299. _Orange Syrup._

Squeeze out the juice of fresh oranges, and strain it. To a pint of the

juice, put a pound and a half of sugar--set it on a moderate fire--when

the sugar has dissolved, put in the peel of the oranges, and set the

syrup where it will boil slowly for six or eight minutes--then strain

it, till clear, through a flannel bag. The bag should not be squeezed

while the syrup is passing through it, or it will not be clear. Bottle,

cork, and seal it tight. This syrup is very nice to flavor puddings and

pies.
