Quick Jam (Conserve) Icing 

INGREDIENTS:
1 egg white ( feed the yolk to your cat or dog)
1/2 Cup all fruit Conserve..(suggested:Black raspberry, Raspberry, 
Apricot.,Cherry)
pinch of salt

PROCEDURE:
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.
