FROZEN FRUITS
Frozen fruits are mixed and frozen the same as water ices, that is, they
are only stirred occasionally while freezing, but the fruit must be mashed
or it will form little balls of ice through a partly frozen mixture. The
only difference between a water ice and a frozen fruit is that the mixture
is not strained, and more fruit and less water is used. If canned fruits
are used, and these recipes followed, cut down the sugar. Cream may be used
in place of water with sub-acid fruits.
FROZEN APRICOTS
1 quart of apricots
2 tablespoonfuls of gelatin
1 cupful of sugar
1 pint of cream
Drain the apricots from the can, mash them through a colander, add the
sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cover the gelatin with a half
cupful of cold water and soak for a half hour. Stand it over hot water,
stir until dissolved, add it to the apricot mixture, and freeze. When
frozen, remove the dasher and stir in the cream whipped to a stiff froth.
Repack and stand aside two hours to ripen.
This will serve ten persons.
FROZEN BANANAS
12 large ripe bananas
1 pound of sugar
1/2 pint of water
1 pint of cream
Juice of two lemons
Peel the bananas and mash them through a colander. Add the sugar to the
water, and boil five minutes; when cold, add the lemon juice and the
bananas. Put the mixture into a freezing can, stir slowly until frozen.
Remove the dasher and stir in carefully the cream whipped to a stiff froth.
This will serve ten or twelve persons.
FROZEN CHOCOLATE
1 quart of milk
3 ounces of chocolate
2/3 cupful of sugar
1 pint of water
1/2 pint of cream, whipped
1 teaspoonful of vanilla
Grate the chocolate and put it in a double boiler with the water and sugar;
let the water in the surrounding boiler boil fifteen minutes, beat well,
and add the milk. Stir until thoroughly mixed, and the milk is very hot.
Take from the fire, add the vanilla, and when the mixture is cold, freeze,
turning slowly all the while. Serve in chocolate cups with the whipped
cream on top.
This will fill nine chocolate cups.
FROZEN PINEAPPLE
2 large pineapples
1 quart of water
1 pound of sugar
Juice of one lemon
Peel the pineapples and grate them. Add the sugar to the water, stir until
the sugar is dissolved, boil five minutes and cool; add the pineapple and
lemon juice, and freeze, turning the freezer slowly.
This will serve eight or ten persons.
FROZEN COFFEE
1 quart of cold water
1/2 pound of sugar
6 heaping tablespoonfuls of finely ground coffee
1/2 pint of cream
Put the coffee and the water in a double boiler over the fire, and let the
water in the surrounding boiler boil for at least twenty minutes after it
begins to boil. Strain through two thicknesses of cheese cloth, add the
sugar, stir until the sugar is dissolved, and stand aside until very cold.
Add the cream and the unbeaten white of one egg. Freeze, turning the
freezer slowly. This should be the consistency of a soft mush and very
light.
Serve in coffee cups, either plain or with whipped cream on top.
This will serve six persons,
FROZEN PEACHES, No. 1
2 pounds of very ripe peaches
6 peach kernels
1 pint of water
1/2 pound of sugar
Juice of one lemon
Crack the kernels, chop them fine, add them to the sugar, add the water,
and boil five minutes; strain and stand aside to cool. Pare the peaches,
press them through a colander, add them to the cold syrup, turn into the
freezer, and stir slowly until the mixture is frozen. If the peaches are
colorless, add a few drops of cochineal before freezing.
This will serve eight persons.
FROZEN PEACHES, No. 2
1 quart of peach pulp
1 pint of cream
3/4 pound of sugar
Juice of one lemon
Add the lemon juice to the peach pulp, add the sugar, and stand aside,
stirring every now and then until the sugar is dissolved. Freeze the
mixture, stirring slowly; when frozen, remove the dasher, and fold in the
cream whipped to a stiff froth.
This is one of the nicest ices for afternoon or evening collations.
This will serve eight persons; in stem glasses, ten persons.
FROZEN RASPBERRIES
1 quart of raspberries
3/4 pound of sugar
1 pint of water
Juice of one lemon
Add the sugar and the lemon juice to the berries, mash them with a potato
masher. Let them stand one hour, add the water, and freeze.
This will serve eight persons.
FROZEN WATERMELON
Scrape the centre from a very ripe watermelon, chop quickly and press
through a colander. To each pint of this juice, add a half cupful of sugar
and four tablespoonfuls of sherry. Freeze until it is like wet snow. Serve
in glasses. One pint will fill three stem glasses.
FROZEN STRAWBERRIES
1 quart of very ripe strawberries
1 pound of sugar
1 pint of water
Juice of one lemon
Add the sugar and lemon juice to the berries, let them stand one hour. Mash
the berries through a colander, add the water, and freeze, turning the
dasher constantly but very slowly.
