Solid Raspberry

Dissolve half a pint of raspberry jelly, or rub a pint of the fruit through a sieve; add two ounces of powdered sugar and a table-spoonful of lemon-juice. Stir the mixture till it is almost cool, then add three-quarters of an ounce of isinglass or gelatine which has been dissolved in a tea-cupful of water, and stir it again for a few minutes. Mix lightly with half a pint of solid cream (see last recipe) and turn into a damp mould. Care must be taken to use an earthenware, not a metal mould, or the colour of the solid will be spoilt. Time, about twelve hours to set the solid. Probable cost, 3s. Sufficient for a quart mould.
