Orange Marmalade 1
Take three or four
seville oranges, grate them, take out the meat, and boil the rinds whilst they
are tender; shift them three or four times in the boiling to take out the bitter,
and beat them very fine in a marble mortar; to the weight of your pulp take a pound
of loaf sugar, and to a pound of sugar you may add a pint of water, boil and skim
it before you put in your oranges, let it boil half an hour very quick, then
put in your meat, and to a pint take a pound and a half of sugar, let it boil
quick half an hour, stir it all the time, and when it is boiled to a jelly, put
it into pots or glasses; cover it with a paper dipped in brandy.
