Orange Marmalade

1 dozen oranges 1/2 dozen lemons Sugar and water Select fruit that is firm and not too ripe. Omit the lemons if preferred. With a sharp knife slice the fruit very thin, throwing away the ends and removing the seeds. Weigh, and to each pound of fruit add two pints of cold water. Let this stand over night; then boil the fruit in the same water until it is tender. Remove from the fire; weigh again; and to each pound of fruit and liquid add one pound of sugar. Boil until the fruit is transparent and the juice a rich syrup.
