JELLY, WEAK WINE (Invalid Cookery)

Put an ounce of isinglass into an enamelled saucepan with three-quarters of a pint of water and three ounces of sugar. Boil gently until the isinglass is dissolved, remove the scum carefully as it rises, and throw in a tea-spoonful of cold water two or three times, to assist it in doing so. Strain the jelly through a bag which has been wrung out of hot water, add the juice of a couple of oranges, and a quarter of a pint of good sherry, and pour the liquid into glasses. Let it be kept in a cool place until firmly set. Though this jelly will be agreeable and refreshing, it will not be as nourishing as if made from calf's feet. Time, half an hour to dissolve the isinglass. Probable cost, exclusive of the wine, 1s. 4d. Sufficient for four or five glasses.
