Peach Pies
Take as many ripe peaches as will fill a deep
pie dish cover the inside of the dish with a
light paste, peel the skin from the peaches
and break them in halves. Take out the stones.
A few of the peach meats must be blanched by
putting them into hot water, then pound them
fine, and put them into the dish with the
peaches, add a good deal of sifted white sugar,
cover the dish with a thick top of crust & bake it.

Apples prepared for nice pies.
The apples must be white, nice, and juicy; cut
in small thick pieces into cold water, after they
are drained from the water put them into a nice
bell metal kettle, a layer of apple, then some fresh
lemon peel cut in thin small shreds, then cover
them thick with sifted white sugar, and wet
it with rose water, then again the apple, and so on
until the kettle is filled, stew them gently close
covered, until half or three quarters done, when
take off the cover, see that they and equally done,
taking care not to mash them if rightly done, they
will be very clear, squeeze a little lemon juice if you like--

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
