frequently, and then strain through a napkin. Let this
cool, but not congeal.
When the Maraschino jelly is firm, add this wine
jelly, and let the mould stand until it hardens. Mean-
while pour three gills of boiling water on the pink
isinglass. Add the remainder of the other materials
and treat the same as the other jellies. When this
preparation is cold, but not congealed, fill up the mould
with it. Let this stand for several hours. Serve with
a border of whipped cream. The jelly must be served
on a large dish, and the whipped cream should be heaped
about the jelly without touching it.
* Coffee Jelly.
For a three-pint mould of jelly use half a cupful of
coffee, ground fine, three pints of water, one pint of
sugar, and one package of gelatine✪ Combination Jelly.
Soak the gelatine in half a pint of cold water for two
hours. Put the coffee in a small biggin or in a pointed
flannel bag; hanging the latter, in case it be used, in an
ordinary coffee-pot. Pour half a gill of boiling water on
the coffee ; then cover the pot and let it stand for five
minutes. At the end of that time add another half-gill
of boiling water, and let the pot stand for five minutes
longer. Now add boiling water, a gill at a time, until a
pint has been used. When all the water has passed
through, pour half a pint of the filtered coffee into the
measure, and pour this on the coffee. The biggin should
stand in a pan of boiling water to keep the coffee hot
while it is being made.
Now pour a pint and a half of boiling water on the
soaked gelatine. Add the sugar, and next the filtered
coffee. Stir until all the solid ingredients are dissolved ;
then strain through a napkin or a flannel bag. Turn
into moulds, and set away in a cold place for six or eight
hours. Serve with sugar and whipped cream.

Dantzic Jelly.
This is made of a package of gelatine, one pint of
sugar, the juice of two lemons, half a pint of cold water,
one quart of boiling water, half a pint of Eau-de-vie de
Dantzic, and four table-spoonfuls of brandy✪ Dantzic Jelly.
Soak the gelatine in the cold water for two hours.
Put it in a large bowl, and pour the boiling water on it.
Add the sugar and the juice of the lemons. Place the
bowl in a pan of boiling water and on the fire, and let it
stand for about ten minutes, stirring the contents fre-
quently. Mix the gold leaf through the cordial, and
then measure the half-pint. Let this stand while the
jelly is being strained, that the gold leaf may settle.
Add the brandy to the jelly, and strain through a flannel
bag or a napkin. Now add the Eau-de-vie to the strained
jelly, being careful, however, to keep back the gold leaf
that has settled in the bottom of the measure. Mix this
with one pint of the jelly, and after setting the bowl in
ice-water, stir the jelly until it is so cold that it shows
signs of congealing. Pour this into the moulds, — two
moulds, each holding a pint and a half, are good for this
purpose. Place the moulds in ice-water, and when the
gold-leaf jelly is partially congealed, fill the moulds
with the remainder of the jelly. Set away to harden.
The gold leaf is added to a small portion of jelly, and
chilled in the manner described, that it may show to the
greatest advantage in the moulds. The brandy may be
omitted.
