1/2 box gelatine. 2 cups sugar. 1 1/2 cups water. 12 halves of peaches. Juice of 1 lemon. 1/2 cup boiling water.

Soak the gelatine in 1/2 cup cold water 1 hour. Put 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of sugar on the fire, and let them come to a boil, removing the scum. Put in 12 halves of peaches, and let them remain 1 minute, then take them out very carefully, not to break them, and pour the hot syrup over the gelatine. Add the juice of 1 lemon, 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of boiling water. Put these over the fire and stir until the gelatine is dissolved. Lay the peaches in a mould and strain the hot jelly over them. Let stand 6 or 7 hours.
