Grape Jelly

Ingredients

• 1 ounce of gelatine
• 1 1/2 pounds of grapes
• 1/2 pound of loaf sugar
• 2 tablespoonfuls of brandy

Instructions

Dissolve the gelatine, (cost eight cents,) in half a pint of cold water. Break the grapes, (cost ten cents,) in an earthen bowl with a wooden spoon; strain the juice without pressing the grapes, through clean muslin, three times; put the juice into a preserve kettle with the loaf sugar, (cost eight cents,) and the dissolved isinglass, and boil it ten minutes; rub a jelly mold with pure salad oil; add the brandy, (cost three cents,) to the jelly; pour it into the mould, and cool until the jelly sets firm. The above ingredients will make about a pint and a half of jelly, and will usually cost about twenty-five cents, for the above estimate is rather more than the average cost.
