Candied Oranges

Take seven good-sized oranges, peel carefully, divide into quarters and set aside. Boil together thre cupfuls of sugar and one of water to a syrup; add the juice of one lemon when sufficiently cooked; then take up each section of orange separately with a fine knitting needle and dip into the syrup; set aside on a large dish to cool and harden. Should the syrup get cold before all are done, it may be set over the fire again for a few moments.
