Draw the jelly to the side of the fire, and let it stand to settle twenty minutes longer. Wring out the jelly-bag in hot water, and pom- the jelly through it. If it is not perfectly clear (which, however, it can scarcely fail to be, if attention has been paid to the dii-ections given), strain it two or three times until it is. Do not keep it in a metal mould — it will be likely to discolom- it. It should be kept in a cool place, and in summer will most likely require a little ice round it. If the stock bo very strong, the isinglass may be dispensed with, but it is always safer to put a little with the jelly. When all the liquid has run through the bag, an agreeable and refreshing beverage may be obtained by pom-ing a little boiling water through it. Sufficient for rather more than a quart. Probable cost, without the sherry. Is. per pint.
