Wipe the oranges and lemon with a damp cloth, and then peel off very thinly as much rind as required.

Skim and strain into a basin. Roll the oranges and lemon on the table to soften them slightly, cut them in halves, and squeeze out the juice. Strain and measure this, and add it to the other ingredients in the basin. Stir occasionally, and when cool, pour into a wet mould or moulds, and set aside until firm. Turn out when required, and serve with cream. Note. — The jelly may be set in a border mould, and, when turned out, the centre may be filled with whipped and sweetened cream.
