(Well some of it is in a form of late middle English lol)Take the gooseberries and boil them until they go soft in a white claret wine, or a strong ale. Then adding some white bread, boil some more and then put the mixture through a strainer as thickly as possible. Add the yolks of five eggs and season with some sugar & lastly bake with half a dish of butter.

Hey Yuhki, you have a rough translation below, though it's skipping past some of the words. Perhaps the better thing to do would be to highlight which parts of the recipe you are confident with, and which you are less so, and then we could work on those more difficult parts of the recipe?
