THE USE OF GELATINE IN COMBINING LEFTOVERS

juice from canned fruit.
1/4 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup corn syrup, or
1/2 cup sugar
Stir until gelatine is dissolved. Add 1 cup leftover fruit. Place
in mold which has been dipped in cold water. Stir occasionally while
hardening so fruit does not settle to the bottom. Or a little gelatine
may be poured in mold and allowed to grow almost hard; then some
fruit arranged on it and more gelatine poured in. Repeat until mold is
filled; then chill, and turn out carefully.
