RASPBERRY SHERBET.--This sherbet is made the same as the strawberry.
When raspberries are not in season, use the canned or preserved fruit
and a smaller quantity of sugar. The juice of a lemon or two is always
an improvement. This sherbet can also be made by following the second
rule for strawberry sherbet.
CURRANT SHERBET.--One pint of currant juice, one pint and a half of
water, the juice of one lemon, one pint of sugar, one tablespoonful of
gelatine. Have the gelatine soaked in cold water and dissolve it in
half a pint of boiling water. Mix it with the pint of cold water, the
sugar, lemon and currant juice, and freeze.
FROZEN STRAWBERRIES.--Two quarts of fresh berries, one pint of sugar,
one quart of water. Boil the water and sugar together half an hour,
then add the berries, and cook fifteen minutes longer. Let this cool,
and freeze. When beater is taken out add one pint of whipped cream.
Preserved fruit may be used in this case, to each quart of fruit one
quart of water, and freeze.
FROZEN RASPBERRIES.--Prepare raspberries the same as strawberries. When
cold add the juice of three lemons, and freeze.
FROZEN APRICOTS.--One can of apricots, a generous pint of sugar, a
quart of water, a pint of whipped cream--measured after being whipped.
Cut apricots in small pieces, add sugar and water, freeze.
FROZEN PEACHES.--One can of peaches, one heaping pint of granulated
sugar, one quart of water, two cupfuls of whipped cream. Boil sugar and
water together for twenty minutes, then add peaches, and cook twenty
minutes longer. Rub through a sieve, and when cool, freeze. When the
beater is taken out stir in the whipped cream with a spoon.
BISCUIT GLACE.--One pint of cream whipped to a froth, a dozen and a
half macaroons, three eggs, half a cupful of water, two-thirds of a
cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla. Boil the sugar and water
together for half an hour, beat the eggs and stir into the boiling
syrup. Place the saucepan containing the mixture in another of boiling
water, and beat for eight minutes. Take from the fire, place the
saucepan in a pan of cold water, and beat mixture until cold. Then add
flavor and whipped cream. Stir well and fill paper cases. Have the
macaroons rolled fine and browned. Put a layer of crumbs on the cream
in the cases. Place these in an ice cream mould, cover well and bury in
ice and salt for at least two hours. Serve on fancy plates.
