ORANGE MARMALADE (a simple recipe)

2 lbs Bitter Oranges
2 Lemons
7 pints Water
8 lbs Sugar

~Wipe the fruit, cut in half, and remove the pips. Pass the fruit through the mincer. Put into a basin, cover with the water (cold), and leave for not less than twenty-four hours. Soak the pips in two teacupfuls of cold water. Next day boil the fruit along with the pips (tied in muslin) and the covering water for one hour. Add the sugar, and boil for 3/4 of an hour longer, or until it jells when teased on a cold saucer. Pot, and cover immediately.
