Orange Dessert 2
Pare divide, and take
out the seeds from four or five sweet oranges, being careful to remove all the
white rind and shreds. Place in a deep dish and pour over them a syrup prepared
as for Apples in Jelly, using the juice of a whole lemon. Set in the ice box
over night. A very little orange peel may be grated into the syrup if liked;
and if the oranges are very sweet, less sugar will be required. If one can
afford to use orange juice in place of the water in making the syrup, the
dessert will be greatly improved.
