Part 10

Select only very ripe plums; wash, remove pits, and press through a sieve. There should be a pint of this pulp and juice. Add syrup, freeze until well thickened, add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, and continue to turn until frozen smooth and as hard as this sort of thing can well be frozen.

CRANBERRY SHERBET

1 quart of cranberries, 1 quart of water, 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, 1½ cupfuls of syrup, 1 egg white.

Cook the cranberries in water for ten minutes. Press through a fine sieve, return to the saucepan and add the syrup, cook for five minutes, turn into the freezer, and when partly frozen, stir in the stiffly beaten white of an egg (use two egg whites if eggs are plentiful), and finish freezing.

GRAPEFRUIT SHERBET

2 cupfuls of water, 2 cupfuls of grapefruit juice, 1½ cupfuls of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of gelatine, ½ cupful of white grape juice, 1 egg white, 2 tablespoonfuls of chopped cherries.

Boil the water and sugar together for ten minutes; soften the gelatine with a little water and stir into this syrup. Cool, add the juice of grapefruit and the grape juice. Turn into a cold freezer and when the mixture begins to thicken well, add the stiffly beaten white of an egg and the cherries (two egg whites are better if eggs are not too expensive). Cover and freeze until firm and smooth.

GRAPE SHERBET

1 teaspoonful of gelatine, ¾ cupfuls of grape juice, 1 cupful of syrup or sugar, ½ cupful of honey, 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, ½ cupful of water, 1 egg white.

Soak the gelatine in a little cold water; boil the syrup, honey and half cupful of water, and add the dissolved gelatine. Allow this to cool, add grape juice and the lemon juice and freeze. Open the freezer when slightly hard and add the stiffly beaten egg white. Re-cover and freeze until smooth and hard. (Two egg whites are better if plentiful.)

CRÉOLE LEMON SHERBET

3 lemons, 1 cupful of sugar, 2 cupfuls of water, 1 egg white.

Boil the water and sugar, and add the grated rind of one lemon. Cool, add the juice of three lemons, strain through a fine cloth, and freeze until partly frozen, remove the cover, add the egg white stiffly beaten. Cover again and freeze until smooth.

MILK SHERBET

2 lemons, 1 cupful of syrup, 3 cupfuls of whole milk, Candied cherries.

Mix the juice of the lemons and the syrup, add the milk very slowly, stirring constantly, as it will curdle if poured too fast. That will not spoil the sherbet, but it does not look so well and one’s appetite is helped by the appearance of one’s food.

Freeze the mixture, serve in attractive glasses, with a few chopped candied cherries.

ORANGE SHERBET

1 egg white, 2 cupfuls of orange juice, 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, 1 cupful of water, ¾ cupfuls of sugar (brown sugar or syrup may be used).

Put the sugar in a saucepan with the water, bring to the boiling point, then cool. Add the orange and lemon juice, a pinch of salt and freeze.

Before the freezing is complete, add the egg white beaten stiffly; repack and continue to freeze until smooth.

STRAWBERRY SHERBET

1 quart of strawberries, 2 cupfuls of water, 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, ¾ cupfuls of syrup or sugar, 1 egg white.

Wash and hull the strawberries, mash well and press through a cheesecloth. Add the syrup, lemon juice and water. Mix well, freeze

## partially, add the stiffly beaten egg white, and finish freezing.

RASPBERRY SHERBET

1 quart of raspberries, 1 egg white, 3 cupfuls of water, 1 cupful of syrup or sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, 2 cupfuls of raspberry juice.

Mash the berries and press through a cheesecloth; pour boiling water over the syrup; add the berry juice and lemon juice and freeze. When

## partially frozen, add the stiffly beaten egg white, stir in well, and

continue to freeze until smooth.

EMERGENCY PEACH SHERBET

This might also be called an economical sherbet, for one may use just as many peaches as one has. For in this recipe one is supposed to use peaches too ripe for slicing.

Mash the peaches, and press through a coarse sieve and sweeten to taste. Half fill sherbet glasses with finely shaved ice and pour the sweetened peach pulp over. Top each serving with a preserved or candied cherry.

