pieces, and crush thoroughly or grind. Do not peel. Squeeze juice of 2
medium lemons. Measure sugar, prepared fruit, and lemon juice into large
kettle, mix well, and bring to a _full rolling boil_ over hottest fire.
Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove
from fire and stir in Certo. Stir and skim for 5 minutes. Pour quickly.
