Cup Custard.
Fill small glasses nearly to the top with cold custard.
Whip the whites of three eggs stiff.
Beat in three teaspoonfuls of bright-colored jelly-currant, if you have it.
Heap a tablespoon of this méringue on the surface of each glassful.
Set in a cold place until it goes to table.
Floating Island.
Fill a glass bowl almost to the top with cold boiled custard and cover with a méringue made as in last receipt. Do not whip in the jelly so thoroughly as to color the frothed whites.
It is a prettier dish when the bright red specks just dot the snowy mass.
