GELATINE, WITH FRUIT. MRS. W. H. ECKHART.
Take one ounce box of gelatine; put to soak in a pint of cold water
for an hour. Take the juice of three lemons, and one orange, with
three cups of sugar; add this to the gelatine, and pour over all three
pints of boiling water; let this boil up once, stirring all the time.
Take two molds of the same size, and pour half your jelly into each.
Stir into one mold half a cup of candied cherries, and into the other
one pound of blanched almonds. The almonds will rise to the top. Let
these molds stand on ice, or in a cool place until thoroughly
set--twenty-four hours is best. When ready to serve, loosen the
sides, and place the almond jelly on top the other, on a fruit
platter. Slice down, and serve with whipped cream.
FRUIT RECIPE FOR HOT WEATHER.
Remove the rind of two lemons, and cut the lemons in small pieces; add
two cups of sugar, one pint of boiling water, three tablespoons of
corn starch; mix with a little milk; put them all together, and boil
slowly for five minutes. Cut into small bits four oranges; put in a
deep dish, ready for the table, and sprinkle over them a little fine
sugar; pour the lemon compound over them. When cold, whip whites of
two eggs; add a very little sugar. Flavor with lemon extract. Put in
ice box to cool.
