DESSERT OF CANDIED ORANGES Candied oranges make an especially delicious dessert and enable you to enjoy the luscious flavour of the fruit in a novel form. Seedless oranges or large mandarins should be used and only the best fruit should be selected for candying. Here is the method, as required by " Grannie," Parnell. Remove all the peel very carefully from the fruit and quarter it. Dissolve lib. of sugar in a' pint of water in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring after the syrup reaches boiling point until a little will harden when tested in cold water. Remove pan from fire and dip quarters of orange, held on a skewer, into the syrup. Drain on a fine sieve placed over a dish so that none of the syrup will be wasted. Drain until cool, when sugar will crystallise.

M.H. and M.L. (Auckland). —A simpler recipe was required by Grannie, who wished to use the fruit immediately and not to preserve it, but your excellent contributions have been filed for future reference.
