1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Egg white; ( feed the yolk to your cat or dog)
½ cup All fruit Conserve..; (suggested:Black raspberry, Raspberry, Apricot.,Cherry)
1 pinch Salt

Directions

1. Heat water to boiling in the bottom of a double boiler. In the top of the double boiler, place egg white, jam and pinch of salt.

2. Immediatly with an electric mixer begin beating mixture. When the mixture is heated and well mixed, turn off flame, leaving pan over boiling water and continue to beat. Have patience. Slowly but surely, the white will whip into stiff peaks. Spread on top of cake.

NOTE: This is not a good icing to place betwen layers as it is primarily air. If you are making a two-layer cake, spread a layer of the same or a contrasting jam between layers, and top with this icing.
