Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fill a deep glass dish half full of jelly.
  2. Have as many small fish-moulds as will lie conveniently in it, and fill them with blanc mange.
  3. When they are cold and the jelly is set, lay them on it as if going in different directions.
  4. Put in a little more jelly and let it get cold, to keep the fish in their places.
  5. Then fill the dish so as to cover them.
  6. The jelly should be made of hog's feet, very light coloured and perfectly transparent.
