One-half box of gelatine dissolved by pouring cold water over it, letting it stand until swollen; then pour one pint of boiling water over it, stirring it until it is all dissolved. Then add one pound of granulated sugar, the juice and grated rind of three lemons, juice of three oranges; strain it. Take four oranges, six bananas, one-half pound Malaga grapes; divide the oranges into small divisions, slice the bananas, put them into the bowl, you intend to serve them in, and when the jelly begins to congeal pour it over the fruit. Put on ice until the jelly is congealed. You can add other fruits, such as chopped pineapple, ripe strawberries, raspberries; any fruits that are in season.
