Rennet, Gallino

Gallino rennet is that which is made from the rough coating of the gizzards of fowls or turkeys, and milk coagulated with it is more delicate than it would be if common rennet were used. To prepare it, carefully preserve the skin of the gizzards when about to dress poultry. Cleanse it thoroughly, and rub it well with salt. Stretch it out, and let it dry. About the same quantity of skin must be soaked as is needed for ordinary rennet, and it should be laid into water the night before it is wanted for use.
