Ice
GLACE MERINGUE.--One quart of cream, one large cupful of granulated
sugar and six tablespoonfuls of powdered, one tablespoonful of vanilla,
the whites of six eggs, one cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of
gelatine, soaked an hour in four of cold water. Let the milk come to
a boil, and stir the gelatine into it. Strain into the cream, add the
vanilla and granulated sugar; turn into the tin and freeze. When the
mixture is frozen (it will usually require twenty minutes), take out
the beater and pack the cream smoothly, being careful to have the top
perfectly smooth. Set away until serving time. It should stand, at
least, an hour. When ready to serve, beat the whites of the eggs to a
stiff froth, and gradually beat into this the powdered sugar. Turn the
cream out, and cover every part of it with the meringue. Brown in a hot
oven and serve immediately. If the dish is flat put a board under it;
this keeps the heat from the bottom. Glace meringue is a beautiful dish.
BOMBE GLACE.--One quart of strawberry or raspberry sherbet, one pint
of sugar, one pint and a half of water, the yolks of eighteen eggs,
one large tablespoonful of vanilla. Boil the sugar and water together
twenty minutes, beat the yolks of the eggs very light. Place the
saucepan with the syrup in another pan of boiling water; stir the eggs
into this syrup and beat with a whisk for ten minutes. Take from the
fire, place the basin in a pan of cold water, and continue beating
for ten or fifteen minutes. Pack an ice cream mould in ice and salt.
Take the sherbet from the freezer and spread on the sides and bottom
of the mould. When it is hard put the cooked mixture in the center,
being careful not to disturb the sherbet. Cover with a piece of thick
white paper. Put on the cover, and cover the top of the mould with salt
and ice. Bombe glace can be made with any kind of sherbet, having the
center part flavored to correspond with the sherbet. The handsomest
dishes are, of course, made with the brightest colored sherbets.

PLAIN BLANC MANGE.--To one quart of boiling milk add two tablespoonfuls
of corn starch dissolved in a little cold milk. Sweeten and let it boil
long enough to thicken. Pour into cups, and when cold serve in glass
dishes with a sweet jelly and rich cream. This makes a very simple and
wholesome dish. Always cook custards in inner vessels, as they are not
so apt to scorch. A frozen custard is a delight in hot weather.
PINEAPPLE WATER ICE.--One pound of pineapple, peeled, sliced and
reduced to a pulp by pounding. Rub through a fine sieve. Wash the dregs
with half pint of cold water. Add one pint of syrup (made by boiling
one pint of water with quarter of a pound of sugar) and juice of one
lemon. Freeze.
RASPBERRY ICE.--One and one-half pints of raspberry juice, made by
pressing the fruit through a sieve. One pint of syrup. One glass of
currant juice, or juice of half a lemon. Freeze.
