Robert Kemp Philp
585
1626.
Degrees
of
Heat
Required.
Flowers
or
aromatic
plants
require
the
smallest
increase
of
heat
beyond
the
temperature
of
the
season,
provided
that
season
be
genial:
something
more
for
rinds
or
roots,
and
a
greater
heat
for
fruits;
but
this
heat
must
not
be
carried
to
excess.

1627.
Proportions
of
Heat.
Philosophic
confectioners
may
avail
themselves
of
the
thermometer;
but
practice
forms
the
best
guide
in
this
case,
and
therefore
we
shall
say,
without
speaking
of
degrees
of
Fahrenheit
or
Réaumur,
that
if
the
necessary
heat
for
flowers
is
one,
that
for
rinds
and
roots
must
be
one
and
a
quarter,
that
for
fruits
one
and
three
quarters,
or
nearly
double
of
what
one
may
be
above
the
freezing
point.
1628.
Hints
about
making
Preserves.
It
is
not
generally
known
that
boiling
fruit
a
long
time,
and
skimming
it
well,
without
sugar,
and
without
a
cover
to
the
preserving
pan,
is
a
very
economical
and
excellent
way--economical,
because
the
bulk
of
the
scum
rises
from
the
fruit,
and
not
from
the
sugar;
but
the
latter
should
be
good.
Boiling
it
without
a
cover
allows
the
evaporation
of
all
the
watery
particles
therefrom,
and
renders
the
preserves
firm
and
well
flavoured.
The
proportions
are,
three
quarters
of
a
pound
of
sugar
to
a
pound
of
fruit.
Jam
made
in
this
way
of
currants,
strawberries,
raspberries,
or
gooseberries,
is
excellent.
The
sugar
should
be
added
after
the
skimming
is
completed.
1629.
To
make
a
Syrup.
Dissolve
one
pound
of
sugar
in
about
a
gill
of
water,
boil
for
a
few
minutes,
skimming
it
till
quite
clear.
To
every
two
pounds
of
sugar
add
the
white
of
one
egg
well
beaten.
Boil
very
quickly,
and
skim
carefully
while
boiling.
