two quarts of pure cream put twelve ounces of sugar and sea- son it to the taste with extract of orange. The proper proportions for freezing is one pound of fine salt to two pounds of pounded ice. JANE HAMILTON'S RECIPES PEACH. To two quarts of good cream put one pound and a half of loaf sugar and one quart of peaches (the soft peach) mashed to a pulp. The peaches must be perfectly ripe; take out the stringy substance that is next to the stone and mash them to a soft pulp. They are much nicer when passed through a colander if you have one of silver; a tin one will give them a taste.

The ice for freezing should be broken into small pieces and mixed with about half its weight of salt. Cover the vessel which con- tains the freezer with a woolen cloth unless it has a wooden cover. Shake the freezer constantly, unless you have a freezer with a dasher inside, in which case you turn that JANE HAMILTON'S RECIPES constantly until the cream is frozen too hard to move it easily. Always freeze in a pantry or a cool room in the basement. One quart of sugar weighs one pound and four ounces. SYLLABUB. To one pint of rich cream add half a pint of Madeira wine ; sweeten to your taste with loaf sugar. Whip with a whip and churn in a cool room; or put the cream on the ice if the weather is warm.
