¾ cup (⅜ lb.) juice
1¾ cups water
4 cups (1¾ lbs.) sugar
Green coloring
½ bottle Certo
To prepare juice, grate rind from 5 limes and squeeze juice from 8 to
10. Add juice to grated rinds and let stand 10 minutes. Press juice
through small cloth. Measure sugar, juice, and water into large saucepan
and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire. While mixture is coming to a
boil, add coloring to give desired shade. Use coloring which fruit acids
do not fade. As soon as mixture boils, add Certo, stirring constantly.
Then bring to a _full rolling boil_ and boil hard for ½ minute. Remove
from fire, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 6 glasses
(6 fluid ounces each).
