To Make Caramel Recipe

Take China Oranges, peel and split them into Quarters, but don't

break the Skin; lay the Quarters before a Fire, turning them 'till

the Skin is very dry; then take Half a Pound of Sugar sifted thro'

an Hair Sieve, put it in a Brass or Silver Pan, and set it over a

very slow Fire, keeping it stirring 'till all is melted, and looks

pretty clear; then take it off the Fire, and put in your

Orange-Quarters, one at a Time; take them out again as fast as you

can with a little Spoon, and lay them on a Dish, that shou'd be

butter'd, or they will not come off: The Sugar will keep hot enough

to do any Plate full. You may do roasted Chessnuts, or any Fruit in

the Summer, first laying the Fruit before a Fire, or in a Stove, to

make the Skin tough; for if any Wet come out, the Sugar will not

stick to it: It must be done just when you use it, for it will not

keep.
