To Candy Angelica.
Gather it in April, boil it in water till it be tender, then take it up and
drain it from the water very well; scrape the outside of it, dry it in a clean
cloth, and lay it in the syrup; let it lie three or four days, and cover it
close: the syrup must be rich, and keep it hot a good while, but let it not
boil; lay it upon a pie plate, to let it dry; and keep it near the fire, lest it
dissolve.

GATHER your asparagus, and lay them in an earthen pot; make a brine of water and
salt strong enough to bear an egg, pour it hot on them, and keep it close
covered. When you use them, lay them in cold water two hours, then boil and
butter them for table.
