Orange Ratafia

Take six thick-skinned Seville oranges, cut off the yellow rinds as thin as possible and put them in a jar. Cut the six oranges into halves, squeeze the juice from them, strain it and add it to the peels in the jar; put in one pound of powdered sugar and stir in the orange juice till quite dissolved, then pour over it two quarts of brandy. Close the jar air-tight, let it stand for one month, strain it, put it into bottles, and cork them well.
