WASHINGTON CITRON-MELON SWEETMEATS.
Pare the melons; cut them in shape to taste; put them in a pre-serving kettle, and cover them with cold water; throw in a little pounded alum; let them boil till perfectly tender, and of a beautiful green; take them out to drain; prepare the syrup by clarifying a pound of sugar to a pound of melon; when quite cold put them in jars and pour the boiling syrup over them; seal them up and set them in a cool place. — Mrs. L. P. Hayward.
ORANGE PYRAMID
Cut the peel in six or eight equal parts, making the incisions from the stem downward; peel each piece down a little more than half way, and turn each one sharply to the right, leaving the peeled orange apparently in a cup, from which it is removed without much difficulty; pile the oranges so prepared in a pyramid on a high fruit dish. — Belle Goldthwait.
