For your further delight - A TUDOR RECIPE

CONSERVE OF ROSES

Take Roses at your pleasure, put them to a boyle in faire water, having regard to the quantity; for if you have many Roses you may take more water, if fewer, the lesse water will serve: the which you shall boyle at the least three or foure houres, even as you would boile a piece of meate, untill in the eating they be very tender, at which time, the Roses will lose their colour, that you would thinke your labour lost, and the thing spoiled. But proceed for though the Roses have lost their colour, the water hath gotten the tincture thereof; then shall you adde unto one pound of Roses, four pound of fine sugar in pure pouder, and so according to the rest of the Roses. Thus shall you let them bolye gently after the sugar is put therto; continually stirring it with a woodden Spatula untill it be cold, whereof one pound weight is worth sex pound of the crude or raw conserve, as well for the vertues and goodnesse in taste, as also for the beautifull colour.
