Orange Snow.
4 large sweet oranges, all the juice, and the grated peel of one; juice and half the grated peel of 1 lemon; 1 package of Coxe’s gelatine soaked in a cup of cold water; whites of 4 eggs, whipped stiff; 1 large cup of white sugar; 3 cups of boiling water.
Mix the juice, and peel of the fruit with the soaked gelatine, also the sugar. Leave them covered for one hour, then pour on the boiling water and stir clear. Strain through flannel, wringing hard. When quite cold, whip in the frothed whites very gradually until the mixture is a white sponge. Put into a wet mould on Saturday, and set on the ice.
