Oranges, Iced
INGREDIENTS.- Oranges; to every lb. of pounded loaf sugar allow the whites of 2 eggs.
Whisk the whites of the eggs well, stir in the sugar, and beat this mixture for hour. Skin the oranges, remove as much of the white pith as possible without injuring the pulp of the fruit; pass a thread through the centre of each orange, dip them into the sugar, and tie them to a stick. Place this stick across the oven, and let the oranges remain until dry, when they will have the appearance of balls of ice. They make a pretty dessert or supper dish. 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.
TIME. From to 1 hour to dry in a moderate oven.
SEASONABLE from November to May.
