  1. Select half a dozen oranges without specks on the rind, make a hole at the stalk-end with a circular tin cutter, about half an inch in diameter, and then use a small teaspoon to remove all the pulp and loose pith from the interior.
  2. When this is effected, soak the oranges in cold water for about an hour, then introduce the spoon through the aperture, and scrape the insides smooth, and after rinsing them again in cold water, set them to drain on a cloth.
  3. Next stop up any holes that may have been made in them while scooping out the pulp, and set the oranges in some pounded rough ice contained in deep saucers.
  4. Fill three of them with bright pink-orange jelly, and the remainder with plain jelly.
  5. When the jelly has become firm, wipe the oranges with a clean cloth, cut each into four quarters, dish them up tastefully on an ornamental pastry-stand, or upon a napkin, and send to table.
