Oranges Croquante

Ingredients

• One Dozen Oranges
• Pound of Loaf Sugar
  
• Half glass of Water
• Whipped Cream
• Glass of Maraschino

Directions

1. Peel and deseed the dozen oranges by carefully quarting them. Retain the pulp and juice.
2. Boil a pound of loaf sugar in half a glass of water until the syrup strings when it is lifted on a fork.
3. Then take it from the fire and dip each section of orange in this candy while it is hot.
4. As the pieces are dipped, arrange them in some pretty form on a dish or bowl, and fill up the hollow with whipped cream.
5. Finally, sweeten and season with a glass of maraschino.
