Orange Granite Ice

Remove the peels from six or eight oranges, cut them up into quarters, and take out the inner pith and pips. Place them in a basin, and pour over three pints of syrup at 20 degrees, let them remain for two hours, remove and place them on a strainer to drain. Pass the syrup through a sieve into the freezer, and when frozen to icicles add the drained quarters of oranges and cover. Let it remain twenty minutes longer, then serve in glasses or cups.
