GLOUCESTER JELLY (Invalid cookery)

Put an ounce each of ground rice, sago, eringo-root, hartshorn-shavings, and pearl barley into a saucepan, with two quarts of water, and boil gently until the liquid is reduced to one quart. Strain, and put aside till wanted. It may be sweetened and flavoured, and eaten like jelly, or a few spoonfuls of it may be dissolved in milk, tea, or broth. It is nourishing, and easily digested. Gelatine or isinglass may be used instead of hartshorn shavings, if preferred. Time, about two hours to boil. Probable cost, 6d. per quart. Sufficient for one quart of jelly.
