To prepare fruit gelatine the acid and super-acid fruits are best, and
=no more sugar= should be used than is necessary. Gelatine preparations
must be kept on ice, or in a very cold place, and not be prepared
in large quantities, as they easily putrefy. For the sick and for
children, it should not stand longer than twenty-four hours, and it
should not be kept in metallic dishes. The best time to serve gelatine
is for the evening meal. It may be served with sterilized cream, and
zwieback or wafers.
Prepare some gelatine according to directions on package. Add to it
juice from preserved apples, cherries, raspberries, strawberries or
currants.
GELATINE PUDDING MADE WITH SOUR MILK.
Prepare some white gelatine with two cups of water. Take twice the
amount of gelatine directed and add one-half cup of sugar. Remove from
the fire, cool slightly, then add two cups of sour milk which has been
beaten, and mix all well. Flavor and set in a cool place. Serve with
sweet cream and zwieback.
WHIPPED SOUR MILK.
Beat one quart of thick, sour milk with an egg beater for 10 minutes.
Serve with zwieback in soup plates. Three-fifths tablespoonful of
powdered sugar and a little cinnamon may be added, if it is agreeable.
Whipped sour cream may be prepared the same as sour milk.
WHIPPED SWEET CREAM.
Whip one quart of sweet, thick cream with two-fifths of a tablespoonful
of powdered sugar, add a little vanilla, if desired. Serve with fruit
gelatines or ground white figs, stewed prunes, baked apples or raw
fruits, such as peaches, strawberries, raspberries or bananas.
BANANA GELATINE.
Prepare some gelatine with orange, cranberry or lemon juice. When
nearly cold, cut up some bananas and mix with the gelatine. Flavor and
set on ice, serve with whipped or sterilized cream.
PINEAPPLE GELATINE.
Prepare some gelatine with lemon or orange juice. When nearly cold, add
some fresh or canned pineapple. Serve with whipped or sterilized cream,
and zwieback.
BEER GELATINE.
Prepare with rye beer in the same way as the fruit juice. Take one pint
of beer to one pint of water. Use the imported root beer.
BLANC MANGE
Prepare some gelatine with milk, sugar and a little salt. Remove from
the fire, set on ice, and mix with boiled custard when cool. Flavor
with vanilla or bitter almond.
CALVES’ FOOT JELLY.
Wash a calf’s foot several times in hot and cold water. Bring to a boil
and pour off the first water. Bring to a boil again, add some salt, and
cook from two to three hours. Strain through a cheese-cloth. The next
day remove the fat, bring to a boil again, add one to two cups of wine,
the juice and rind of several lemons or oranges, and sufficient sugar
to counteract the sour taste. Pour into a dish which has been oiled,
and set on ice. It may be served with whipped cream or the beaten
whites of eggs, and shredded wheat or zwieback.
