This will be found useful when cream is not to be had. Put the thin peel
of two lemons into half-a-pint of boiling water, and when it has stood a
little, dissolve half-a-pound of loaf sugar in it. When nearly cold, add
three eggs, the yolks and whites well beaten together, and the juice of
the lemons. Strain this into a stewpan, and stir until it is well
thickened. After taking from the fire, stir occasionally until cold,
then mix into it a quarter of an ounce of Nelson's Gelatine soaked and
dissolved in half a gill of water, also nearly cold.
