To Prese••ve Oranges and Lemmons.

Take the fairest you can get, and lay them in water three days and three nights, to take a∣way their bitterness, then boyl them in fair water till they be tender, make as much Sy∣rup as will make them swim about the Pan, let them not boyl long, for then the skin will be tough, let them lye all night in the Syrup, that they may soak themselves therein: In the morning boyl the Syrup to a convenient thickness, then with it and the Oranges and Lemmons, fill your Galli∣pots and keep them all the year. In this manner you may preserve Citrons.
