Covering Jellies.

There are several methods of covering jellies. Pasting paper over the top of the glass is one of the oldest. Thin sheets of cotton batting, tied over the top, make a good covering. A piece of white tissue paper cut to fit into the glass, and simply laid on top of the jelly, is all that some people use. It is stated that the jelly will not mould or shrink so much when covered in this way as when the paper is pasted over the glass.
