From MRS. GEORGE W. LAMAR, of Georgia, Alternate Lady Manager.
One quart of cream; sweeten and flavor with two wine-glasses of wine and a half teaspoonful of vanilla. Whip with an egg whip until it becomes very thick. Put one-third of a box of gelatine (Nelson’s preferred) to soak in one pint of water. When quite soft pour off the water and dissolve by holding over the fire and stirring carefully; when tepid pour into the cream. Let the mixture congeal partially and pour into a mould that has been lined with lady fingers or sponge cake cut into strips. Put into a cold place and turn out before serving.
