Cream—Orange Cream, No. 2, and Sauce. (Mrs. Stubbington. 1888.)
Take 1 pt. of new milk; in it steep the thin rind of 3 oranges for 1 hour in a covered bain-marie pot; then add 6 lumps of sugar, and let it come to the boil. Take off and add at once 1¼ ozs. gelatine previously melted in 2 tablespoonfuls of cold water; strain into a basin, and leave till all but cold; add the strained juice of 3 oranges and 1 lemon, and whip well till it is in bubbles and sets.
Rinse a mould out, but leave it wet to pour the mixture in; use cold water for this.
For the Sauce: Cut some thin needle-shaped chips of the fresh orange rind, which chips must be boiled alone in water ½ hour to soften them, before you add 2 ozs. of lump sugar and the strained juice of 2 oranges.
(If you cook the orange needles from the first in syrup, they will be hard.)
All must simmer slowly ½ hour uncovered; skim it carefully as it simmers; serve cold in a boat with the orange-rind chips in it.
