Jam (Lemon)

Instructions

1. Take the carrots and 4 lb. of lemons (or oranges, or Seville oranges), and boil them together till nearly soft, in water enough to cover them well.
2. Pour off the water and keep it on one side.
3. Then mince all through the mincing-machine, seeds of the oranges as well.
4. Add the sugar, and four or five cups of the water in which the oranges and carrots were boiled.
5. Boil it till clear. Keep the lid on the pot at first, as it is apt to become dry.
6. Before putting in the jam, take care to oil the preserving-pot with olive oil to prevent its burning.
