Cut 18 fine peaches, or a sufficient number of canned ones, into small pieces, and boil with 1/2 pound of sugar. When reduced to a marmalade press through a coarse sieve, then add 1/2 package dissolved gelatine, and a tumbler of cream. Stir this well to make it smooth, and when about set, add 1 pint of whipped cream, and pour into a mold. It makes a still prettier dish to serve half or quarter of peaches, half frozen, around the cream.
Charlotte Russe.
1 pint cream, whipped light, 1/2 ounce gelatine dissolved in 1 gill of hot milk, whites of 2 eggs beaten to a stiff froth, 1 small teacup of powdered sugar. Flavor with vanilla or little almond. Mix together the cream, eggs, sugar and flavoring, and beat in the gelatine and milk when quite cold. Line a mold with slices of sponge cake or lady fingers, and fill with the mixture. Set upon the ice to cool.
Champagne Jelly.
1 box gelatine, 1 pint boiling water, 1/2 pint cold water, 1/2 pint sherry, 1 lemon, 1 lime, 3/4 pound sugar, 1 teaspoon essence cinnamon. Soak gelatine in cold water, add hot water, sugar, wine, lemon and lime, and boil five minutes. Add 1 pint champagne and strain twice.
Coffee Jelly.
1/2 box gelatine soaked in cold coffee. When well dissolved, pour in a pint of boiling coffee, sweeten to taste, and set aside to cool. When quite cold and almost jellied, beat up till it becomes a light foam. Pour into mold and place on ice. Serve with whipped cream.
