Directions

  1. Soak gelatine in cold water, dissolve in boiling water, add sugar and lemon juice, strain, and set aside in cool place; occasionally stir mixture, and when quite thick, beat with wire spoon or whisk until frothy; add whites of eggs beaten stiff, and continue beating until stiff enough to hold its shape.

  2. Mould, or pile by spoonfuls on glass dish; serve cold with Boiled Custard.

  3. A very attractive dish may be prepared by coloring half the mixture with fruit red.
