Peel the oranges, and put peel in water;' let boil until tender ; then with a knife scrape off the white lining, which is bitter ; then cut up peel fine. Take the oranges, divide into sections as they separate naturally. With a pair of scissors cut off the stringy edge in middle of piece, the seeds will then come out easily. Chop or cut fine, and add to peel. Then to one pint of orange, add one pound of sugarOrange Marmalade, and boil until thick enough ; it thickens a little in cooling. J.
