Orange Marmalade

Mrs. Midgley.

Nine Seville oranges, three sweet oranges, four lemons cut across the grain as finely as possible; place in a deep dish with four quarts of water; let it stand thirtysix hours; boil two hours, (water as well); then add * eight pounds of crushed sugar; boil one hour longer, or until you think it will jelly; the addition of a wineglassful of spirits when nearly boiled has the effect of causing all impurities to rise to the surface, and clarifies the jelly.
