Add a pint cold water to one box Cox's gelatine. Let it stand fifteen
minutes, then add three pints boiling water, one pint wine, the
strained juice and peelings (cut thin) of three lemons, half a teacup
of best vinegar, one and a half pounds loaf sugar, one wine-glass
French brandy, mace or any other spice you like, and a little essence
of lemon. Let it stand an hour, then take out the lemon peel and mace.
Let it stand in a cool place to congeal.--_Mrs. Dr. J._
JELLY WITHOUT EGGS OR BOILING.
Dissolve one package gelatine, an hour, in a pint of cold water. Then
add three pints of boiling water, the strained juice of four lemons
and the rind of two, one quart of wine, two pounds of sugar. Stir all
well together until dissolved.--_Mrs. E. B._
_Jelly without Boiling._
To one of the shilling packages of Cox's gelatine, add one pint cold
water. After letting it stand an hour, add one and a half pounds of
loaf sugar, the juice of four lemons, one pint light wine, three pints
boiling water, and cinnamon to the taste. In cold weather this is
ready for use in four or five hours. Set the vessel with the jelly on
ice, in summer.--_Miss D. D._
CREAM JELLY.
Two measures of stock, one of cream; sweeten and flavor to the taste.
Pour in moulds to congeal.
BLANC-MANGE.
Dissolve over a fire an ounce of isinglass in a gill of water. Pour
the melted isinglass in a quart of cream (or mixed cream and milk),
and half a pound of loaf sugar. Put in a porcelain kettle, and boil
fast for half an hour. Strain it, and add a quarter of pound of
almonds, blanched, and shaved fine. Season to the taste with vanilla
and wine, but do not add the wine while hot. Pour into moulds.--_Mrs.
C. C._
_Blanc-mange._
Pour two tablespoonfuls cold water on one ounce gelatine to soften it.
Boil three pints rich cream. Stir the gelatine into it whilst on the
fire, and sweeten to the taste. When it cools, season with three
tablespoonfuls peach water. Four ounces almonds, blanched and pounded
very fine and boiled with the blanc-mange, are a great improvement.
When it begins to thicken, pour into moulds. Serve with plain
cream.--_Mrs. J. H. T._
_Blanc-mange._
Sweeten a pint of cream and flavor it with lemon juice. Then whip it
over ice, till a stiff froth. Add one-quarter of an ounce gelatine,
dissolved in a little boiling water, and whip it well again to keep
the gelatine from settling at the bottom. Pour in a mould, and set on
ice till stiff enough to turn out. Eat with cream, plain or seasoned.
A delicious dish.--_Mrs. G. D. L._
_Blanc-mange._ (_Very fine._)
Dissolve one box gelatine in two quarts milk, let stand for two hours.
Boil six almonds in the milk. Strain through a sifter while this is
being boiled. Pound together in a mortar, two handfuls blanched
almonds and half a cupful granulated sugar. Stir into the boiled milk.
Add one tablespoonful vanilla, and sweeten to your taste.--_Mrs. W.
S._
