Snowdrift Paraffin:
-
After sealing jelly with 1/8 inch hot paraffin, melt 2 additional bars of paraffin in top of double boiler over boiling water. Cool until paraffin becomes cloudy and starts to solidify. Quickly whip with electric mixer until foamy and slightly stiff. Work fast (if paraffin solidifies, re-melt and start again). Spoon foamy paraffin over layer of hard paraffin. Cool until set.
