Boil the ingredients together until thick. The rind of the orange may be
grated and cooked by itself until tender before adding to the rest of the
materials. Pour into sterilized glasses and seal.
Pineapple.--Pare and remove the eyes from pineapple, then grate. Weigh the
pulp and heat two-thirds of its weight in sugar. Cook the pineapple in an
uncovered dish for some time. Then add the juice of one lemon for each
pound of fruit. Then add the sugar and boil until thick,--about five
minutes. Pour into sterilized jelly glasses.

PICKLES.--Under this heading are classified pickles and relishes, such as
chili sauce, chow chows and catsups. Pickling is preserving in salt or
acid liquor. Pickles do not contain much nutritive value, but add much to
a meal in making it attractive. Cucumber pickles should never look as
green when pickled as the fruit on the vine; if they do it is almost
certain that some preservative has been used.
