March 19th : ORANGE JELLY

Dissolve three ounces of powdered white sugar in a pint of spring water ; add the rind of an orange peeled very thin, a pinch of saffron, a stick of cinnamon broken up , and an ounce and a half of isinglass ; boil all these together. W h e n you see the isinglass is quite dissolved, pour in a pint of juice made from three Seville, and the rest from sweet oranges ; stir the materials well together,and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl ; as the jelly congeals fill your mould ,and set it in a cold place to grow firm . Before turning it out for use, be sure to dip the shape into warm water.
