SC - RE: Web translators

[Dana Huffman]

I don't think I've done this one yet, so here's a
human-done translation for the convenience of those who
want to compare:

Recipe for quice turnovers
     Put the peeled and quartered quinces in a frying pan,
cover them with water and honey.  And [with the] frying pan
put on the fire, turn the quinces many times.  And when
they are white, remove them and make the turnovers. And
[with the] slices of quince put in the turnover, put sugar
and cinnamon on top; and of the honey in which they were
cooked, a little.  And [with the] turnover covered, cook
[it] in the oven.  Make on top of the turnover a hole and,
when it is half cooked (or: in the middle of cooking), put
in another little bit of honey;  and they will finish
cooking.  And to see if they are cooked or not do thus: put
a stick through the hole, and if the honey forms threads
they are cooked and if not, [they are] not.
