To Dry Peaches Recipe

Stone the largest white Newington Peaches, and pare them, and have

ready a Pan over the Fire with boiling Water; put in the Peaches,

and let them boil 'till they are tender; then lay them on a Sieve to

drain out all the Water; weigh them, and lay them in the Pan you

boil them in, and cover them with their Weight in Sugar; let them

lye two or three Hours; then boil them 'till they are clear, and the

Syrup pretty thick; set them by cover'd, with a Paper close to them;

the next Day scald them very well, setting them off the Fire and on

again, 'till the Peaches are thorough hot; repeat this for three

Days; then lay them on Plates to dry, and turn them every Day 'till

dry.
