Give them often Ants and their Eggs,
laying near them the inward mould of an Ant hill, taken up with the Ants in
it.
TO MAKE PUFFS
Take new milk Curds, strained well from the whey; then rub them very well;
season them with Nutmeg, Mace, Rose-water and Sugar; then take an Egg or
two, a good piece of Butter, and a handful of flower; work all together,
and make them into Balls; bake them in an oven, upon sheets of Paper; when
they are baked, serve them up with butter melted and beaten with Rose-water
and Sugar. In stead of flower, you may take fine grated-bread, dried very
well, but not Crisp.
APPLES IN GELLY
My Lady Paget makes her fine preserved Pippins, thus: They are done best,
when Pippins are in their prime for quickness, which is in November. Make
your Pippin-water as strong as you can of the Apples, and that it may be
the less boiled, and consequently the paler, put in at first the greatest
quantity of pared and quartered Apples, the water will bear. To every Pint
of Pippin-water add (when you put the Sugar to it) a quarter of a pint of
fair spring-water, that will bear soap (of which sort only you must use)
and use half a pound of Sugar, the purest double refined.
