Make large cup Of clear, strong coffee
put one ounce of soaked gelatine into a
saucepan and add boiling water till there
is one quart altogether; sweeten to the
taste, and just to the boiling point remove
from the fire and pour into buttered
mold. 1t is a rich, dark color and is most
appropriately served with whipped cream
Tapioca and sago make good cold des-
serts combined with berries or fruit.
Oranges cut up small and stirred into one
cup of tapioca that has boiled clear and
has been sweetened are an attractive dish.
Serve with sugar and cream, raspberries,
peaches, Strawberries and cherries make a
variety of the same dish.
Stale sponge cake soaked in sherry and
rich custard made of the yolk Of eggs
poured over it and the whites beaten to a
froth and poured over all makes light
and agreeable warm day dessert, or Gus
tard poured over sliced bananas and chilled
is another easy dessert to prepare, and
pineapples, grated and sweetened, allowed
to stand few hours before serving, are
always acceptable.
Strawberries are now plentiful and this
is good way to serve them: Make a
cake of one cup of sugar, two eggs, one
cup of milk, one spoonful of butter, one
Tablespoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, and -four enough for a
batter, not too stiff. Bake till done in a
square tin, six inches by ten, and turn up
side down on platter of proper size, and
spread over full quart of strawberries
that have stood for two hours with full
cup of powdered sugar sprinkled over
them. Put them evenly on and pour
evenly on the juice. Do this while the
cake is warm and turn pan over it to
steam for half an hour. When ready to
serve pour over it pint of whipped
cream.
A dessert made with apples baked, but
to be served cold, is made in this way: To
pint of stewed, tart apples, pressed
through fine colander, add two large
spoonfuls of butter while hot; then stir in
the beaten yolks of four eggs and nearly
two cups of sugar; lastly, add one quart of
milk, one spoonful of vanilla favoring.
Bake half an hour in quick oven, then
beat the four whites of eggs to a stiff
froth with four spoonfuls of powdered
sugar, drop in large pacthes around on the
top of the pudding and brown in a quick
oven. Serve with sugar and cream.
JELLIEs AND CREAMS FOR INvALIDs.
When jellies and creams are ordered for
sick people in families where there is not
good cook, they are usually obtained
from the confectioners; but we venture to
think that this is not at all in the interest
of the invalid, and that effort should be
made to provide his diet from the home
kitchen. In the matter of cooking, En-
gllsh people are so conservative that they
distrust every new ideas, and are SO fully
persuaded that things can only be good
''as my mother had them" that they will
not accept modern methods and receipts.
The notion that jelly is more nourishing
made from calves feet than from gelatine
has firm hold upon many people. The
fact is, however, gelatine, from whatever
source produced, is nutritious. Ideas
prevail that it is very troublesome to make
jelly, and all sorts of difficulties arise in
the mind, as we'll as in practice, of mex
perienced people, about the bag and clear
ing of jelly. 1t is, however, not at all nec-
essary to clear the Jelly through bag for
invalids, nor indeed for ordinary do
mestic use. By little care in the use of
citric acid, which is perfectly wholesome,
a jelly nearly as bright as that which has
been cleared with eggs may be produced.
In some cases jelly without wine is re-
quired for invalids, when coffee, cocoa or
Seville orange jelly will probably be useful
1t is difficult to make these jellies palatable
without making them sweet, and they will
only keep short time. If the doctor does
not object, or where it is desirable to give
stimulants in a disguised form, a very
small quantity of absolutely pure alcohol
may be used, and it will obviate the last
named disadvantages.
