_ From the same.
Take large pickled Herrings, take off the Skin; then take the Flesh from
the Bones, on each side, all in one piece, crossing them every half-inch.
Then lay the Parts next the Head, in the middle of the Plate, spreading
their Bodies to the outside, like a Star, garnishing them with the Roots of
red Beets sliced, Lemon sliced, and Berberries pickled. This is commonly
eaten with Vinegar, and Bread and Butter, but Onion and Pepper is sometimes
used.
_Marmalade_ of _Peaches._ From the same.
Take Peaches, well grown and almost ripe; pare them, and take their Flesh
clean from the Stones. Lay them with a little Water into a Stew-Pan, and
add three Quarters of their weight of fine Sugar powder'd. Let this stew
till the Peaches are tender, and then mash them with a Spoon, letting them
boil gently all the while, till the Whole becomes thick, almost like a
Paste; then take it out, and cool it in a _China_ Dish, or earthen glazed
Pan; and when it is cold, put it into Glasses, and cover them over with
white Paper.
White _Peach-_Tarts. From the same.
Make some Coffins of sweet Paste, and when they are gently baked, and cold,
fill them with the above-mention'd Marmalade of Peaches, and serve them.
_Apricots_ preserv'd for Tarts.
