Iced Oranges

Ingredients

• Oranges
• to every lb. of pounded loaf sugar
• the whites of 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Whisk the whites of the eggs well, stir in the sugar, and beat this mixture for 1/4 hour.
2. Skin the oranges, remove as much of the white pith as possible without injuring the pulp of the fruit;
3. pass a thread through the centre of each orange, dip them into the sugar, and tie them to a stick.
4. Place this stick across the oven, and let the oranges remain until dry, when they will have the appearance of balls of ice.
5. They make a pretty dessert or supper dish.
6. Care must be taken not to have the oven too fierce, or the oranges would scorch and acquire a brown colour, which would entirely spoil their appearance.
