TO PRESERVE LEMON PEEL.
Take out all the inside, and lay them in salt and water for two days; then wash them well; put them in fresh water; let them boil till tender; then take them up; throw off the water; and make a syrup with half their weight of sugar; put in the peel for twenty minutes; then take them up; and when the syrup is thick, pour over the peel; put them in jars, and cover tightly. This may be used as citron.
