2 lb Sour oranges (about 6 med.
-sized)
2 qt Water
3 lb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
From: Arizona Cookbook
Remove the peel from two oranges. Slice this peel very
thin and cover with water. Boil until tender, adding
additional water as it boils away. (Change the water
often if the flavor becomes too bitter.)
Peel the remaining oranges (the peel may be stored in
freezer for later grating uses). Boil the pulp in 2
qts. water until very soft. Strain through a bag with
pressure. Re-strain without pressure. Mix this juice
with the drained peel, the sugar, and the salt and
boil until the jelly stage is reached. Let stand until
slightly cool. Stir and pour into hot sterilized jars
and seal with paraffin.
