No. 3277 — Orange Preserve, Third Method
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3277 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Take 5 thin-skinned oranges and slice them as thinly as possible. Cut each slice into several smaller pieces and remove the seeds.
Put in a preserve pan with 2½ pounds fine sugar and 1½ glasses water. Set over medium heat at the edge of the stove and simmer very gently without stopping for exactly two hours.
The author gives a yield of at least 4 pounds preserve.
