If made now, when oranges and lemons are plentiful, it may be had at a cost of from five to six cents for a large glass.

The recipe calls for one dozen oranges (sweet or part bitter), one half-dozen lemons, and ten pounds of granulated sugar.

Wash the fruit in tepid water thoroughly, and scrub the skins with a soft brush to get rid of the possible microbes that it is said may lurk on the skins of fruit.

Dry the fruit; take a very sharp knife, and on a hard-wood board slice it very thin.

Throw away the thick pieces that come off from the ends.
