Put in the can of the freezer one pint of milk, one-half cup of
heavy cream, one-third cup sugar, one teaspoonful vanilla,
one-half teaspoon of almond extract, a few grains of salt, and
vegetable color paste to make a delicate green color. Set the
freezer in a pan of hot water. As soon as the mixture is
lukewarm, add one Junket Tablet dissolved in one tablespoon cold
water. Mix thoroughly and let stand until firm. Put in the ice
box until ready to freeze, then put can in the freezer tub,
adjust the crank, put in three small measures of ice that has
been crushed in a heavy bag or shaved fine with an ice shaver,
cover this evenly with one measure of rock salt, add three
measures more of ice and one of salt, let stand five minutes and
then turn the crank of the freezer for about ten minutes, when
it may be turned a little more rapidly. Continue the turning
until the mixture is firm.
Remove the dasher, pack ice cream solidly into the can, surround
with four measures of ice to one of salt, cover with heavy
burlap bag or newspaper and keep in a cold place until needed.
Be sure the opening in the side of the freezer tub is not
plugged up, so that any surplus of salt water will drain off
instead of getting into the freezer. It may be necessary to
repack the freezer if the cream is frozen very long in advance
of the meal. The cream may be put into a mold, set in the
fireless cooker kettle, surrounded with ice and salt and left in
the fireless cooker all day. Peel peaches, cut in thin slices,
sprinkle with sugar and set in the ice box to chill. To serve,
place peaches in chilled dessert glasses, cover with ice cream
and garnish each with a candied cherry.
In the following recipes the cream is added after the junket prepared
from mixtures of milk, sugar and flavors has been partly frozen, a
method which is preferred by many.
Coffee Ice Cream
Make a cup of very strong coffee, add it to two quarts of warm
milk in which one cup of sugar has been dissolved, taste in
order to see if the flavor is strong enough, add three dissolved
Junket Tablets, stir quickly for one-half minute, pour into ice
cream can and let stand undisturbed ten or fifteen minutes or
until set. Pack with ice and salt; freeze to a thick mush before
adding one pint of cream, then continue freezing.
