This recipe was extracted from Miss Parloa's kitchen companion (1887) by Maria Parloa, page 369. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

To Clear Jellies. When a sparkling jelly is desired it must be cleared with the white of egg. This is a simple operation, but it is easy to make a failure of it. For three pints of jelly use the whites of two eggs. Beat them until they are light ; but the beating must cease before a stiff, dry froth is formed. Add one cupful of the jelly
