Table jellies are made of gelatine, sugar, flavorings, and either water and fruit juice or water and wine. Rule: 1 qt. water or juice, 1 1/2 oz. gelatine, 2 lemons, 8 oz. sugar, all boiled together, then strained. By adding white of eggs before boiling it can be made brilliantly clear and can be colored to any desired tint. Set in moulds in a cold place until firm and solid, then turned out on a dish covered with a folded napkin.

Border moulds are made; the outer rim to be filled with jelly and turned out when set, the well in the center of the jelly filled with whipped cream and perhaps strawberries and other such additions.
Same plan as with whipped cream and best in hot weather.
All jellies named for some fruit or liqueur are either made with a proportion of the juice of the fruit, or with pieces or slices set around the mould; or are flavored with the liqueurs, as benedictine, kummel, anisette, kirsch-wasser, etc.
Fancy form; specialty. Two jellies, one colored pink and flavored with strawberry; other uncolored, flavored with kirschwasser; both portions whipped on ice, and before set filled into the mould in alternate layers or portions; turned out on ornamental stand of candy.
Fancy form; specialty. Clear, bright jelly filled in glasses in liquid state, whipped jelly on top; made cold.
