Peel one pineapple and four oranges; cut the first in small slices and separate the oranges into pieces, putting all in a punch bowl. Then boil in a quart of water two sticks of cinnamon and a stick of vanilla cut in small pieces; strain the water through the sieve into the bowl, and then rub the rind of a lemon on one and one-half pounds of lump sugar, put the sugar in the water, and squeeze over the juice of three lemons.
