TAKE out the great bones of four calves feet, put the feet into a pot with ten quarts of water, three ounces of hartshorn, three ounces of isinglass, a nutmeg quartered, and four blades of mace; then boil this till it comes to two quarts, strain it through a flannel bag, let it stand twenty-four hours, then scrape off all the fat from the top very clean, then slice it, put to it the whites of six eggs beaten to a froth, boil it a little, and strain it again through a flannel bag, then run the jelly into little high glasses, run every colour as thick as your finger, one colour must be thorough cold before you put another on; and that you put on must not be but blood-warm, for fear it mix together. You must colour red with cochineal, green with spinach, yellow with saffron, blue with syrup of violets, white with thick cream, and sometimes the jelly by itself. You may add orange-flower water, or wine and sugar, and lemon if you please, but this is all fancy.
