Pears cooked without coals or water.

pg 108 #72
Chiquart


To instruct the person who will be cooking them, he 
should get a good new earthenware pot, then get the 
number of pears he will be wanting to cook and put 
them into that pot; when they are in it, stop it up 
with clean little sticks of wood in such a way that 
when the pot is upside down on the hot coals it does 
not touch them at all; then turn it upside down on 
the hot coals and keep it covered over with coals 
/103r/ and leave it to cook for an hour or more.  
Then uncover them and check whether they have cooked 
enough, and leave them there until they are cooked 
through.  When they are cooked, put them out into 
fine silver dishes; then they are borne to the sick 
person.
