mould, and a gallipot may be placed in the centre to keep it hollow,
Then when the jelly is turned out various savoury preparations may
be put in the middle, and very pretty dishes will be produced.
If the jelly is to be made of Calf’s Foot Stock, proceed as follows:
— Make the stock the day before the jelly is to be made. Wash two
calf’s feet and cut each into four pieces. Put these in a stewpan with
cold water to cover them, and let them boil (this is to blanch
them). Take out the feet and wash them again in cold water. Pour
away the water they were boiled in before, rinse out the pan, and
put the pieces into it again with five pints of fresh cold water. Let
this boil, skim it occasionally (if it is not well skimmed the jelly will
not be clear), draw the pan back, and simmer the liquid gently for
five hours. When it is reduced to one quart put a hair sieve over a
basin and strain the stock. Put it aside and let it get quite cold.
JSText day skim the fat off the top with an iron spoon that has been
dipped in hot water, and dab the stock with a cloth that has been
dipped in hot water. Put it into the pan free from sediment, and
clarify it according to the method adopted for gelatine jelly, remem¬
bering that the ingredients mentioned there are intended for a pint
of liquid, and here is a quart of stock. Calf’s-foot jelly is of course
very much more nourishing than jelly made of gelatine. The moulds
for jelly should be rinsed first in hot and afterwards in cold water.
