1/2 cupful prune syrup 14 box gelatine 1 banana 1 orange 1 cup sugar 1 lemon

Measuring cup 1 cup 1 bowl Jelly mold Knife

Wooden spoon Lemon squeezer Cheese-cloth

Put 1/4 of a box of gelatine into a cup holding 1/2 a pint of cold water and let it soak for 1/2 an hour.

Take 1/2 cup of prune syrup from some stewed prunes (the receipt for stewing prunes is given under stewed fruits) and put it in a bowl.

Peel and slice a banana and put the slices in the bowl.

Peel and slice an orange and add that too.

Measure 1 cup of granulated sugar and add that.

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fruit.

When your gelatine has soaked for 1/2 an hour strain into the bowl through 2 thicknesses of cheese-cloth and pour over the whole 1 cup of boiling water.

Put the bowl in a cold place and stir the mixture well with a spoon.

When it is quite cold beat it hard for a few minutes with your spoon.

Pour the mixture into a cold jelly mold, and let it stand on ice until it is stiff. This will take a number of hours.

This is enough for 4 people.
