MADE-OVER JELLY
| A glass of currant jelly warmed in a saucepan till it melts. | |
| 1 | teaspoonful of granulated gelatine. |
| ½ | cup of cold water. |
| 2 | tablespoonfuls of boiling water. |
Put the gelatine into the cold water, stir it well and let it stand for ten minutes; then stir again and add the boiling water and the hot jelly; stir till it is smooth and strain through a coarse bag into two or more small glasses. Put on ice till firm.
"While the jelly is melting you get the rest of the things ready and then it takes only a moment to put them all together. Norah always has a bag because she washes out and puts away those that the table salt comes in. When you have used it don't forget to wash it out for her, will you, dear?"
"No, Mother. Mildred and I never forget to wash up and put things away ever since she said we couldn't come into the kitchen at all unless we always did that. Do you remember how cross she was?"
"I don't wonder, Brownie. Some day when you have a kitchen of your own you will be cross, too, if little girls come in and use your pots and pans and leave them all sticky and messy."
"Of course I will. It makes me feel real cross now just to think of it. I guess we'd better plan the dessert before I get worse."
"Perhaps we had," laughed Mother Blair. "Those children must have something very simple, indeed, and I really can't think of anything better for them than cornstarch pudding."
"Well," said Brownie doubtfully, "that certainly won't hurt them."
