To candy ANGELICA.
TAKE it when young, cut it in lengths, cover
it close, and boil it till it is tender, peel it, and
put it in again, let it simmer and boil till it is
green, then take it up, and dry it with a cloth;
to every pound of stalks put a pound of sugar;
put your stalks into an earthen pan, beat the
sugar and strew over them, let it stand two days,
then boil it till it is clear and green, put it in a
cullendar to drain; beat a pound of sugar to a
powder again, strew it on your angelica, lay it
on plates to dry, and set them in the oven after
the pies are drawn.—Three pounds and a half of
sugar is enough for four pounds of stalks.
