10. Seudt Birne in süssem Most / thu sie auß auf ein saubers Bret / und laß kalt werden / laß den Most weiter sideden / biß er dick wirt / laß jn darnach kalt werden / streichs mit braunem Senf durch / thu alsdenn die gesottenen Birne darein / so wirt es gut und wohl geschmack. Wiltu aber ein guten Senf haben / so stoß Aniß und Coriander durcheinander / streichs durch mit braunem Senfmehl / und süssen gesottenem Wein / so wirt es gut und wohl geschmack.
10. Seethe pears in sweet grape juice/ take them out on a clean board/ and let cool/ let the juice boil/ until it is thick/ let it also get cold/ press through with brown mustard/ and through the boiled pears in it/ like this it is good and well tasting/ if you wish instead of a good mustard/ you can crush anise and coriander together/ strain through with brown mustard powder/ and sweet boiled wine/ like this it is good and well tasting.
