Open Jelly With Whipped Cream

A very pretty dish.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints of jelly
• 1/2 pint of cream
• 1 glass of sherry
• sugar to taste

Instructions

Make the above proportion of calf's-feet or isinglass jelly, colouring and flavouring it in any way that may be preferred; soak a mould, open in the centre, for about 1/2 hour in cold water; fill it with the jelly, and let it remain in a cool place until perfectly set; then turn it out on a dish; fill the centre with whipped cream, flavoured with sherry and sweetened with pounded sugar; pile this cream high in the centre, and serve. The jelly should be made of rather a dark colour, to contrast nicely with the cream.

Time: 3/4 hour.

Sufficient to fill 1 1/2-pint mould.

Seasonable at any time.
