CALVES’ FOOT JELLY.
MRS. DANGERFIELD, ALEXANDRIA, VA.
_Contributed by Mrs. James T. Halsey, Virginia._
Prepare very carefully 4 calves’ feet, hoofs taken off, etc. When boiled to pieces in about 2 qts. of water, pour them through a colander. When cold take all the grease off. There should be from 4 feet about 3½ pts. of jelly; pour on this 1 qt. of wine, juice of 6 lemons strained from seeds, 1½ lbs. granulated sugar, 2 blades of mace, the rind thinly peeled from 2 lemons. Wash 8 eggs clean, beat the whites to a froth, crush the shells and put them with the jelly. Set on the fire, stir until jelly is melted and do not touch it afterwards. When it has boiled until it looks quite clear on one side and the drops accumulate on the other, take off the thickest part of the drops, pour the jelly into a bag which should be made of coarse cotton. Put back what runs through until it is transparent.
