1 1/2 pounds Seville Oranges,

4 pints water, Juice of 1 lemon, Sugar

Wash the fruit and cut in half.

Squeeze out the juice and the pips.

Cut the peel into shreds.

Tie the pips in a muslin bag and put into a bowl

with the orange and lemon juice, water and peel.

Soak for 24-48 hours covered.

Transfer to a pan and cook gently until

the peel is soft, approximately 1 1/2 hours.

Remove the bag of pips, squeezing it gently.

Take the pan from the heat,

add 1 pound sugar for every pint and stir until dissolved.

Return pan to the heat and bring to the boil.

Boil rapidly until setting point is reached.

Setting point is when a little marmalade,

spooned onto a cold plate and allowed to cool,

has a "set" surface and "wrinkles" when pushed with the finger
