Ingredients
- 8 pounds of sugar
- 4 quarts of water
- 12 sweet oranges
- 6 bitter oranges
- 4 lemons
- one must judge of the amount of sugar
Directions
12 sweet oranges (Valencia); 6 bitter oranges (Seville); 4 lemons; 8 pounds of sugar; 4 quarts of water.
After cutting the oranges and lemons in very thin slices, cover them with the water and let the whole stand 36 hours. Then boil 3 hours; add sugar, and boil 2 hours more. Just before taking off the fire add i wine-glass of whiskey to clear. So much depends on the size and sweetness of the oranges, that one must judge of the amount of sugar. Also, too much boiling makes the marmalade dark.
