The same question was posted at Rencentral.com (renaissance central) by a 
lady in Tir Ysgithr. She references a recipe from Markham and posted:

""and so let it boil six or seven walms," Now what the heck is a walm? (See 
Note #2) Okay, boil it for 6 or 7 boils. Thanks for clearing that up. 
    
Note #2: (from the glossary) Walm - boil
