Default Calvesfoot Jelly

Choose 4 calves’ feet with the skin on (if without the skin 6 must be taken), crack and wash them well, put over the fire, cover with cold water and boil till they fall apart; strain the liquor through a fine sieve and let it stand in a cool place; next day skim off every particle of fat and remove the sediment; put the jelly over the fire and reduce it down to 2 quarts by boiling; beat up the whites of 4 eggs, add a little cold water, the juice of 2 lemons and the thin peel of one, 6 cloves and a piece of cinnamon; add this to the contents of saucepan, stirring constantly; boil for a few minutes; then move the saucepan to side of stove and let it stand for 5 minutes without boiling; then strain it through a double flannel bag; dissolve 2 cups sugar in 1 pint sherry or Madeira wine, strain through a napkin and add it to the strained jelly; rinse out the moulds with cold water, put in the jelly and set in a cool place. This jelly may be put into tightly corked bottles, and will keep for a long time. When wanted for use set the bottle in hot water until the jelly melts; then pour it into moulds and set in a cool place till firm.
