LEMON MARMALADE

Wipe the lemons and the oranges carefully. Pare the skin very thinly from the lemons and the oranges, and cut them up into slender chips. Put the chips on to boil in a saucepan, with three cupfuls of the water, allow to cook for forty minutes. Now take all the white part from the lemons and the oranges and cut up all the pulp roughly; put this into a large casserole or earthenware dish with the remainder of the water to cook slowly for one and a quarter hours. Stir it frequently; then strain it through a hot jelly bag without pressure. Add the chips and the liquid to the strained juice. Now measure this liquid, and for each cupful allow one pound of sugar. Return to the casserole, and boil slowly for half an hour.

Put into jars and seal for use.
