Instructions

  1. Choose some fine Seville oranges;
  2. put them whole into a stewpan with sufficient water to cover them, and stew them until they become perfectly tender, changing the water 2 or 3 times;
  3. drain them, take off the rind, remove the pips from the pulp, weigh it, and to every lb. allow 1-1/2 of loaf sugar and 1/2 pint of the water the oranges were last boiled in.
  4. Boil the sugar and water together for 10 minutes;
  5. put in the pulp, boil for another 10 minutes;
  6. then add the peel cut into strips, and boil the marmalade for another 10 minutes, which completes the process.
  7. Pour it into jars;
  8. let it cool; then cover down with bladders, or tissue-paper brushed over on both sides with the white of an egg.
