All From the Same Bag
Dear Aunt Daisy, The other day my husband brought home some oranges for the children. Well, it seemed such a waste to throw out the skins that I tried making them into marmalade -and was really very successful, I soaked them for 24 hours, then cut up finely and boiled till tender. I had about 4 orange skins and 2 lemon skins. When tender, I measured the cut up peel-5 breakfast cups. To this I added 8 breakfast cups water and 7 level breakfast cups sugar, and. just before taking from the fire, I added 2 teaspoons lemon essence. The first lot I made set beautifully firm, but I rather rushed the second lot, and it is a little less firm. However, it is good marmalade, and I thought this experience might help someone else in these days of shortages. The children had the oranges and mother has the marmalade-all out of the same bag!.-Mrs. F., Karehana Bay.
