Floating Island Recipe

From MRS. GOVERNOR RICHARDS, of Montana, President State Board and
Lady Manager.
Make with boiling water one quart of strong lemonade, using only the
juice of the lemons; soak one-half box of gelatine in a small cup of
cold water; stir it into the boiling lemonade and set where it will
cool but not harden. Cut three bananas in length-wise halves and lay
them in a mould wet with cold water, cover with one-half the jelly and
put the mould on ice till jelly is set, then slice three more and pour
on remainder of jelly. Serve with cream or soft custard.
Almond Blanc Mange.
From MRS. BERNADETTE B. TOBIN, of Texas, President State Board and
Lady Manager.
One quart of milk, one ounce of gelatine, three ounces almonds
blanched and pounded in a mortar with one tablespoon of rose water
added to prevent oiling; three-fourths cup sugar. Heat the milk to
boiling, having previously soaked the gelatine in a cup of it for an
hour, add gelatine when the milk is scalding hot, add the pounded
almond paste and stir all together ten minutes before putting in the
sugar. When the gelatine has dissolved remove the blanc mange from the
vessel of boiling water in which you have cooked it, and strain
through a thin muslin bag, pressing it well to get flavor of almonds--
there should be three or four bitter ones among them. Wet a mould with
cold water, put in the blanc mange and set in a cold place until firm.
