Cover the peel of 1 orange with cold water, heat slowly and boil until tender; then scrape out the white part and cut the yellow in thin strips with scissors. Simmer 1 1/2 cupfuls of raisins until tender, add the juice of the orange, the shredded peel, 1 quart of cranberries and enough water or orange juice to make the amount of liquid equal 1 cupful. Cover and cook ten minutes, or until the cranberries are done, then add 2 cupfuls of sugar and boil until it jellies.
Boil 3 thin-skinned oranges in 1 quart of water until the water is reduced one-half, chop the cooked oranges very fine, rejecting all seeds; chop 1 pound of seeded raisins, wash and dry 2 pounds of dried currants, chop 2 pounds of suet very fine and mix all together with 1 ounce of ground spices, 1 cupful of brandy, 1 cupful of port wine and the water the oranges were boiled in. Do not cook until the mince meat is in the pies. Bake with two crusts.
