Ingredients
- 12 pints of water
- 12 pounds of sugar
- one dozen oranges
- 4 lemons
Directions
One dozen oranges, 4 lemons, 12 pints of water, 12 pounds of sugar. Slice oranges and lemons very thin and soak them in the water for 48 hours. Boil the mixture down to one-half the quantity and add the sugar. Boil again until it jellies. Use an orange saw for slicing and a porcelain kettle for the boiling. Heat the sugar in a slow oven before adding it to the orange.
