GRAPE FRUIT MARMALADE (BITTER).
Four grape fruits scrubbed severely. Cut in halves, remove seeds, squeeze out juice, saving juice and seeds in separate earthen dishes, covering the seeds with water. The thick skins must be put through the meat grinder, then put into a large vessel and three quarts of water added to each fruit. Let all stand twenty-four hours. Strain out the ground skins and throw away the water. Put skins into fresh water, one quart to each fruit, and boil until soft like mush, then pour over it the juice saved from yesterday and the water in which the seeds were soaked. Add one and one-half pounds granulated sugar for each large fruit. Use wide shallow dish for boiling down. Stir constantly and boil till skins are transparent and it is showing a jelly sign. Never at- tempt more than four fruits at one time.
