English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3842 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare rose-petal preserve as in recipe No. 3264. While still hot, add another ½ pound, or 1 glass, fine sugar.
Cook, stirring with a spoon, until the mixture becomes dough-like.
Spread on a dish or plate about two fingers thick and smooth the surface with the slightly moistened base of another plate.
Keep somewhere warm until a little dried, then cut into long pieces, sprinkle with sugar and dry again.
When dry, pack into jars with sugar between layers.
