ose of home manufacture are the only ones to be
relied on for thoroughly clearing the jelly. Care should be
taken that the seam of the bag be stitched twice, to secure it
against unequal filtration. The most convenient mode of using
the big is to tie it upon a hoop the exact size of the outside
of its mouth; and, to do this, strings should be sewn round it
at equal distances. The jelly-bag may, of coarse, be made any
size; but one of twelve or fourteen inches deep, and seven or
eight across the mouth, will be sufficient for ordinary use. The
form of a jelly-bag is the fool's cap.

COW-HEEL STOCK FOR JELLIES.

(More Economical than Calf's Feet.)

1412. INGREDIENTS.--2 cow-heels, 3 quarts of water.

_Mode_.--Procure 2 heels that have only been scalded, and not boiled;
split them in two, and remove the fat between the claws; wash them well
in warm water, and put them into a saucepan with the above proportion of
cold water; bring it gradually to boil, remove all the scum as it rises,
and simmer the heels gently from 7 to 8 hours, or until the liquor is
reduced one-half; then strain it into a basin, measuring the quantity,
and put it in a cool place. Clarify it in the same manner as calf's-feet
stock No. 1411, using, with the other ingredients, about 1/2 oz. of
isinglass to each quart. This stock should be made the day before it is
required for use. Two dozen shank-bones of mutton, boiled for 6 or 7
hours, yield a quart of strong firm stock. They should be put on in 2
quarts of water, which should be reduced one-half. Make this also the
day before it is required.

_Time_.--7 to 8 hours to boil the cow-heels, 6 to 7 hours to boil the
shank-bones.

_Average cost_, from 4d. to 6d. each.

_Sufficient_.--2 cow-heels should make 3 pints of stock.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

ISINGLASS OR GELATINE JELLY.

(_Substitutes for Calf's Feet_.)

1413. INGREDIENTS.--3 oz. of isinglass or gelatine, 2 quarts of water.

_Mode_.--Put the isinglass or gelatine into a saucepan with the above
proportion of cold water; bring it quickly to boil, and let it boil very
fast, until the liquor is reduced one-half. Carefully remove the scum as
it rises, then strain it through a jelly-bag, and it will be ready for
use. If not required very clear, it may be merely strained through a
fine sieve, instead of being run through a bag. Rather more than 1/2 oz.
of isinglass is about the proper quantity to use fo
