Note
Notes from dealer sent to curatorial file
From dealer's description: "This manuscript comprises a total of 16 recipes on 10 pages: "To presarue Sitterns whit in Jeley"; "To presarue pipings hole or half"; "To preserue hole quinces in Jelly"; "Dryd Cittern whit"; "cittern cakes whit"; "To Dry oringes whole or halfs or peeces"; "Apricock ceakes"; "To dry Gooberys"; "To dry cherys"; "To dry ploms"; "lemon cream yallow"; "Apricock creme"; "To make clouted creame": "To make A sack creame"; "A pottagee"; "ye force meat". These recipes have been written on loose sheets and appear to have been written out at a single sitting. They are quite detailed, suggesting the scribe was not familiar with the recipes as it would be possible to follow these recipes quite easily. The fact that they were never bound perhaps suggests they were copied out from another manuscript with the intention of inserting them into a volume when the scribe returned home."
