VIII. An Account of a new fort o/Moloflfes made of 
Apples-^ and of the dege?ierati?ig of Smelts, (By- 
the Honourable Paul Dudley, F. ^ S. 
T H E Apple, that produces the Molojfes^ is a Sum- 
mer-Sweeting, of a middling Size,plealant to the 
Tafle, and full of Juice, fo that feven Bulliels will 
make a Barrel of Cyder. The manner of making it is 
thus ; you grind and prels the Apples, and then take 
the Juice and boil it in a Copper till three Quarters of 
it is wafted, which will be done in about fix Hours 
gentle boiling ; and by that Time it comes to be of 
the Sweetnels and Confiftency of Molojfes. 
Some of our People feum the Cyder as it boils, - 
others do not, and yet there feems to be no great dif* 
ference in the Goodnels. 
This new Moloffes anfwers all the Ends of that 
made of the fweet Cane imported from beyond Sea. 
It ferves not only for Food and brewing, but is of great 
Ule allb in prefer ving of Cyder ; two ^larts of it put 
into a Barrel of rack’d Cyder, will both preferve and ^ 
give it a very agreeable Colour. 
The Apple Molojfes was difeovered a few Years 
fmee, by a * Gentleman of my Acquaintance, 2XJVood- 
ftock^ in this Province, a Town remote from the Sea, 
and where the TV eji India Molo ffes is dear and Icarce ; 
he ingenuoufty confeftes the Difeovery was purely ac- 
cidental; but ever ftnee he has fupplied his Family 
with Molojfes out of his Orchard, and his Neigbours 
alfb now do the like to their great Advantage.
