Gelatine Jelly

Soak and dissolve half an ounce of gelatine in a gill of cold water, pour over it half a pint of boiling water and stir until the gelatine has quite melted; then add sugar to taste and a flavoring of thinly-pared lemon peel. When it is quite cold set it over the fire with the beaten whites and shells of two eggs, and let it come to a boil, but do not stir it. As soon as it boils take it from the fire and gently pour in one tablespoonful of cold water; let it stand for five or ten minutes and then run it through a jelly-bag. If it is not quite clear, run it through the bag again. When quite clear, mix with it a gill of wine, let stand until nearly cold and pour it into the mould. When set, turn out, and serve.
