In many places outside of dairy sections cream is scarce and _condensed
milk_ is substituted to a large extent. Lately milk powder has come into
use and _Emulsified Cream_ has become popular. Skim-milk powder and
unsalted butter may be kept in stock and be available at any time, and
by means of an _Emulsifier_ they are united again into a product
identical with the milk or cream from which they were originally
separated.
=Junket Ice Cream.=—By setting a mixture of milk and cream with a
solution of Junket Tablets and allowing it to jelly before freezing, the
body of the cream may be improved so that a material of comparatively
low fat-percentage will make a very good ice cream, rich enough for most
people and especially well suited for invalids and children. Ice-cold
milk or cream is rather hard to digest for a weak or delicate stomach
because the action of the rennet in the digestive juice is imperfect and
slow except at blood-temperature. In Junket Ice Cream, however, such
action takes place before it is eaten and the digestive ferment of the
stomach is relieved of that function. For that reason Junket Ice Cream
is considered healthier than the ordinary frozen products and may be
indulged in freely by children and invalids.
The following are examples of tested Junket Ice Creams:
Vanilla Ice Cream
Dissolve two Junket Tablets in a tablespoonful of cold water,
heat two quarts of milk and one pint of cream lukewarm in which
has been dissolved one cup of sugar and two teaspoonfuls of
vanilla flavor, then add the dissolved Junket Tablet, stir
quickly for one-half minute and pour into ice cream can, let
stand undisturbed ten or fifteen minutes or until set. Pack with
ice and salt and freeze.
Pistachio Ice Cream
Excerpt from an article by Alice Bradley in “Woman’s Home Companion”
This is the best ice cream for the money that we know. It may be
made ready for the freezer early in the morning, and kept in the
ice box until it is convenient to freeze it. It is quite
possible to utilize cream that is not perfectly fresh.
