An Economical Jelly Recipe

For general family use it is not necessary to clear jelly through the

bag, and a quart of excellent jelly can be made as follows: Soak one

ounce of Nelson's Gelatine in half-a-pint of cold water for two or three

hours, then add a 3d. packet of Nelson's Citric Acid and three-quarters

of a pound of loaf sugar; pour on half-a-pint of boiling water and

half-a-pint of sherry, orange or other wine (cold), and add one-twelfth

part of a bottle of Nelson's Essence of Lemon; stir for a few minutes

before pouring into the moulds.



The effect of citric acid in the above quantity is to make the jelly

clearer. When this is not of consequence, a third of a packet can be

used, and six ounces of sugar. Wine can be omitted if desired, and water

substituted for it. Ginger-beer makes an excellent jelly for those who

do not wish for wine, and hedozone is also very good.
