Orange Marmalade

Directions

Measure oranges and lemons together.

Add 5 times as much cold water.

During next 24 hours, boil hard for an hour.

This will reduce the quantity one-half.

Measure into 4-cup units.

Cooking in this quantity will produce better flavor.

If oranges are overly sweet, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for every cup of fruit.

Bring to boiling point.

Boil 8 minutes.

Add ¾ cup sugar for each cup of fruit.

Boil first unit rapidly until it jells -- not more than 10 minutes.

If a longer time seems to be necessary, boil the next unit for a longer time before the sugar is added.

Pour into sterilized glasses and cover with paraffin when cold.
