Four oranges, one gallon cream. Rub four or five lumps of sugar on the
orange peel, squeeze the juice out, put the lumps of sugar in it and
pour into the cream. Sweeten heavily with pulverized sugar before
freezing.--_Mrs. M._
STRAWBERRY CREAM.
Four quarts thick sweet cream, four quarts strawberries. The berries
must be mashed or bruised, caps and all, with a teacup of granulated
sugar to each quart. After standing several hours, strain through a
thin coarse cloth.
Put four teacups of white sugar to the cream, and then add the juice
of the berries. Whip or froth the cream with a patent egg-whip or
common egg-beater. Pour two-thirds of the cream into the freezer,
reserving the rest to pour in after it begins to freeze. Raspberry
cream may be made by the same recipe.--_Mrs. S. T._
PEACH CREAM.
Take nice, soft peaches, perfectly ripe. Pare and chop fine, make them
very sweet, and mash to a fine jam. To each quart of peaches, add one
pint of cream and one pint of rich milk. Mix well and freeze. If you
cannot get cream, melt an ounce of Cox's gelatine in a cup of water.
Boil the milk, pour it on the gelatine, and when cold, mix with the
peaches.--_L. D. L._
_Peach Cream._
To two quarts of rich, sweet cream, add two teacups of sugar. Whip to
a stiff froth with a patent egg-whip, one with a wheel, if
convenient; if not, use the common egg-whip. Then peel soft, ripe
peaches till you have about two quarts. As you peel, sprinkle over
them two teacups powdered white sugar. Mash quickly with a silver
tablespoon, or run through a colander, if the fruit is not soft and
ripe. Then stir into the whipped cream, and pour into the freezer,
reserving about one-fourth to add when the cream begins to sink in
freezing. When you add the remainder, first cut down the frozen cream
from the sides of the freezer. Beat hard with a strong iron spoon,
whenever the freezer is opened to cut down the cream, till it becomes
too hard. This beating and cutting down is required only for the
common freezer, the patent freezer needing nothing of the kind.
Tie over the freezer large newspapers, to exclude the air, and set
aside till wanted.
Apricot cream may be made exactly by this receipt.--_Mrs. S. T._
PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM.
Whip two quarts rich, sweet cream to a froth, with two teacups
powdered white sugar. Use a patent egg-whip with a wheel, if
convenient; if not, use the common egg-whip.
Grate two ripe pineapples, and add to them two teacups white sugar.
When well mixed, stir into the cream.
Pour into the freezer, reserving one-fourth. When it begins to freeze,
it will sink; then beat in the remainder with a strong iron spoon.
Beat every time the freezer is opened to cut down the cream from the
sides. Never cook fruit of any sort to make cream.--_Mrs. S. T._
