RECIPE

 

 
44. Orange.

  Peel two Seville oranges as thinly as possible, taking
off the yellow peel only, which cut in thin shreds about
an inch long, and blanch in boiling water till tender ; drain
them, and put them into a stew-pan with two or three
tablespoonfuls of Spanish sauce (No. 64), a little brown
broth (p. 77), and a little sugar; let the whole simmer
gently at the corner of the stove ten minutes ; skim it,
and serve it with the addition of a little lemon-juice, the
juice of half an orange, a little glaze, and cayenne. This
sauce must be kept rather thin.
