JELLY (LEMON).— This is made in the same way as orange jelly, with the exception that being more acid a greater quantity of sugar is required. Each lemon should be smelt before it is used, as one musty one would spoil the flavour. JELLY (MADEIRA WINE). — Tins jelly is made exactly like that of calves’ feet. When the jelly is nearly clarified pour into the stew- pot containing the calves’ feet a bottle or two of Madeira and half a bottle of brandy. This keeps good longer than most jellies and is very nourish- ing. JELLY (MARBLE). — Thoroughly oil a mould, and nearly fill it with different coloured jellies, arranging them in lumps like rock-vvotk, then take some cool but still liquefied crystal jelly, run it into the mould, and allow it to set before turning it out. JELLY (MEAT), for Pies. — Put into a saucepan a good-sized piece of beef, a knuckle of veal, two calves’ feet, a couple of onions, with cloves, a bunch of parsley, three or four shalots, bav leaves, and spices Sweat the whole over a slow fire, then moisten with some good broth ; stew very gently for four hours, keeping it closely covered. When done season io8 to taste, and clarify by beating into it the whites of eggs. It will keep for some time if put into ice. JELLY (ORANGE). — Peel half a dozen oranges, throw the peel into a little water and stand it on the stove, but do not let it boil. Squeeze the juice of the oranges through a sieve into an earthen pan, then pour the infusion of the peel through the sieve. Put a pound of sugar
