XI. Grape Juice Desserts

Grape Gelatin Parfait (Six portions)

(Delicious after a heavy meal)

Two level tablespoons granulated gelatin
One-third cup cold water
One cup grape juice
Two tablespoons lemon juice
One-half cup orange juice
One-half cup sugar
Two cups stiffly-whipped cream

Soak the gelatin in the cold water for five minutes. Heat the grape juice to the boiling point and pour over the gelatin mixture. Stir until dissolved. Add the lemon juice, orange juice and sugar. Set in a cold place until the mixture becomes stiff around the edges.

Beat for three minutes with a Dover egg-beater, add the whipped cream, and beat for one minute more.

Pile lightly in glass sherbet cups. Set in a cold place for one hour or more. Serve.
