Here is a cool one that was in a book from the 40's
DATE JELLY
To make this jelly, stew some dates I pray.
Until the stones slip easily away;
Then take a mould, a circle one is best,
And in it a place, like lining in a nest,
The rich dark fruit cut into little strips.
Next, add a layer of almond chips.
Then one of dates, then nuts, then dates once more,
And over all clear lemon jelly pour.
Set on the ice until its time to serve
Heaped with whipped cream in many a graceful curve.
