"Pick and wash your Straw Berries clean, and put them in the pan, one by another, as thick as you can, then take Sugar, Cinamon, and a little Ginger finely beaten, and well mingled together, cast them upon the Straw Berries, and cover them with the lid finely cut into Lozenges, and so let them bake a quarter of an houre, then take it out, strewing it with a little Cinamon, and Sugar, and so serve it."

UPDATE (Oct. 2012) Much of the original site is now dead. I've written to Wisconsin U Libraries asking if some remedial server work can bring it all back. Fingers crossed. It was an excellent exhibition site.
