Calf's Foot Jelly

Ingredients

• 4 calf's feet
• 6 quarts of water
• juice of 2 lemons and rind of 1
• 2 cloves
• 1 two-inch piece of stick cinnamon
• 2 cupfuls of sugar
• 1 pint of wine
• whites and shells of 2 eggs

Instructions

Wash the feet very carefully and put them on with the cold water. Boil gently until the water is reduced to two quarts; then strain through a napkin, and set away to harden. In the morning scrape off all the fat and wipe the jelly with a clean towel. Break it up and put in a kettle with the other ingredients, having first beaten the whites of the eggs and the shells with half a cupful of cold water. Let the mixture come to a boil slowly, and set back for twenty minutes where it will keep at the boiling point. Strain through a napkin, mould, and set away to harden.
