There is no recipe included with this card, and I think that’s a good thing. Neither is the dish named. I gave it a fancy French name because I can.

No use trying to un-see this. The damage is already done.

Gelatin dissolves more readily if soaked in cold liquid for a short time – it should NOT be boiled. With small quantities of liquid, dissolve it in a bowl over hot water – otherwise in a saucepan over VERY LOW heat.
