Orange and Wine Jelly may be made in the same manner. 164. +Macedoine de Fruit a la Russe.+-- Prepare a Rhine Wine Jelly, set a form into cracked ice, pour in a few spoonfuls jelly and let it get hard; lay over it a layer of fruit, such as strawberries, slices of pineapple or peaches, and pour over sufficient jelly to cover the fruit; put the remaining jelly into a deep kettle, set into cracked ice and beat with an egg beater till it foams and begins to thicken; then mix with 3 or 4 different kinds of fruit, either fresh or preserved, fill into the jelly form, cover closely and let it stand 2 hours; when ready to serve dip the form in hot water, wipe it dry, remove the cover, turn the jelly onto a dish and garnish with sugared fruit. 165. +Calvesfoot Jelly.+-- Choose 4 calves' feet with the skin on (if without the skin 6 must be taken), crack and wash them well, put over the fire, cover with cold water and boil till they fall apart; strain the liquor through a fine sieve and let it stand in a cool place; next day skim off every particle of fat and remove the sediment; put the jelly over the fire and reduce it down to 2 quarts by boiling; beat up the whites of 4 eggs, add a little cold water, the juice of 2 lemons and the thin peel of one, 6 cloves and a piece of cinnamon; add this to the contents of saucepan, stirring constantly; boil for a few minutes; then move the saucepan to side of stove and let it stand for 5 minutes without boiling; then strain it through a double flannel bag; dissolve 2 cups sugar in 1 pint sherry or Madeira wine, strain through a napkin and add it to the strained jelly; rinse out the moulds with cold water, put in the jelly and set in a cool place.
