Amber Marmalade
1 orange 1 grape fruit 1 lemon
Slice very thin. Measure the fruit and add 3 times the quantity of water. Stand in an earthen dish over night and in morning boil for ten minutes. Stand another night and the second morning add pint for pint of sugar and boil steadily until it jellies.
This should make 8 or 10 glasses but the size of fruit determines the quantity. Stir as little as possible during the two hours or more of the cooking which it requires. Do not use the rind of the grape fruit.
Grape Juice
5 lbs Concord Grapes 1 quart water sugar
Boil grapes five to ten minutes. Then strain through a wire strainer and afterwards cheese cloth. To every quart of juice add 1 lb. sugar. Bottle and seal.
