LEMON ICE CREAM. Half a box of gelatine dissolved in a little water, strain and pour over half a pint of boiling milk, add one quart of cream, two quarts of milk. The rind of a lemon grated in while boiling; juice added while it is freezing. 166 ICES. 167 PEACH ICE CREAM. Select rich, ripe peaches, peel and mash them to a pulp; make them very sweet; a pound or more of sugar to a pound of fruit, and add to every pint a pint of cream. Remember in using sugar that much sweetness is lost in the freezing. Coddled apples may be used in the same way. PINE-APPLE ICE CREAM. Choose a very ripe pine-apple, pare it, take out all the eyes, then grate it, and make after the above rule. PISTACHE ICE CREAM. To prepare pistache nuts for ice cream, pour boiling water over them; let them stand a few moments, drain, and cover again with boiling water, when the skins will slip off quite easily. They are then pounded to a paste in a mortar and mixed with the cream. STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM. Pour a pint of scalding milk on a well-beaten egg and an even tablespoon of corn- starch mixed smooth in a little cold milk ; stir it over boiling water until it begins to thicken; when cold, mix it with a pint of strawberries that have been mashed with a half pound of sugar and rubbed through a colander. CURRANT ICE. To one pint of currant juice add one pound of sugar, and one pint of water; when partly frozen, add the whites of three eggs whisked to a stiff froth. LEMON ICE. To one pint of lemon juice add one quart of sugar, and one quart of water in which the thin rind of three lemons has been steeped until highly flavored; when partly frozen, add the whites of four eggs
