Take the thickest rind Oranges, chipped very thin, lay them in water
three or four days, shifting them twice every day, then boil them in
several waters, till you may run a straw through them, then let them lye
in a Pan of water all night, then dry them gently in a Cloth, then take
to every Pound of Oranges one Pound and an half of Sugar, and a Pint of
water, make thereof a syrup; then put in your Oranges, and boil them a
little, then set them by till the next day, and boil them again a
little, and so do for four or five days together, then boil them till
they are very clear, then drain them in a sieve, then take to every
Pound of Oranges one quarter of a Pint of water wherein sliced Pippins
have been boiled into your syrup, and to every quarter of a Pint of that
water, add a quarter of a Pound of fresh Sugar, boil it till it will
jelly, then put your Oranges into a Pot or a Glass, and put the jelly
over them; you may if you please, take all the Meat out of some of your
Oranges at one end, and fill it with preserved Pippin, and if you put in
a little Juice of Orange and Limon into your Syrup when it is almost
boiled, it will be very fine tasted.
