Marmalade

Ingredients

• oranges
• sugar

Instructions

Cut the oranges in half and work in a spoon to remove the inside. Slice the peel very fine. Take the skin and seeds from the pulp and mix peel and pulp together and weigh them. For every pound of fruit, pour three pints of cold water over it and let stand twenty four hours. Boil till chips are tender (about an hour and a half). This absorbs a great deal of the fluid. Let it stand another twenty-four hours. To every pound of boiled fruit, put one and one quarter pounds of sugar. Boil till syrup jellies, and chips are transparent. Boil pippins and skins in a gallon of water, and strain.
