Orange Chips

Take the rinds of some large oranges. Cut into quarters, and weigh them. Boil them in water until they are so tender that they can be easily pierced with a fork, drain them well, and spread them in the sun or before the fire to dry. Take one pound and a half of sugar to two pounds of orange rind. Clarify the sugar, pour it upon the rind, and leave it for twenty-four hours. Strain of the syrup, boil it until it is thick, and pour it boiling over the orange-rind. Leave it for two days, then boil it again, and repeat this until the sugar is all used. Put the chips on a sieve in the sun, and leave them until they are dry. Time, a week or more. Probable cost, oranges, 1d. each.
