MRS. GAUDET.
Two tablespoons of coffee, one package of gelatine, one glass of sherry boiled down to one pint.
ICED APPLES WITH CREAM.
MRS. W. W. WELCH.
Pare and core six apples; cook them in a syrup made of one cup of sugar, and two of water; drop the apples into the boiling syrup; when they are tender put them on a platter, when cool cover with a thin layer of meringue and brown. Let the syrup boil until reduced to one half cupful, when cold, will form a jelly, cut into squares and place over and around the apples. Serve cold with sugar and cream.
FRUIT JELLY.
MISS FRY.
To one large box of gelatine add one half pint cold water. When dissolved add juice of three lemons, two cups sugar, one pint of boiling water. Arrange in layers in a mould. Four bananas and two or more oranges (sliced) six castane nuts chopped fine, six figs, one quarter lb. dates cut into small pieces. Strain jelly over this and cool. Serve with whipped cream. A lining of ladies fingers is an improvement.
