Orange Snow-Balls

Throw half a pound of best Carolina rice loose into a saucepan of boiling water, and boil it quickly for five minutes. Peel four sweet oranges, and carefully remove the thick white skin without injuring the fruit. Drain the rice, and when it is cool spread it out in four equal parts on four small pudding cloths. Place one of the pared oranges on each of these, gather the cloth carefully round it, and tie it securely. Plunge the dumplings into boiling water, and let them remain on the fire until done enough. Turn them out carefully, sprinkle powdered sugar over them, and send orange sauce to table with them. Time to boil, one hour and a half. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for four persons.
