Isinglass Jelly, Constantia

Dissolve an ounce of the best isinglass in a pint of water. Put to it a quarter of a pound of good loaf sugar, and part of the rind of a Seville orange, pared thin so as to leave none of the white skin. Simmer over a slow fire, add nearly a pint of Constantia, strain through a muslin, doubled three or four times, and mould when cool, carefully keeping back any sediment. As a general rule moulds should be soaked in water some two or three hours before they are used. Time, about fifteen minutes to simmer. Probable cost, 1s. 4d., exclusive of wine. Sufficient for two moulds.
