ORANGE FOAM (FOR TWELVE PERSONS).
To the juice of twelve oranges (the small, tart ones are best) add the juice of one lemon, the grated yellow rind of two oranges, and three cupfuls of sugar. Whip till very light the yolks of twelve eggs; then whip in the prepared juice. Whip the whites of eggs as stiff as possible (keep them well chilled while whipping) and beat in lightly, yet thoroughly, the prepared mixture. Serve in punch glasses with lady fingers. Place half of a lady finger in bottom of each glass. The amount of sugar used may vary according to the flavor of the oranges. If the foam is not stiff, then add more whites of eggs. It is difficult to give exact quantities because the flavor and juiciness of the fruit varies so. This should be prepared just before serving.
