minutes. Strain through damp cheese cloth in a seive. Gather ends and
squeeze out remaining juice. You should have 6 cups. Make up any
difference with water. Return liquid to pan. Remove all white pith
from skins. Cut skins in fine strips (or as desired) and add to pan
with sugar. Place over low heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to
boil. Boil hard, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Boil
hard til jell point is reached, between 60 and 90 minutes depending

Repeat test at 5 minute intervals til jell point is reached. Remove
pan from stove and stir for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam. Ladle
into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal as you like
