PINEAPPLE SPONGE
From MRS. MATILDA B. CARSE, of Chicago, Lady Manager.
Soak one-half package gelatine in one-half cup water for two hours; to a pint and a half can of pineapple add one cup of sugar and one cup of water; simmer fifteen minutes; add the gelatine and allow to remain over the fire until the gelatine is all melted; pour into a tin basin and place in ice water; when thoroughly cold and beginning to thicken add the juice of one lemon and the stiffly beaten whites of four eggs; beat until it will just pour, then turn into a mould and set in a cool place to harden. Serve next day with whipped cream, sweetened with powdered sugar and flavored with a few drops of vanilla.
