  1. Procure a quantity of very ripe apricots, each of which cut into four or six pieces, break the stones and blanch the kernels.
  2. Put the apricots in a preserving-pan with a small quantity of water, boil them until quite tender, when pass them through a sieve.
  3. To every pound of fruit have three quarters of a pound of sugar (in a preserving-pan) boiled to the sixth degree (No. 831).
  4. Add the apricots with their kernels, and keep stirring over the fire, until forming thin transparent sheets.
  5. Try when done as in the last, and put away in pots.
  6. The marmalade would be still more transparent if you were to peel the apricots first, but then you would lose some of their delicious flavor.
