Apple Jelly.
12 fine pippins; 2 cups of powdered sugar; juice of 2 lemons; grated peel of one; ½ package Coxe’s gelatine soaked in 1 cup of cold water.
Pack the apples, when pared and cored, into a stoneware or glass jar with a cup of cold water; put on the top loosely to allow the escape of the steam; set in a pot of warm water, heat slowly, and boil until the apples are very soft. Have ready in a bowl the soaked gelatine, sugar, lemon-juice and grated peel. Strain and squeeze the hot apples over them; stir until the gelatine is dissolved, strain again through a flannel bag. Wet a mould and pour it in. This can be made on Saturday and kept in a cold place.
