To Dry Grapes Recipe
Take the large Bell-Grapes, just before they are ripe; stone them in
Bunches, and put them into scalding Water, covering them close with
Vine-Leaves, and a Cover on the Pan; keep them in a Scald, putting
them on and off the Fire 'till they are green; then give them a Boil
in the Water, drain them on a Sieve, and to every Pound of Grapes
make a thick Syrup of a Pound and a Half of clarify'd Sugar; and
when the Syrup is cold, put in the Grapes, and scald them every Day
'till the Syrup is thick, but never let them boil; then lay them out
on Earthen Plates, and sift them very well with Sugar; dry them in a
Stove, and turn and sift them every Day.
