[3]CUCUMBER JELLY.
Half a box of gelatine soaked for an hour in half a cup of cold water. Remove the seeds from a small green pepper, peel and cut into slices two large, fine, fresh cucumbers, or three small ones and a small white onion. Put in a saucepan, add a bay leaf and a bouquet of parsley, cover with boiling water and cook until tender; remove the parsley and bay leaf, add a saltspoonful of sugar, salt to taste--more than a teaspoonful will be required--and press through a fine sieve. There should be, when strained, two cups and a half. Pour it over the soaked gelatine--if it is not hot enough to dissolve the gelatine place the saucepan over the fire for a moment--then run it through the same sieve again; set aside in a bowl to cool. When perfectly cold and beginning to congeal, stir it well and pour into a pretty, round mould; set it on ice until ready to serve. Turn it out on a plate and arrange fresh, crisp, young lettuce leaves around it, into each of which put a spoonful of mayonnaise or cream dressing.
[3] This jelly may be colored a delicate green by using extract of spinach (see recipe, page 164). Its appearance is much improved thereby.
