 Stiffly whisked egg-white mixed with sugar, lemon and gelatin solution. Our correspondent Enid Pullin confirms this is more-or-less the recipt she always knew, and says (May 2018) "You asked if anyone knew the origin of this delicious dessert which I have been making since the early 1970’s. I believe I first made it at an evening cookery class I attended in Luton where I lived at the time. It has proved a very popular dessert over the years, and the recipe has been passed on to many of my family and friends. I do well remember being told at the time that we should always tell our guests it contained raw eggs, and that expectant mothers should not eat it!"  The original source of this receipt isn't known. Can you help? info@foodsofengland.co.uk1 Lemon jelly Grated rind and juice of 2 lemons 4 medium Eggs, separated 4 oz Caster sugar 1/4 pt Hot water Preparation Dissolve the jelly in the 1/4 pint hot water and add the grated rind and juice of the lemons.
