Preserves

have been

soaked

to

every

three-quarters

of

a

pound

of

the

sugar.

The

reason

for

steeping

the

pips

is

that

they

yield

a

glutinous

substance,

w^hich

adds

richness

to

the

marmalade.

Boil

the

syrup

for

twenty

minutes,

allowing

three-quarters

of

a

pound

of

sugar

and

one

pint

of

water

to

every

pound

of

orange

pulp.

Put

the

pulp

and

juice

into

the

syrup,

and

boil

for

half

an

hour,

carefully

skimming

off

the

scum

as

it

rises.

During

the

last

five

minutes

add

the

shreds

of

orange-peel.

Put

the

marmalade

into

pots,

and

tie

them

down

next

day.

Clear

Orange

Marmalade,

In

this

marmalade

there

are

no

shreds

of

orange-peel.

Cut

the

oranges

in

half

after

they

are

peeled

and

freed

from

the

white

skin.

Boil

them

for

three-quarters

of

an

hour,

allowing

one

pint

of

water

to

twelve

oranges.

Strain

off

the

juice,

and

boil

it

up

sharp

for

ten

minutes.

Allow

three-quarters

of

a

pound

of

sugar

to

every

pint

of

juice.

Boil

for

twenty

or

five-and-

twenty

minutes

till

it

jellies.

Four

oranges

make

a

pound

pot

of

marmalade.

It

is

an

improvement

if

half

the

peel

taken

from

the

oranges

is

grated

finely,

and

boiled

with

the

oranges.

Quince

Marmalade,

Scald

the

quinces,

pare,

core,

and

quarter

them.

To

four

pounds

of

fruit

add

three

pounds

and

a

half

of

sugar.

Take

three

pints

of

the

water

the

quinces

were

scalded

in,

and

boil

in

it

both

the

parings

and

the

cores.

Strain

the

water,

and

add

it

to

the

quinces

and

the

sugar.

Let

it

stand

all
