Directions
Take some oranges, and boil them till tender in three or four waters, then take out the pips and the pulp, pound the rinds to a paste, and add your pulp when pounding ; rub this through a tammy. To a pound of pulp put a pound and a half of sugar sifted; take the pulp and half the sugar and boil together till it will pull out in strings ; take it off the fire, and when it is cold, mix the rest of the sugar with the paste,
and roll the cakes out as thin as paper. You most only make a little at a time, as it dries very fast. Cut them round, and let them dry. Ton must use Seville oranges.

enough for a small family. I think a little cold roasted beef or tongue chopped fine after being boiled is a great improvement^ and a little more sugar^ as it is hardly sweet enough for general taste. This is an excellent receipt. Make your pies with a nice light puff paste^ coyer them with the same. Serve very hot.
