Ingredients
- 1 cup of sugar
- 6 oranges
Directions
Put orange peel in a weak brine for 3 or 4 days, changing water each day. Then scrape out as much as possible of inner white skin and cut peel into narrow strips with scissors. Put strips, or straws, on stove with enough water to cover and let boil for 10 or 15 minutes, drain and repeat the process. After
draining again, return to fire with 1 cup of sugar and y2 cup of water (this quantity enough for peelings of 6 oranges). Cook down slowly until syrup is nearly absorbed by orange peel. Then remove with a silver fork and place in waxed paper, well sprinkled with sugar. Grace Gruber Cloyes.
