_Marmalade_ of _Oranges_ and _Lemons._ From the same.
It is necessary to boil the Rinds of each in several Waters, till the
Bitterness is lost, and that they are reduced to a tenderness, such as you
like; then beat them in a Marble Mortar with as much of the Pulp of
Golden-Pippins, or Golden-Rennets, as you think proper. Then take their
weight of Sugar well powder'd, and a Pint of Water to every Pound of Sugar;
boil your Sugar and Water, and when you have made a Syrup, put in your
Pulp, and boil them all together till they are clear. Then put in the Juice
of Oranges and Lemons, so much as will give you the Taste you desire; then
boil it over again till it jellies, and put it into Glasses, Keep this in a
dry Place.

To make _Syrup_ of _Mulberries._ From the same.
Press out the Juice of Mulberries with your Hands, and pass it through a
Sieve; and when it has stood to settle, pour off the clear, and put to it,
its Weight of fine Sugar; put this into a Gallypot, and set that Pot into a
Kettle of hot Water, which should be kept simmering near two Hours: stir
the Syrup every now and then with a Silver Spoon, and take off what Scum
may rise at Times, upon it; when it is enough, let it stand till it is
quite cold, and then put it into clear dry Bottles with large Mouths, and
stop them close.
