Ice Cream Take juice of four lemons, two cups sugar, half an envelope Knox's gelatine; put enough cold water over to cover and let stand one hour; add one pint boiling water; stir well; strain through a cheese cloth bag; set aside and let cool. To the above, add half a can of apricots and run through a sieve; mix well together and freeze. When beginning to harden, add beaten whites of two eggs; pack in glass jars. Lemon Ice Cream One quart water, juice of four lemons, one pound of sugar; strain, and when ready to freeze beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth. 90 The Toronto Cook Book Nesselrode Ice Cream Take one-half pound chestnuts, boil until tender; chop and crush; then mix with a pint of milk. Beat the yolks of seven eggs light, add to them one and three-quarters of a pound of fruit sugar, two pints boiling cream in which has been boiled two ounces of chocolate, strain and stir until cold, then add one teaspoon vanilla, one cup apricot marmalade, or any other kind you wish, one cup candied fruit chopped fine, freezing very gently; put into jar or vessel and pack. Tutti-Frutti Ice Cream To one pound fruit sugar, add one quart thick rich cream; beat in two eggs very light; mix well, put the whole on the fire and stir constantly until it begins to boil; after taking from fire stir constantly for five minutes, allowing air to evaporate; season with vanilla; when half frozen, add to it one-half pound pre- served fruit, or equal parts fresh fruit, cut in small pieces. California Crush Ice Cream To one quart thick cream, take half a pound fruit sugar, two eggs, vanilla to taste; mix well, place over fire and stir constantly until it reaches boiling point; remove, strain through cheesecloth bag into the freezer; crush to a pulp one and a half pints of strawberries to quarter of a pound of fruit sugar; mix the pulp well with the frozen cream, then freeze for five minutes more, or until hardened. Cream made in this way looks very pretty, and is very delicious. Plum Pudding Glace One-quarter of a pound of chocolate, one quarter of a pound of seeded raisins, one-quarter pound of currants, two ounces of citron, one pint of sherry wine. Dissolve chocolate in the wine, mix in fruits and stew for five minutes. When cold, mix two quarts sweetened vanilla cream with it and freeze.
