  1. Take what number of Seville-oranges you think proper, cut a hole at the stalk end of each about the size of a six pence, and scoop out the pulp quite clean.
  2. Tie them separately in pieces of muslin, and lay them in spring-water for two days.
  3. Change the water twice every day, and then boil them in the muslin on a slow fire till they are quite tender.
  4. As the water wastes, put more hot water into the pan, and keep them covered.
