• 1/2 cup Vegetables (carrots, celery, onion) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 tablespoon Sweet herbs (parsley, thyme, bay leaf) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 egg Egg white, crushed shell

Instructions

1. 1Soak the gelatin in 1 cup of cold chicken broth until thoroughly softened. This should take about 5 minutes.
2. 2In a saucepan, combine the softened gelatin mixture with the remaining 3 cups of chicken broth. Add the vegetables and sweet herbs. Bring to a simmer, then add the crushed eggshell and egg white. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. 3Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Pour the liquid jelly into rectangular pans, about 3/8 inch thick. Set aside in a cool place (refrigerator) to harden for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
4. 4When ready to serve, briefly dip the pan in hot water. Turn the jelly onto a clean surface. Cut the jelly into squares, diamonds, hearts, or clubs using a sharp knife or cookie cutters.
