lved in a pint of brandy or vinegar will
give you an excellent currant or raspberry brandy or vinegar.

_Obs._ Jellies from the fruits are made in the same way, and cannot be
preserved in perfection without plenty of good sugar. The best way is
the cheapest.

APPLE JELLY.

The board was spread with fruits and wine;
With grapes of gold, like those that shine
On Caslin's hills; pomegranates, full
Of melting sweetness, and the pears
And sunniest _apples_ that Cabul
In all its thousand gardens bears.
MOORE.

Pare and mince three dozen juicy, acid apples; put them into a pan;
cover them with water, and boil them till very soft; strain them through
a thin cloth or flannel bag; allow a pound of loaf sugar to a pint of
juice, with the grated peel and juice of six lemons. Boil it for twenty
minutes; take off the scum as it rises.

CHERRY JELLY.

With rich conserve of _Visna cherries_,
Of orange flower, and of those berries

MOORE.

Take the stones and stalks from two pounds of clear, fine, ripe
cherries; mix them with a quarter of a pound of red currants, from which
the seeds have been extracted; express the juice from these fruits;
filter, and mix it with three quarters of a pound of clarified sugar,
and one ounce of isinglass. Replace the vessel on the fire with the
juice, and add to it a pound and a half of sugar, boiled _a conserve_.
Boil together a few times, and then pour the conserve into cases.

CALVES' FEET JELLY.

Nature hates vacuums, as you know,

And fill, with dainties nice and light,
The vacuum in your appetite.
Besides, good wine and dainty fare
Are sometimes known to lighten care;
Nay, man is often brisk or dull,
As the keen stomach's void or full.

To four feet add four quarts of water; let them boil on a slow fire till
the flesh is parted from the bones, and the quantity reduced to half;
strain it carefully, and the next morning remove the feet and sediment.
Add the rind of two lemons, the juice of five lemons, one and a half
pounds of white sugar, a stick of cinnamon, a little nutmeg, a pint of
sherry wine, half a teacupful of brandy; beat the white of ten eggs to a
froth, and put them into the pan with their shells; let it boil ten
minutes, when throw in a teacupful of cold water. Strain it through a
flannel bag, first dipped into
