 your cream cool, and thicken it with the yolks of six eggs; then garnish a deep dish, and lay paste at the bottom, then put in shred artichoke-bottoms, being first boiled, upon that a little melted butter, shred citron, and candied orange; so do till your dish is near full, then pour in your cream, and bake it without a lid. When it is baked, scrape sugar over it, and serve it up hot. Half an hour will bake it.

MAKE puff-paste, roll it thin, and if you have any moulds, work it upon them, make them up with preserved pippins. you may fill some with gooseberries, some with raspberries, or what you please, then close them up, and either bake or fry them; throw grated sugar over them, and serve them up.
