QUINCE SNOW (for Dessert)

Take some fine fresh quinces, and boil them till tender. Peel, cut them into slices, and mash them. Weigh out an equal quantity of sugar. To every pound of quinces, take the whites of three eggs beaten up, and add them one after the other, turning always the same way. After each addition, add also a spoonful of sugar. Continue beating till the whole is white and frothy: the longer it is beaten the better the snow will be. Spread it upon wafer-paper in any shapes you please, and let the snow dry in the sun.
