2 lb. bitter oranges
2 lemons
7 pt. cold water
8 lb. sugar

Wipe the fruit, cut in half and remove the pips. Pass the fruit through the mincer. Put into a basin, cover with the cold water and leave for not less than 24 hours. Soak the pips in 2 teacupfuls of cold water.

Next day, boil the fruit along with the pips (tied in muslin) and the covering water for 1 hour. Add the sugar and boil for 3/4 hour longer or until it gels when tested on a cold saucer. Jar and cover immediately.
