Orange Snow
4 large, sweet oranges. Juice of all and grated peel of one.
Juice and half the grated peel of 1 lemon.
1 package of gelatine, soaked in cup of cold water.
Whites of 4 eggs, whipped stiff.
1 cup—a large one—of powdered sugar.
1 pint boiling water.
Mix the juice and peel of the fruit with the soaked gelatine; add the sugar; stir all up well and let them alone for an hour. Then pour on the boiling water, and stir until clear. Strain through a coarse cloth, pressing and wringing it hard. When quite cold, whip into the frothed whites gradually, until thick and white. Put into a wet mould for eight hours.
