Note. — Condensed milk is less trouble to use than fresh milk, no stirring being necessary after the ingredients are mixed and the gelatine dissolved. Choose a brand containing full, or preferably added cream, and without added sugar ; but in the latter case, add a little sugar to the mixture. Low-priced skim milk brands are useless.

Put the gelatine to dissolve in sufficient water to cover it.

Dissolve the gelatine over the fire and strain it into the apple mixture, then set in a mould rinsed with cold water. When firm turn into a dish and serve. Rhubarb and gooseberry jelly can be made in the same way, adding more sugar if necessary. Decorate, if liked, with blanched almonds, and serve with a custard round. If half the mixture is coloured with Cox’s cochineal, the jelly is improved. With very juicy apples, use rather less water. BUTTERCUP JELLY. £ packet of Cox’s gelatine.
