Pare and mince six fine ripe bananas (with a silver knife) and stir into two quarts of lemon ice-cream when half-frozen. Beat the fruit in well and freeze quickly. City housekeepers can send the bananas to a confectioner to be minced and frozen. The product of this receipt is truly luscious.

Cocoanut is also a pleasing addition to ice-cream. It should be freshly grated, and be added just before freezing.
