You must observe to
put but a very little into your bag at a time for the second running, that
it may but little more then drop; and it will be so much the clearer: and
you must not remove the whites of Eggs nor Spice out of the bag, all the
while it is running. And if the weather be hot, you need not put in so much
wine; for it will not then be so apt to gelly as in cold weather.
ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE HARTS-HORN-GELLY
Take a small Cock-chick, when it is scalded, slit it in two pieces, lay it
to soak in warm water, until the blood be well out of it. Then take a
calves foot half boiled, slit it in the middle and pick out the fat and
black of it. Put these into a Gallon of fair-water; skim it very well; Then
put into it one Ounce of Harts-horn, and one Ounce of Ivory. When it is
half consumed, take some of it up in a spoon; and if it gelly, take it all
up, and put it into a silver bason, or such a Pewter one as will endure
Char-coal. Then beat four whites of Eggs, with three or four spoonfuls of
Damask-Rose-water very well together. Then put these into the gelly, with a
quarter of an Ounce of Cinnamon broken into very small pieces; one flake of
Mace; three or four thin slices of Ginger; sweeten it with loaf Sugar to
your liking; set it then over a chafing dish of coals; stir it well, and
cover it close; blow under it, until there arise a scum or curd; let it
boil a little, then put into it one top of Rose-mary, two or three of sweet
Marjoram; wring into it the juyce of half a Limon; let not your curd fall
again, for it will spoil the clearness of the gelly.
