Fruit Wafers of Codlings, Plumbs, &c. RUB the pulp of any fruit through a hair sieve, and to every three ounces of fruit take six ounces of sugar finely sifted. Dry the sugar very well till it be very hot; heat the pulp also till it be very hot; then mix it and set it over a slow charcoal fire, till it be almost a-boiling, then pour it in glasses or trenchers, and set in the stove till you see it will leave the glasses; but be- fore it begins to candy, turn them on papers in what form you please. They may be coloured red with clove gilly-flowers steeped in the juice of lemon.
