Required : A dozen Seville oranges. Four sweet oranges. Three lemons. Ten pounds of loaf sugar. Five quarts of cold water.

Well wash and wipe the oranges and lemons. Divide them into quarters and carefully remove every pip; put them in a basin with one pint of the water and let them stand for twenty-four hours. Next slice the oranges thinly, putting them in a large pan or basin with the rest of the water. Let them stand for twenty-four hours.

Put all into a preserving-pan, add the strained water from the pips, and the loaf sugar. Let the sugar dissolve, then boil all carefully until some of it will set in a jelly when it is allowed to get cold on a plate. It will probably take two hours steady boiling or even longer.
