Method

  1. Just a word about a sweet salad, and this screed is ended.
  2. Oranges.
  3. It shall be of oranges--big, luscious, juicy, seedless oranges, that are at their height for the next two months or more.
  4. These you slice, after peeling, as you would an apple.
  5. Put a layer of them in a bowl, sprinkle with powdered sugar and a few drops of orange curaçoa.
  6. Then another layer of oranges, another of sugar, another fall of curaçoa, and so on till the dish is full.
  7. Then, if there are half a dozen oranges used, pour over them about half a gill of brandy, either the plain brandy or apricot brandy.
  8. The latter, I find, is possessed of a mysterious flavor that, when added to an orange salad, just sets people to wondering why it is they have to go away from home to find such delights.
