es, and fill them up with the above made Jelly; when cold cover them, and set them by for Use. _Note_, You must be sure in all your Boilings to clear away the Scum, otherwise you will endanger their Working: And if you find they will swim above your Jelly, you must bind them down with a Sprig of a clean Whisk. _To draw a Jelly from Pippins._ Take the fairest and firmest Pippins, pour them into fair Water, as much as will cover them; set them over a quick Fire, and boil them to Mash; then put them on a Sieve over an earthen Pan, and press out all the Jelly, which Jelly strain through a Bag, and use as directed in the Oranges before mentioned, and such others as shall be hereafter described. _To make Orange Marmalade._ Take six Oranges, grate two of the Rinds of them upon a Grater, then cut them all, and pick out the Flesh from the Skins and Seeds; put to it the grated Rind, and about half a Pint of Pippin Jelly; take the same Weight of Sugar as you have of this Meat so mingled; boil your Sugar till it blows very strong; then put in the Meat, and boil all very quick till it becomes a Jelly, which you will find by dipping the Scummer, and holding it up to drain; if it be a Jelly, it will break from the Scummer in Flakes; if not, it will run off in little Streams: When it is a good Jelly, put it into your Glasses or Pots. _Note_, If you find this Composition too sweet, you may in the boiling add more Juice of Oranges; the different Quickness they have, makes it difficult to prescribe. _To preserve Oranges with a Marmalade in them._ Pare your Oranges as before, make a round Hole in the Bottom, where the Stalk grew, the Bigness of a Shilling; take out the Meat, and put them into Salt and Water for two or three Hours; then boil them very tender, then put them into clarified Sugar, give them a boil the next Day, drain the Syrup and boil it till it becomes smooth; put in your Oranges and give them a good boil. When a little cool, drain them and fill them with a Marmalade made as before directed, putting in the round Piece you cut out; with the Syrup, some other Sugar, and Pippin Juice, make a Jelly, and fill up your Pots or Glasses. _To make a Compote of Oranges._ Cut the Rind off your Oranges into Ribs, leaving part of the Rind on; cut them into eight Quarters, throw them into boiling Water; when a Pin will easily go through the Rind, drain and put them into boiling Wat
