Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1916 — Harlequin Lemon Jelly. [ARTICLE]

Harlequin Lemon Jelly.

Strain the Juice of three lemons into a half-pint cup and fill the cup with cold water. Into a double boiler put three cupfuls of cold water and twothirds of a cupful of granulated sugar. Put five tablespoonfuls of cornstarch into a bowl, pour over it the mixed lemon juice and water; mix well. When the water in double boiler is hot, but not boiling, pour into it the cornstarch mixture and cook rapidly, stirring all the while, until a little thicker than tapioca cream. Turn into three separate dishes, coloring -two of them with a vegetable coloring and leaving the other white. (I use raspberry and blueberry coloring.) Into a quart mold put a layer each of the red, white and blue alternately, and continue till all is in the mold. Put away in a cool place and it will soon be ready to serve plain or with cream.
