Fish, Jelly For

Boil down a skate, cow-heel, or calf's foot, in three pints of water, until it is reduced to a quart Skim it carefully, strain it, and boil it again with a small onion stuck with one or two cloves, a slice of ham, a little parsley, and half an anchovy pounded in butter. When it is nicely flavoured pour it off, remove the fat, and if it is not sufficiently clear clarify it with white of egg. A glassful of sherry may be added or not. It will be fit for use when cold, and should be laid over the fish roughly. Probable cost, about 1s. for this quantity.
