Orange Charlotte

Ingredients

• 1/2 box of gelatine
• 2 cupfuls of sugar
• 1 cupful of orange juice
• pulp and the juice of 1 lemon
• whites of 6 eggs
• sections of orange

Instructions

For two molds of medium size, soak gelatine in half a cupful of water for two hours. Add one and a half cupfuls of boiling water and strain. Then add sugar, orange juice and pulp and the lemon juice. Stir until the mixture begins to cool, or about five minutes; then add the egg whites, beaten to a stiff froth. Beat the whole until so stiff that it will only just pour into molds lined with sections of orange. Set away to cool.
