PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Making Curds and Butter for Pastry and Spreading
on Bread.
I, HENRY SPRING, of 11 Market Place Brigg, Lincolnshire, Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This my invention has reference to improvements in making curds and butter for
pastry and spreading on bread etc. Curds and butter of a like description have
heretofore been made of lemons, but in this my invention I propose to use principally
oranges or other fruits. The manner in which I make my improved curd or butter
is as follows:
:-
I use both bitter and sweet oranges, the outer rinds of which I grate or crumb
through an ordinary grater, rasp or other implement. I then express the juice from
the oranges and strain it from any skin or pulp, which, after being mixed is boiled
with an addition of sugar, butter and eggs beaten or whisked. Citric or tartaric acid
dissolved in water is added to slightly acidulate the compound. The compound is
then boiled until it is of the consistence of honey.
Dated this 9th day of February 1889.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Making Curds and Butter for Pastry and Spreading
on Bread.
I, HENRY SPRING, of 11 Market Place Brigg, Lincolnshire, Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This my invention has reference to improvements in making curds and butter for
pastry and spreading on bread etc.
Curds and butter of a like description have heretofore been made of lemons, but in
this my invention I use principally oranges or other fruits, substantially in the
manner and in the proportions hereinafter set forth.
In this my invention I employ both sweet and bitter oranges, for example, fifty
sweet, and seventy-five bitter oranges, from which the juice is pressed, and the rinds
thereof are rasped or granulated.
To the juice (which has been previously strained) is added sufficient water to make
up to four gallons (if required). To this is added four pounds of citric or tartaric
acid.
Two hundred and fifty fresh eggs are then broken, whisked up, and together with
twenty pounds of fresh butter, and fifty pounds of fine white sugar, the whole
compound is boiled until the consistence of honey is reached :-stirring in meanwhile
one half pint of oil of sweet orange rind.
The compound thus prepared is then drawn off, and run into jars etc. ready
for use.
The aforedescribed process is substantially the same when other fruits are employed
instead of oranges, as will be readily understood.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I doclare that what I claim is :—
Curds and butter manufactured of oranges and fruit other than lemons, substantially
in the manner, in the proportions, and for the purposes herein beforo sot forth.
Dated this 9th day of August 1889.
