To make sauce of the juice of quinces: Grate the quince lightly with a grater, without peeling it, and put it inside the woolen cloth, and press it until it has yielded all the juice, and put it in a flask until the thickest part goes to the bottom, and take the clearest part, and put it in a glazed casserole or pot, and for each pound of juice put eight ounces of sugar, and two ounces of vinegar, and one ounce of wine of San Martin, and cook it in the manner that the Royal Sauce is cooked, as described above, with a quarter [ounce] of whole cinnamon, half a nutmeg, and four cloves.
