CALF'S FOOT JELLY

OK, here it is...the recipe for Calf's Foot Jelly, as I promised.  This yummy dish was mentioned in the CSA Hospital Records that are on the shelves at the Coweta County Genealogical Society in Grantville, GA!  I read that it was once thought to be a restorative for invalids.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner; don't forget to add these delicious ingredients to your shopping list!!

CALF'S FOOT JELLY

4 calves' feet 3 qts. water Whites of 2 eggs 1/2 lb. powdered sugar 2 lemons Clean the feet thoroughly and boil them slowly until the three quarts of water are reduced to one. Strain and set away until cold. Remove the grease and place the jelly in a saucepan, being careful to avoid the settlings. Add the sugar, lemon juice and whites of eggs; let all boil together for a few minutes. Pour into bowls or glasses and set away to cool. This is much more nourishing than the commercial gelatin.
