ORANGE MARMALADE. Mrs. L. M. Alliot, 1720 West Eighth street, Los An- geles, Cal. — To six oranges allow equal their weight of sugar, Grate the yellow rind from one of the oranges; cut another, peel and all, into thin chips. Cut the five whole ones In two at the equator, and scoop out the pulp with a spoon; drain off all the juice possible, and put it with the sugar to boll, adding the juice of half a lemon. Let boil slowly for twenty minutes, without stirring, then add the grated rind, chips, and orange pulp, and boil slowly for half an hour, stirring fre- quently to prevent sticking or scorching. This should make about four large jelly glasses of marmalade. I find it better to make a small quantity at a time, as it is easier to handle properly. NO. 65. ORANGE MARMALADE. Mrs. H. B. Gurley, 433 West Twenty-eighth street. Los Angeles, Cal.— Take seven or eight oranges, one pomelo, two lemons. In the evening quarter the fruit, remove pips and slice as thin as possible. To each pound sliced fruit add one quart cold water. Let stand twenty-four hours. Then boil until slices are tender (about forty-five minutes.) Following morning weigh the boiled pulp and for every pound add one pound of sugar. Boil forty-five minutes, removing scum. Try small amount on cold plate and if it jellies, it is done. Properly made will form a firm jelly. Malta Blood oranges produce best results. Month of March is best time. NO. 66. ORANGE MARMALADE. Mrs. J. T. Crampton, 2528 Pennsylvania avenue, Los Angeles, Cal. — Take ten oranges and two lem- ons; cut them in halves; take out the juice and pulps, and -Melt out the seeds. Boil the rinds in as much water as will cover them, till tender. When cold, shred the peeling fine, then add the juice, pulps, and one pint of water. Weigh all these ingredients, and add one pound of white sugar to each pound of same, and boil till transparent. If you prefer it more bitter, some of the seeds may be boiled with it, in a little sack, and then taken out. NO. 67. ORANGE MARMALADE. Mrs. Helen M. Magee, No. 122 North Johston street, Los Angeles, Cal.— Wash and wipe the or- anges; peel, and put the peelings in a kettle with a quart of water; boil two hours. Cut the oranges and squeeze the juice and pulp into a dish; drain the water from the peel, and pound it fine; put with the juice; add one pound of sugar for every pint of juice; boil one hour, when it should be thick and solid. Seal in jelly glasses, -cover with paper. Pare the orange rind very thin; avoid the inner white unless you want bitter marmalade. NO. 68. ORANGE MARMALADE. (Made in one day.) M. A. Hickson, Eagle Rock, R. F. D., Los Angeles, Cal.— Take forty large ripe oranges, two grapefruit, six lemons, ten pounds granulated sugar, one teaspoon salt. Peel very thin so as to remove only the yel- low skin, thirty oranges and one grapefruit. 82 COOKING AND OTHER RECIPES. Cover peel with cold water, with one teaspoon of salt added and boil until tender. Peel re- maining ten oranges and carefully remove the white part of skin from all forty. Peel six lemons the same; also one grapefruit. Cut all in thin slices. When the rind is tender rinse in cold water and drain. Shred very fine and add to sliced fruit; add sugar and boil two hours. Skim thoroughly. NO. 69. ORANGE MARMALADE. Mrs. E. M. Warren, 1535 Newton street, Los Angeles. Slice six oranges and three lemons in quar- ters, then cut opposite way very thin, re- jecting the ends. Add same amount of water as you have sliced fruit and boil until the skins are soft. Remove from fire and add one and one-half times as much sugar as you have fruit, then cook until it jells. This is very fine and can be made in about three hours. NO. 70. ORANGE MARMALADE. M. L. H., Redlands, Cal. Allow pound for pound of fruit and sugar. Pare the thin yellow part of the peel from half of the oranges, and cut the yellow rind into shreds; boil this in three waters and set it aside. Grate the yellow rind off of the rest of the oranges, throwing away every bit of the thick white inner skin. Quarter all the oranges and take out the seeds, if any. Chop or cut fruit into small pieces; drain all the juice that will come away without pressing, over the sugar; heat this, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, add- ing a little water, unless the oranges are quite jucy. Boil and skim five or six minutes; put in the boiled shreds and cook half an hour, stirring enough to keep from burning; when cold put in small jars and press bran- died tissue paper down over them, then seal.
