>Take as many sour cherries as you wish and put them in a pot on the fire and
>add just enough water, and let them cook in this water until they become
>very tender and appear to be white;
>and then throw out the water in which
>they have cooked;
Blasphemy!
>and then take a coarse sieve of bristles
Could this be a hair sieve?
, which you can
>strain them with and rub them with your hands until they have all passed
>through. Then take for each pound of these sour cherries, prepared in this
>way, half a pound of sugar and mix it in its pot over a low fire; stirring
>constantly with a piece of cane
What type of cane? sugarcane?
