Instructions
- 1
Stir enough confectioners' sugar into a teaspoonful of raspberry jam to form a thick paste; roll it into balls between the palms of your hands.
- 2
Put a lump of "French Cream" into a teacup and set it into a basin of boiling water, stirring it until it has melted; then drop a few drops of cochineal coloring to make it a pale pink, or a few drops of raspberry juice, being careful not to add enough to prevent its hardening.
- 3
Now dip these little balls into the sugar cream, giving them two coats.
- 4
Lay aside to harden.
- 5
Remember to _keep stirring_ the melted cream, or if not it will _turn back to clear syrup_.
