To Make Orange-paste Recipe
Rasp the Oranges, and you may make the Outside for Knots; then cut
the Oranges, and pick out all the Meat, and all the Stones from the
Meat; boil the white Rinds very tender, drain them well, and beat
them fine; to a Pint and half of the Meat put a Pound of the beaten
Rind; mix it well, make it scalding hot; then put in three Pound of
fine Sugar sifted thro' an Hair Sieve; stir it well in, and scald it
'till the Sugar is well melted; then put in the Juice of three large
Lemmons: Put the Paste in flat Earthen Pans, or deep Plates; set it
in the Stove 'till it is candy'd; then drop it on Glasses: Let what
is too thin to drop stand 'till 'tis candy'd again: Once turning
will dry it. Sevil Oranges make the best.
