FRANKFORD PRESERVED
ORANGES
Mrs. Francis McCormick
Remove the outside skin as thin as possible with a sharp knife and boil the
oranges in water till they can be pierced with a straw. Make a small hole and
take out each seed with the handle of a teaspoon. Add sugar to the water-2
pounds of sugar to 1 pound of fruit-and skim before putting the oranges in. Boil
till clear.
GINGER PEARS
Mrs. Simms
Ginger pears are a delicious sweetmeat. Use hard pears. Peel, core, and cut the
fruit into very thin slices. For 8 pounds of fruit, after it has been sliced,
use the same quantity of sugar, the juice of 4 lemons, 1 pint of water, and 1/2
pound of ginger root sliced thin. Cut the lemon rinds into as long and thin
strips as possible. Place all together in a preserving kettle and boil slowly
for an hour.
