Prepare a quart of jelly as directed (No. 1225) putting the gold leaves
in the mould, which you have previously surrounded with ice, have ready
twelve very fresh strawberries, twelve black grapes, twelve very white
cherries, and one peach or apricot cut in six, put six strawberries at
the bottom, with a piece of peach between each, cover with jelly, when
set place in another row of fruit, proceeding thus until full, but not
putting the fruit too close together and variegating it as much as
possible, or if in winter and the above fruit cannot be obtained prepare
three small apples, (golden pippins,) which cut into quarters and put
into a stewpan, with the juice of a lemon and one ounce of powdered
sugar, set them over a slow fire to stew till tender, then put them out
on a plate to cool, peel and take all the pith from two small oranges,
which cut in quarters, have also a few brandied cherries and some fine
black and green grapes; arrange the whole tastefully in your mould,
filling with jelly as before directed.
