To one and a half gallons of stock, put the whipped whites of eight
eggs. Put in six blades of mace and the rind of three lemons, 4½
pounds sugar. Let it boil ten minutes, then add three pints of Madeira
wine, juice of eight lemons, a little vinegar or sharp cider. Let it
boil only a few minutes. Strain through a dripper. If the stock is not
very nice, it may require the whites of one dozen eggs to clear
it.--_Mrs. T._
CALVES' FOOT JELLY.
One quart nice jelly stock, one pint wine, half a pound white sugar,
whites of four eggs beaten up, three spoonfuls lemon juice. Boil all
well and pass through a jelly-bag, kept hot before the fire. Try some
at first, till it drips clear, and then pour out the whole. Peel the
lemons as thin as possible and strain the jelly on the peelings.
Should you wish to turn out the jelly in moulds, put one ounce
isinglass to three pints of jelly.--_Mrs. I. H._
ISINGLASS JELLY.
Dissolve two ounces isinglass in two quarts of boiling water. When
cold, add juice of three lemons and skin of one, whites of three eggs,
well beaten, one and a half pounds of sugar, one pint cider, four
pieces cinnamon (size of the little finger), eight blades of mace. Let
it boil up well. Be careful not to stir after the ingredients are
thoroughly mixed. Let it stand ten minutes after removing from the
fire, and just before straining pour in a pint of wine.--_Mrs. W. R.
R._
CRYSTAL JELLY.
Pare off the rind of one large lemon. Boil in one pint water with one
ounce isinglass; add one pound sugar and one cup pale wine. As soon as
the isinglass is dissolved, strain through a muslin and let it stand
till cold. Grate the rind of another lemon and let it stand in the
juice of the two lemons for a short time. Strain all in a bowl, and
whisk it till it begins to stiffen. Pour in moulds.--_Mrs. E. P. G._
GELATINE JELLY.
Soak one box of Cox's gelatine, three hours, in a pint of cold water.
Then add one pint of cooking wine, the rind and juice of one lemon,
two pounds white sugar, a little mace. Stir these ingredients till the
sugar dissolves, then add two quarts of boiling water, gently stirring
till mixed. Strain at once, through a flannel bag twice. This recipe
makes the best jelly I ever saw.--_Mrs. M. M. D._
_Gelatine Jelly._
To one package of gelatine add one pint cold water, the rind of one
lemon and juice of three. Let it stand an hour. Then add three pints
of boiling water, one pint wine, two and a quarter pounds loaf sugar,
a wineglass of brandy or the best rum. Strain through a napkin and let
it stand to jelly.--_Mrs. Col. S._
