Soak prunes for 12 hours in water, and then remove stones. Dissolve the
agar-agar in the water, gently warming. Boil all ingredients together
for 30 minutes, place in mould, when cold turn out and decorate with
blanched almonds.
=58.--Lemon Jelly=
1/4 oz. agar-agar, 3 ozs. sugar, juice 3 lemons, 1 quart water.
Soak agar-agar in the water for 30 minutes; add fruit-juice and sugar,
and heat gently until agar-agar is completely dissolved, pour into
moulds, turn out when cold.
This jelly can be flavoured with various fruit juices, (fresh and
canned). When the fruit itself is incorporated, it should be cut up into
small pieces and stirred in when the jelly commences to thicken. The
more fruit juice added, the less water must be used. Such fruits as
fresh strawberries, oranges, raspberries, and canned pine-apples,
peaches, apricots, etc., may be used this way.
