Forty blanched almonds pounded rather fine, one ounce citron cut in
small squares, two ounces currants, two ounces raisins stoned and
divided. Soak all in two wine-glasses wine, all night. Make custard of
a pint of cream or milk. If cream, use yolks of four eggs; if milk,
yolks of eight eggs. Make a syrup of one pound white sugar and a pint
of water. When nearly boiling, put in the fruit and wine and boil one
minute. When cool, mix with the custard. Whip whites of the eggs to a
stiff froth, and add to the custard and syrup after they are mixed.
Add last a wine-glass of brandy.--_Miss E. W._
PLUM PUDDING GLACÉ.
To one pint cream or new milk, stir in thoroughly two tablespoonfuls
arrow-root. Boil three pints milk, and while boiling add the cold
cream and arrow-root, also three eggs well beaten, and sugar to the
taste. When cold season with vanilla bean, and stir in half a pound
cut citron, half a pound currants, half a pound raisins cut and
seeded. Freeze hard and serve in moulds.--_Mrs. T._
CREAM SHERBET.
Three quarts water, four lemons, whites of six eggs, one pound and two
ounces sugar, one pint sweet cream. Mix one-half the sugar with the
cream and eggs, which must be beaten to a stiff froth; mix the rest of
the sugar with the water and lemons. Mix all together just before
freezing.--_Mrs. A. P._
LEMON SHERBET.
Take one dozen lemons, squeeze out the juice, then slice the rind and
pour over it six quarts boiling water. Mix three pounds sugar with the
lemon juice, and one quart milk, brought to a boil and thickened with
three tablespoonfuls arrow-root or corn-starch. Be careful to remove
all the seed and most of the rind, leaving only a few slices to make
the dish pretty. After the lemonade begins to freeze, stir in the
thickened milk, and the whites of six eggs beaten very light.

One dozen good lemons, whites of twelve eggs beaten stiff, three
pounds white sugar, one gallon water. Stir all well together and add
one quart nice fresh cream. Stir often while freezing.--_Miss E. T._
_Lemon Sherbet._
Two quarts water, four large lemons, one pound and a half sugar,
whites of six eggs. Rub some lumps of sugar on the rind of the lemons.
Powder some of the sugar, beat it with the whites of the eggs, and mix
with the lemonade when it begins to freeze.--_Mrs. M._
