[Illustration: OPEN MOULD.]
_Ingredients._—1 oz. of isinglass, 6 large oranges, 1 lemon, sugar to
taste, water, ½ pint of good cream. _Mode._—Squeeze the juice from
the oranges and lemon; strain it, and put it into a saucepan with the
isinglass, and sufficient water to make it in all 1½ pint. Rub the
sugar on the orange and lemon-rind, add it to the other ingredients,
and boil all together for about 10 minutes. Strain through a muslin
bag, and, when cold, beat up with it ½ pint of thick cream. Wet a
mould, or soak it in cold water; pour in the cream, and put it in a
cool place to set. If the weather is very cold, 1 oz. of isinglass
will be found sufficient for the above proportion of ingredients.
_Time._—10 minutes to boil the juice and water. _Average cost_,
with the best isinglass, 3_s._ _Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould.
_Seasonable_ from November to May.
