ORANGES, MOULDED (a pretty supper dish)

This dish, though very pretty, is rather difficult to prepare. Peel three or four large oranges, and divide them into sections, being careful not to break the thin skin which separates them. Oil a small plain mould thoroughly. Boil a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar in three table-spoonfuls of water to crackling height, dip the edges of the orange-sections into this, arrange them in layers round the sides only of the mould, and fasten them together with the sugar. When they are firm, turn them on a dish, and fill the centre with whipped cream. Time, ten or twelve minutes to boil the sugar. Probable cost, exclusive of the cream, 6d. Sufficient for a small mould.
