Method. Scrub four oranges, remove the peel in quarters, and cover with cold water. Boil until soft, drain, and cut into strips one quarter of an inch long. Make a 6irup of one half cup of water to one cup of sugar, cook peel in this sirup until clear, then take up each piece with a fork and coat with fine granulated sugar by rolling it in a saucer of sugar.
