LETTUCE SALAD WITH TOMATO JELLY

To make tomato jelly, take a can of tomatos of clear color and fine flavor. Fry in butter a slice of carrot, two slices of onion, one sprig of thyme, half of one bay leaf, six pepper- corns and two stalks of celery. Add the quart of tomatos, season with salt, pepper and let simmer half an hour. Strain and add a third of a box of English gelatine to each pint of liquid. Soak the gelatine in a quarter of a cup of cofd water for every third of a box used. It will dissolve, if it has been soaked, as soon as it is stirred into the tomato mixture. Strain again through a cloth jelly strainer, and put into little cups holding about a gill each to mold. Put each mold of this jelly on a bleached lettuce leaf and a tablespoon of mayonnaise with chopped walnuts (chopped very fine).

rose salad.

This salad was given to me by a member of the Sultan's household. I have tried it and found it very delicious. Pound in a mortar and pestle the leaves of three large red roses and six almonds. Heat, but do not boil, a cup of strained honey, add the rose leaves and rub through a fine strainer. Take twelve ripe figs, or those conserved in glass, the syrup of which can be used instead of honey. Arrange them in a mound on a glass dish, add a wineglass of Chartreuse to the rose leaf syrup and pour over the figs. Place candied rose leaves over the mound and about its base, ornamenting the outer rim with fresh roses and thin green leaves. Mulberries may be used in place of the figs, or strawberries or peaches, if you wish to make an American adaptation of an Oriental salad.
