The Package, The Utensils andJust How to Get Perfect Results
Eachpackage of Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatin weighs 3¼ ozs. and measures ½ cup or 8 tablespoons.
Each package of 3¼ ozs. calls for two cups or one pint water or other liquid and makes over one pint jelly, or sufficient to serve six persons.
In order to save time and shorten the cooling process, one cup boiling water is used to dissolve the gelatin and one cup cold water or other liquid to cool it, but if preferred, the two cups boiling water can be added at once.
If you desire to use a portion of a package at any time, dissolve two level tablespoons Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatin in ½ cup boiling water and this amount can be moulded in a custard cup and is sufficient for one large serving.
When a portion of a package of Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatin is left, close tightly as possible and keep in a dry place until ready to use.
Utensils for Measuring, Dissolving,Moulding and Chilling RoyalFruit Flavored Gelatins
Kettle for boiling waterBowl for holding the GelatinMeasuring cupSpoon for stirringMould or bowl or cup for setting the Gelatin
In measuringthe liquid it is important to use the standard measuring cup holding ½ pint or its equivalent, as the consistency ofthe finished Gelatin depends upon the amount of water or other liquids used.
Stir the mixture well after boiling water is added so all will be dissolved. Then add cold water.
For Whipped Desserts the rotary egg beater is best and saves much time.
Moulds
Thereare on the market, tin, aluminum and china moulds in varying shapes and sizes. If there is no mould at hand, ordinary bowls, custard cups or even plain cups can be used very successfully for moulding Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatins.
Chilling
Thequickest way to chill Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatins is in the ice box. To shorten the stiffening process still further, set mould in pan filled with cracked ice, rock salt and water.
In cold weather, the mould, covered, can be placed on outside window sill. Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatins chilled in this way will stiffen in a remarkably short time; in some cases in one-half to three-quarters of an hour.
Removing Gelatin From Moulds
Dipmould very quickly into bowl or pan of hot water. Loosen carefully from sides of mould with a knife; place plate or serving dish over top and quickly turn upside down. The mould can then be lifted carefully without spoiling the shape or design.
