MARMALADE

2 cups finely-chopped cucumbers
4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup lime juice (or lemon, but lime's better)
2 tablespoons grated lime peel (if necessary, lemon will serve)
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin
whatever coloring you fancy: beet juice, blueberry juice

In big saucepan combine cucumbers, sugar, juice and peel. Mix well,
add coloring, boil one minute over high heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from stove, stir in pectin. Skim off foam, stir and skim 5
minutes to cool a bit.  Ladle quickly into jelly glasses and cover
with 1/8 inch hot paraffin. Makes about five jelly glasses.
