Take
six
fine,
fresh,
well-shaped
lemons,
cut
a
hole
just
round
the
stalk,
and
with
a
marrow-spoon
scoop
out
the
pips,
and
press
out
the
juice,
but
leave
the
pulp
in
the
lemons.
Put
them
into
a
bowl
with
two
or
three
quarts
of
spring
water,
to
steep
out
the
bitterness.
Leave
them
three
days,
changing
the
water
each
day;
or
only
two
days
if
you
wish
them
to
be
very
bitter.
Strain
the
juice
as
soon
as
squeezed
out,
boil
it
with
one
pound
of
loaf
sugar
(setting
the
jar
into
which
it
was
strained
in
a
pan
of
boiling
water
fifteen
or
twenty
minutes);
tie
it
up,
quite
hot,
with
bladder,
and
set
by
till
wanted.
Taste
the
water
the
lemons
are
lying
in
at
the
end
of
the
third
day;
if
not
bitter,
lift
the
lemons
out
into
a
china-lined
pan,
pour
the
water
through
a
strainer
upon
them,
boil
gently
one
or
two
hours;
set
by
in
a
pan.
Boil
again
next
day,
until
so
tender
that
the
head
of
a
large
needle
will
easily
pierce
the
rind.
Put
in
one
pound
of
loaf
sugar,
make
it
just
boil,
and
leave
to
cool.
Next
day
boil
the
syrup,
and
pour
it
on
the
lemons;
add
one
pound
of
sugar,
and
hot
water
to
supply
what
was
boiled
away.
Lift
out
the
lemons,
and
boil
the
syrup
and
pour
on
them
again
every
day
for
a
fortnight,
then
every
three
or
four
days,
adding
gradually
three
pounds
of
sugar.
When
the
lemons
look
clear
and
bright,
boil
the
syrup
pretty
hard,
add
the
lemon
juice
which
had
been
set
by,
just
boil,
skim;
put
the
lemons
into
jars,
pour
the
syrup
upon
them,
and
tie
up
the
jars
instantly
with
bladder.
