1/2 gallon of cream,
1 cup of grated almonds,
3 or 4 bitter almonds,
7 oranges. Sweeten the cream and freeze. When nearly stiff enough, beat the almonds and juice in and freeze well.
1/2 gallon of cream,
1/2 pint sugar,
1 can of apricots,
1 lemon,
1 tablespoon gelatine.
Make a syrup of the sugar and add the lemon juice. Mash and strain the apricots. When the syrup is cool, pour into the cream and put in the freezer. When half frozen, add the apricots and freeze quite hard.
A good banana cream is made by recipe for Apricot Cream. Use the lemon for flavoring. To 1/2 gallon of cream use 8 bananas. Mash the fruit, and add when the cream is half frozen.
Mrs. Henry C. Buckner
1 quart of very rich cream, Yolks of 6 eggs,
1/2 pound (scant) sugar, powdered,
2 tablespoons of vanilla, 2 dozen macaroons.
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until very light. Then whip the cream till very stiff, and add macaroons rolled very fine. Mix the eggs and sugar with the cream. Do not stir them in - or the cream will not remain stiff - but take a knife and turn the mixture in. Have ready a bucket; fill it, and pack immediately in ice and salt. Have the ice all ready before whipping the cream, as it must not stand. Use a quantity of salt, as it needs to freeze quite hard, and there is not the body to it there is to ice cream.
Mrs. R. H. Hanson
1 1/2 dozen stale macaroons, 1/2 pint of cream, 1/2 box Cox's gelatine.
Roll the macaroons very fine and add the cream and soak well. Dissolve the gelatine in water, then mix well with cream and almonds. Add 1/2 gallon cream which has been sweetened to taste, and freeze well.
