Watermelon or Muskmelon Marmalade

Weigh twelve pounds rind, previously soaked in brine, and the salt extracted by fresh water, parboil, put on with twelve pounds sugar made into a thin syrup, and boil to pieces. Add the peelings of twelve oranges and twelve lemons, previously soaked in water, cut in strips and boiled extremely soft, the water being changed three times while boiling. Stir constantly fromthe bottom with a batter-cake turner. Cook very thick. Put in wide-mouthed glass jars--Mrs. S. T.