PINEAPPLE SHERBET

1½ pints of grated pineapple, 1½ cupfuls of syrup, 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, 1 pint of rich milk, 2 egg whites.

To the grated pineapple (canned may be used if fresh pineapple is not in season) add the syrup and the gelatine which has been dissolved in a small amount of water. Stir, pour into the chilled freezer, and freeze until about half frozen; open the freezer and add the milk; again turning the freezer until it turns with difficulty. Uncover, add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, turn until well mixed, and thoroughly hard.

If the dasher is removed and the sherbet repacked and allowed to stand to “ripen” for two hours, there will be a decided improvement in flavor and texture.

TEA SHERBET

2 cupfuls of tea, 1 cupful of sugar, 1 lemon, 1 orange, ½ cupful of water.

Melt the sugar in the water and allow to begin to boil; take from the fire and add the juice of the lemon and orange; stir well, add the tea and freeze.

APPLE ICE

1 quart of tart red apples, 1½ cupfuls of maple sugar, 3 cupfuls of water, 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice.

Wash, quarter and remove the core, but do not pare the apples. Put them into a saucepan with the water; boil rapidly until soft. Mash and add the maple sugar. When cold press through a fine sieve, add the lemon juice and freeze.

LEMON ICE

1 cupful of sugar, 3 lemons, Water.

Add a cupful of sugar to the zest of one lemon and the juice of three; add enough water to make a quart. Allow this to come to the boiling point, cool, strain and freeze.

LOGANBERRY ICE

2 cupfuls of loganberry juice, 1 cupful of sugar, 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice.

Boil the water; add the sugar and when cold add the lemon and loganberry juices. Freeze until smooth and hard. Repack and allow to stand for two hours.

STRAWBERRY ICE

1 cupful of sugar, 1 cupful of water, 1 quart of strawberries.

Boil the sugar and water until it bubbles. Wash and hull the strawberries; mash and press through a cheesecloth. When the syrup is cold, add the strawberry juice and pulp; mix well and freeze.

WATERMELON ICE

Ripe melon, 1½ cupfuls of sugar, 2 oranges, 1 lemon, ½ cupful of white grape juice, Pink vegetable coloring.

Remove the pulp from a ripe melon; press it through a fine sieve and add the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice and the zest of one orange and the grape juice. Color with enough vegetable color to make it a real watermelon pink; pack and freeze.

FRUIT GRANITS

Granits are really “snow waters,” frozen only enough to admit being poured. The granits are frozen in a freezer, although the Créoles usually freeze them in the “old fashioned water jugs.”

ORANGE GRANIT

1½ cupfuls of orange juice, ½ pound of sugar, 1 pint of water.

Peel six oranges very carefully, removing all the inner white part of the skin, and slice very thin. Place this in a deep bowl and sprinkle granulated sugar, allowing it to stand for five hours. Squeeze the juice from six oranges, and press the juice from the sliced ones, straining it and mixing the plain juice with this syrup. Add the water, strain and pour into a freezer; and freeze until like mush. Serve in small punch glasses.

LEMON GRANIT

1 pint of water, ½ pound of sugar, 1 cupful of lemon juice.

Extract the juice from the lemons, add the sugar and stir until dissolved; add the water and freeze until mush-like and serve in attractive punch glasses.

STRAWBERRY GRANIT

1 quart of strawberries, 1 tablespoonful of strawberry extract, 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, 1 pound of sugar, 1½ pints of water.

Crush the berries and cover with the sugar, allowing this to stand for five hours. Strain and press through a sieve, pressing out all the juice possible. Add the lemon juice, water and the extract. Turn this into a freezer and freeze until like mush. Serve in punch glasses.

RASPBERRY GRANIT

1 quart of raspberries, 1 tablespoonful of raspberry extract, 1 pound of sugar, ½ cupful of currants, 1 pint of water.

Crush the currants and raspberries and cover with the sugar, allowing this to stand for five hours. Press through a sieve, being sure to leave no juice which can possibly be pressed out. Add the extract and water and freeze until like mush. Serve in punch glasses.
