Cucumber Jelly for Salad

Make a plain lemon jelly without sugar, tint it pale green with leaf green coloring, add a pinch of salt and a dash of cayenne, cut the cucumber in tiny dice and spread on a shallow pan (not tin), which has been dipped in cold water, pour over it the jelly and set aside to stiffen (it is best to scant the quantity of water in order to make the jelly very firm); turn out on a flat platter and with fancy cutters cut it out in spots, hearts and diamonds. Use this as a garnish for the salad.
