Heat two quarts of milk lukewarm in which has been dissolved one
cup of sugar and two teaspoonfuls of vanilla flavor, add two
dissolved Junket Tablets, 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; freeze to a thick
mush before adding one pint of cream and crushed and sweetened
peaches, then continue freezing. Save the needed amount of
peaches to serve on top of ice cream.
Frozen pudding, strawberries, bananas, or pineapple, may be added in
this way when making any Junket Ice Cream.
_Orange Sherbet_
Heat two quarts of milk lukewarm in which has been dissolved two
cups of sugar, then add two dissolved Junket Tablets, stir
quickly for a minute and pour into freezer can, let it stand ten
or fifteen minutes before packing with ice and salt; freeze to a
thick mush, then add juice and grated rind of six oranges and
continue to freeze.
=Raspberry Sherbet= may be made in the same way by substituting for the
juice and rind of oranges one quart of crushed and sweetened
raspberries, and
=Pineapple Sherbet= by substituting two cups of grated and sweetened
pineapple.
_Custard Ice Cream_
When cream is scarce many housekeepers substitute a mixture of eggs and
milk. The following is a good standard recipe which can be varied by
using different fruits and flavors the same as in any of the above
combinations.
1 quart milk
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla (more if desired)
2½ cups sugar
1 quart cream (or rich milk)
Scald milk, add sugar, then add the well-beaten eggs. Cook until thick,
remove from fire and cool. Be careful not to cook too long or it will
curdle. Then add the cream and vanilla and freeze.
BUTTER
As everybody knows, butter is one of the oldest and most important
products of the dairy industry and since the middle of the nineteenth
century, when science was first applied to it, the art of buttermaking
has gradually been developed to a high degree of perfection, while the
taste for fine butter has grown apace with its manufacture.
Between 1840 and 1850 the large estates in Holstein, then connected with
Denmark, were known for their fine dairies and excellent butter, made in
a practical way without much attention to the reason for the rules that
were gradually worked out.
A class of superior dairymaids was educated on these large farms, many
of whom were hired by progressive farmers on the Danish islands where an
effort was made at that time to introduce better methods of dairying.
