ISINGLASS JELLY (Invalid Cookery)

A pleasant and nourishing jelly is made by boiling isinglass shavings and a portion of the brown crust of a loaf seasoned with Jamaica peppers. To an ounce of the shavings and a quart of boiling water, add a tea-spoonful of Jamaica peppers, and the bread-crust, which should be brown, but not black. Boil until it has wasted a pint. This jelly will remain good for some time. A spoonful may be put into soup, tea, or any other beverage. Probable cost, 1s. 2d.
