in the past , jellies and creams were often the crowning glories of the table., robert may in his accomplisht cook (london: 1660) tells us to mould jellies in scallops and other kinds of sea shells., a rosewater flavoured spanish pap or steeple cream, moulded from leach in a wine glass and garnished with pinenuts. this was a popular dish in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. some recipes supplemented the isinglass with ivory shavings for a firm set., a salver of eighteenth century jelly glasses filled with ribbon jelly and jaunmange in the centre. this was the most common way of serving jellies in the eighteenth century. jaunmange was a flummery coloured yellow with egg yolks., a restorative jelly was once made from shavings of the soft velvet antlers of young male deer (harts). this material was processed by hanging the antlers up to dry, removing the skin and grating them. the resolting hartshorn was once an important grocer s item. opposite is a seventeenth recipe for hartshorn jelly, which was more of a medicinal preparation rather than a food item., a gilded leche or leach. this rosewater flavouredjelly was served at henry viii s garter feast at windsor in 1520 , appearing in both the first and second course. it continued to be a favourite dish at other garter feasts until the seventeenth century. leach was closely related to ribband jelly , a jelly moulded in multi-coloured layers, also popular in the early modern period.., snippits from the website )
