Rodakina Gltkisma. (Macedoine of Peaches.) Get four large peaches, being not over-ripe, divide each of them in two pieces, remove the stones. Pare the finest pieces round, plunge them into boiling water, wherein leave them until their skin is easily to be re- moved ; a few moments will do. Drain them immedi- ately, place them in a kitchen basin, and cover with cold vanilla syrup, and steep for an hour. With a vegetable cutter cut out little balls of pears, boil them very slightly in light syrup, drain, place them in a basin, add a few drops of cochineal, as well as one tablespoonful of sugar syrup flavoured with vanilla, and macerate them for half an hour. Half an hour previous to serving, drain the peaches, whip the yolks of four eggs and put in a pan with four ounces of white wine, the grated peel of half a large lemon, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Whip this on the fire till quite stiff, but do not boil it. Pour into a dish, and, ' when cold, put heaps pyramid form into the hollow 192 GREECE of the halves of the peaches ; put the balls of apples drained and cut into two round the edges. Mask the preparation (not the pears) with half set lemon jelly, dish the peaches on a gum paste bottom, having a small support on its centre ; seven or eight in a circle, one in the middle ; garnish the bottom of the difh with fancy shaped pieces of calf's foot orange jelly, and whipped cream
