Plain Gelatine

Soak one box gelatine in three-fourths pint of cold water till dissolved, when add one quart boiling water, the juice of three lemons (or other fruit juice) and sugar to taste (about two cups will make this moderately sweet). Let cool, then set on ice to harden. In hot weather reduce somewhat the quantity of water used. Or use three pints fruit juice (no water) to one box of gelatine, soaking it in part of the juice. Proceed as above. "SPONGE" A "sponge" may be made by the addition of whipped white of egg to plain gelatine (as above).
