Strawberry Jelly

Ingredients

• 1 quart of strawberries
• 1/2 pound of lump sugar
• juice of one lemon
• 1 1/2 ounces of Swinbourne's or Nelson's opaque gelatine
• 1/2 pint of cold water
• 1/2 pint of boiling water
• whites and shells of 2 large eggs

Instructions

Soak the gelatine in the cold water.

Mash the strawberries to a pulp.

Add them to the gelatine with the sugar and lemon juice.

Pour the boiling water over.

Then put all the ingredients into a saucepan.

Add to them the whites and shells of the eggs, and clarify and strain (see To clear Jellies).

Pour into a wetted mould, and set in a cool place until firm.

To turn it out, dip the tin into very hot water for a second or two, and turn it carefully on to a glass dish.
