Name: White Fig Marmalade
Ingredients: 3 lb Of white figs; 3 Oranges; 6 3/4 c Sugar (3 3/8 pounds); 3 Lemons

The word of the Father by whom all time was created was made flesh and born in time for us. He without whose divine permission no day completes its course, wished to have one of those days for His human birth. In the bosom of His Father He existed before all the cycles of the ages. Born of an earthly mother, He entered on the course of the years on that very day. The maker of man became man that He ruler of the stars might be nourished at the breast, that He the bread might be hungry, that He the fountain might thirst, that He the light might sleep, that He the way might be wearied in the journey, that He the truth might be accused by false witnesses, that He the judge of the living and the dead might be brought to trial by a mortal judge, that He justice itself might be condemned by the unjust, that He discipline personified might be scourged with a whip, that He the foundation might be suspended on a cross, that He courage incarnate might be weak, and He security itself might be wounded, and He life itself might die.

Makes about 9 half-pints. Wash, peel and chop the figs. Wash and chop the

with the sugar. Place on low heat and cook, uncovered, about 45 minutes,
stirring occasionally.  While this is simmering, wash, very thinly slice
and seed the lemons. Cook them in a small amount of water until tender and
drain.  About 15 minutes before the fig mixture is done, add the lemon
slices.  Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal immediately.
To seal:  Fill to within 1/2-inch head room, being sure to first wipe the
rim and threads of the jars with a hot damp cloth to remove all particles
of food, seeds or spices. While contents are hot, cover with a 1/8-inch
layer of paraffin.  When paraffin has set, add another layer of melted
paraffin, tilting and rotating the jar to seal completely.
