143. _To make an_ ORANGE PIE.
Take half a dozen seville oranges, chip them very fine as you would do
for preserving, make a little hole in the top, and scope out all the
meat, as you would do an apple, you must boil them whilst they are
tender, and shift them two or three times to take off the bitter taste;
take six or eight apples, according as they are in bigness, pare and
slice them, and put to them part of the pulp of your oranges, and pick
out the strings and pippens, put to them half a pound of fine powder
sugar, so boil it up over a slow fire, as you would do for puffs, and
fill your oranges with it; they must be baked in a deep delf dish with
no paste under them; when you put them into your dish put under them
three quarters of a pound of fine powder sugar, put in as much water as
will wet your sugar, and put your oranges with the open side uppermost;
it will take about an hour and half baking in a slow oven; lie over
them a light puff-paste; when you dish it up take off the lid, and turn
the oranges in the pie, cut the lid in sippets, and set them at an
equal distance, to serve it up.

top, so serve it up.
