an oiled mould, and set the mould in ice or in a cool
place; turn it out, and garnish the dish to taste.

_Time_.--Altogether, 1/2 hour.

_Average cost_, with cream at 1s. per pint and the best isinglass, 4s.

_Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould. _Seasonable_ at any time.

OPEN JELLY WITH WHIPPED CREAM.

(_A very pretty dish_.)

1453. INGREDIENTS.--1-1/2 pint of jelly, 1/2 pint of cream, 1 glass of
sherry, sugar to taste.

[Illustration: OPEN JELLY WITH WHIPPED CREAM.]

_Mode_.--Make the above proportion of calf's-feet or isinglass jelly,
colouring and flavouring it in any way that may be preferred; soak a
mould, open in the centre, for about 1/2 hour in cold water; fill it
with the jelly, and let it remain in a cool place until perfectly set;
then turn it out on a dish; fill the centre with whipped cream,
flavoured with sherry and sweetened with pounded sugar; pile this cream
high in the centre, and serve. The jelly should be made of rather a dark
colour, to contrast nicely with the cream.

_Time_.--3/4 hour. _Average cost_, 3s. 6d.

_Sufficient_ to fill 1-1/2-pint mould. _Seasonable_ at any time.

ORANGE JELLY.

1454. INGREDIENTS.--1 pint of water, 1-1/2 to 2 oz. of isinglass, 1/2
lb. of loaf sugar, 1 Seville orange, 1 lemon, about 9 China oranges.

[Illustration: OPEN MOULD.]

_Mode_.--Put the water into a saucepan, with the isinglass, sugar, and
the rind of 1 orange, and the same of 1/2 lemon, and stir these over the
fire until the isinglass is dissolved, and remove the scum; then add to
this the juice of the Seville orange, the juice of the lemon, and
sufficient juice of China oranges to make in all 1 pint; from 8 to 10
oranges will yield the desired quantity. Stir all together over the fire
until it is just on the point of boiling; skim well; then strain the
jelly through a very fine sieve or jelly-bag, and when nearly cold, put
it into a mould previously wetted, and, when quite set, turn it out on a
dish, and garnish it to taste. To insure this jelly being clear, the
orange-and lemon-juice should be well strained, and the isinglass
clarified, before they are added to the other ingredients, and, to
heighten the colour, a few drops of prepared cochineal may be added.

_Time_.--5 minutes to boil without the juice; 1 minute after it is
added.

_Average cost_, with the best isinglass, 3s. 6d.

_Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould. _Seasonable_ from November to May.
