Make a plain lemon jelly, as before. Cut up very thin two oranges,
one banana, six figs, and a handful of white grapes, which you
have seeded, and sweeten them. Put in a mould and pour in the jelly;
as it begins to grow firm you can gently lift the fruit from the
bottom once or twice.
You can also fill the mould quite full of fruit, and make only half
the jelly and pour over. Whipped cream is nice to eat with this.
Coffee Jelly
1/2 box of gelatine.
1/2 cup of cold water.
1 pint strong hot coffee.
3/4 cup sugar.
1/2 pint boiling water.
Put the gelatine in the cold water and soak two minutes, and
pour over it the coffee, boiling hot. When it is dissolved,
put in the sugar and boiling water and strain; put in little
individual moulds, and turn out with whipped cream under each
one. Or, set in a large mould, and have whipped cream around it.
Snow Pudding
1/2 box of gelatine.
1 pint of cold water.
3 eggs.
Juice of three lemons.
1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
Pour the water over the gelatine and let it stand ten minutes;
then put the bowl over the fire and stir till it is dissolved,
and take it off at once. As soon as it seems nearly cold, beat
to a froth with the egg-beater. Beat the whites of the eggs stiffly,
and add to the gelatine, with the lemon juice and sugar, and mix well.
Put in a mould and set on ice. Make a soft custard by the rule,
and pour around the pudding when you serve it.
Velvet Cream
1/4 box of gelatine.
1 pint milk.
2 eggs.
3 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Small teaspoonful of vanilla.
Put the gelatine in the milk and soak fifteen minutes; put
on the stove and heat till it steams, but do not let it boil;
stir carefully often, as there is danger of its burning. Beat
the yolks of the eggs with the sugar, and put these in the
custard, and cook till it all thickens and is smooth, but do
not boil it. Strain, cool, and add the vanilla, and last fold
in the beaten whites of the eggs, and put in a mould on the ice.
Preserved peaches laid around this are very nice, or rich
pineapple, or apricot jam; or a ring of whipped cream, with
bits of red jelly, make a pretty border.
Easy Charlotte Russe
1/4 box gelatine.
1/2 pint of milk.
1 pint thick cream.
1/2 cup powdered sugar.
1 small teaspoonful vanilla.
Put the gelatine in the milk and stand on the stove till the
gelatine is dissolved, stirring often. Then take it off, and beat
with the egg-beater till cold. Beat the cream with the egg-beater
till perfectly stiff, put in the sugar and vanilla, and mix with
the milk, and set on ice in a mould. When you wish to use it,
turn out and put lady-fingers split in halves all around it.
PUDDING SAUCES
Orange Sauce
3 egg-whites.
1/2 cup powdered sugar.
Juice of 2 oranges.
Grated rind.
Beat the egg-whites very stiff, add the sugar, then the grated
orange-peel, then the juice; beat up lightly and serve at once.
Delicious Maple Sauce
2 egg-yolks.
1/4 cup maple syrup.
1/2 cup whipped cream.
