Lemon Jelly.
1/2 package of gelatine.
1 gill of cold water.
1 gill of lemon juice.
1 pint of boiling water.
1/2 pint of sugar.
A few strips of the thin yellow rind of a lemon.
Soak the gelatine for two hours in the cold water. Pour the pint of boiling water on the lemon rind and let it stand for two hours. At the end of that time place on the fire; and when it boils pour it over the soaked gelatine. Now add the sugar, and, placing the bowl in a pan of boiling water, stir until the liquid is clear. Strain through a coarse napkin, and, turning into a mould, set away to harden.
In hot weather be generous in the measure of gelatine.
