One-third
of a box of gelatin, one-third of a cupful of cold water, one-third of a cupful
of boiling water and one cup of sugar, the juice of one lemon and one cupful of
orange juice and pulp, a little grated orange peel and the whites of four eggs.
Soak the gelatin in the cold water one hour. Pour the boiling water over the
lemon and orange juice, cover it and let stand half an hour; then add the
sugar, let it come to a boil on the fire, stir in the gelatin and when it is
thoroughly dissolved, take from the fire. When cool enough, beat into it the
four beaten whites of eggs, turn into the mold and set in a cold place to
stiffen, first placing pieces of sponge cake all around the mold.
