Ingredients
  • - when cutting up fresh fruit, sprinkle with citrus juice to prevent browning
  • - whipped cream must be folded into cold ingredeints or it will lose its stiffness and liquefy
  • - one tablespoon of gelatin will solidify two cups of liquid
  • - gelatin is firm enough to unmold after two hours of refridgeration, or four hours if fruit or nuts have been added
  • - whipped gelatin doubles in volume. When combined with egg whites it will almost triple
  • - when thickening a pudding, one tablespoon of flour equals two teaspoons of cornstarch or one teaspoon of arrowroot
  • - to prevent custard from forming a skin as it cools, float a small amount of milk on top of the pudding or cover with plastic wrap that touches the pudding top
