Damsons
Are put up in the same manner as plums, but pricked instead of skinned.
Preserved Orange Peel. (Very nice.) ✠
Weigh the oranges whole, and allow pound for pound. Peel the oranges neatly and cut the rind into narrow shreds. Boil until tender, changing the water twice, and replenishing with hot from the kettle. Squeeze the strained juice of the oranges over the sugar; let this heat to a boil; put in the shreds and boil twenty minutes.
Lemon peel can be preserved in the same way, allowing more sugar.
