To Serve Olives

Ingredients

• three orange baskets
• half orange

Directions

1. Olives are much more appetizing served in little dishes of pounded ice.

2. In serving an "Orange Charlotte" or a mold of Blanc Mange, make two or three orange baskets ; fill them with different colored jellies, and garnish the dish with them, by putting one at each end and on either side of the mold or form. Tie a bright ribbon on the handles of the baskets. To make the orange basket, you cut away half the orange, leaving a strip of the skin about half an inch wide for the handle. Remove the pulp from the other half orange, and the strip of skin across the top and you have the basket. Pink it around with the scissors, and tie a bright ribbon on the handle. You can make orange jelly of the pulp if you use many of the oranges at one time.
