A Hen's Nest

Ingredients

• 5 whole small eggs
• blanc mange
• 6 whole lemons
• sugar
• jelly, nice

Instructions

1. Carefully make a hole at one end of each of the five small eggs and empty out the contents, leaving the shells intact.
2. Fill each emptied eggshell with blanc mange and allow to set until stiff and cold, then remove the shells.
3. Pare the yellow rind very thin from the six lemons. Boil the lemon rinds in water until tender, then cut them into thin strips to resemble straw. Preserve these strips with sugar.
4. Fill a small deep dish half full with nice jelly and allow it to set.
5. Arrange the preserved lemon strips on the jelly in the form of a nest. Lay the blanc mange eggs carefully in the nest.
6. Serve as a beautiful dish for dessert or supper.
