AN UNUSUAL PRESERVE.
A delicious preserve can be made with grapefruit skins. It is also, of course, extremely economical, as the fruit is used in any way desired first. Take away all the inside connecting skin and on the grater rub off most of the yellow part. Cover with cold water. Every day change the water and do this until the skins lose all bitter taste. It will take a week to ten days. Then cut the skins into pieces of the size required, cover with fresh cold water, and boil until the skins are perfectly clear and transparent. Then make a syrup as follows:—Put a pound of sugar and a pint of water into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Simmer slowly for about a quarter of an hour, until it goes syrupy, skimming if necessary. Drop in the pieces of peel and simmer for a further ten minutes.
