Preaervtd Orange Peel—Cut the orange l-cel Into thin, small stripe*, and throw them Into a moderately strong brine. lj>t them stand for ten days, stirring thor oughly -from the bottom of every morn ing. At the end of that time wash thor oughly In told water, and then soak In fresh water for ti-r-e -lay* longer, taking care that the water Is - hanged once every twenty-four hours.

Remove then from the lire- and add white braqdy In the proportion of on pint to four pounds of the orange peel. Pack away In Jars, and let stand for two week* before using. An eeonomiea! meth od of securing the peel Is to gather It bit by bit form the fruit that I* used for oth er purposes, and then throw It Into the brine until needed.
