Ounce of Isinglass and lay it in Water four and twenty hours,
changing the Water three or four times, then take a quart of new Milk,
boiled with a little sliced Ginger and a stick of Cinamon, one spoonful
of Rosewater, and a quarter of a Pound of Sugar, when it hath boiled a
while, put in the Isinglass, and boil it till it be thick, keeping it
always stirring, then strain it, and keep it stirring, and when it is
cold, you may slice it out, and serve it upon Plates; you may colour it
with Saffron, and some with Turnsole, and lay the White and that one
upon another, and cut it, and it will look like Bacon; it is good for
weak people, and Children that have the Rickets.
