1800s Cooking Tips and Recipes

TAPIOCA JELLY One cupful of tapioca. Pour over it three cupfuls of cold water and let it stand three hours, then put it in a saucepan set within another pan of boiling water. If the tapioca has soaked up the water, add a little lukewarm water to it, then boil, stirring frequently when it begins to clear. If too thick, add a little boiling water, about a tablespoonful. When quite clear, add white sugar to taste, the juice of one lemon and very little of the grated rind. Pour into a mould wet with cold water. Serve when cold with sugar and cream.
