Take
7 juicy oranges, 1 lemon, 6 ozs. lump sugar, water and 1/4 oz. prepared
agar-agar. Rub the skins of the oranges and lemons well with some of the lumps
of sugar, and squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemon. Soak the agar-agar
in cold water for half an hour and then thoroughly squeeze. Warm in 1 gill of
water until dissolved. Put the fruit juice, agar-agar, and enough water to make
the liquid up to 1-1/2 pints, into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Pour through
a hot strainer into a wet mould. Turn out when cold. If difficult to turn out,
stand the mould in a basin of warm water for 2
or 3 seconds.
