METHOD FOR FRUIT JELLIES
Soak gelatin in cold water about 2 or 3 minutes, then pour over it the
boiling liquid; add saccharin and fruit juice, strain through cloth
into wet molds. Set in cold place to stiffen; when firm, unmold. Serve
with whipped cream, or pour liquid into baskets made from orange or
grapefruit, hollowed out and the edges scalloped, or pour into shallow
pans, and cut in 1/2-inch blocks when firm and serve on a bed of
whipped cream.
WINE JELLY
Put water, wine, lemon juice and peel, cinnamon, and saccharin into a
saucepan, allow to boil 5 minutes, pour over gelatin (which has been
soaked in cold water). If the jelly looks cloudy, return to saucepan,
and add 1/2 egg white beaten stiff; allow to boil 1 minute, stirring
constantly, and strain into mold. Serve with whipped cream.

~Sugar-free Milk.~--A sugar-free milk has been advised by Williamson.
It is made from washed cream as follows: 3 tablespoonfuls of cream are
shaken in a pint of water and set aside until the cream rises, it is
then skimmed off and mixed with the white of one egg and diluted with
pure water. This furnishes a beverage not unlike milk in appearance
and flavor.
