WATER ICES AND SHERBETS OR SORBETS


A water ice is a mixture of water, fruit and sugar, frozen without much
stirring; in fact, a water ice can be made in an ordinary tin kettle packed
in a bucket. If an ice cream freezer is used, the stirring should be done
occasionally. Personally, I prefer to pack the can, put on the lid and
fasten the hole with a cork rather than to use the dasher, stirring now and
then with a paddle. If you use the crank, turn slowly for a few minutes,
then allow the mixture to stand for five minutes; turn slowly again, and
again rest, and continue this until the water ice is frozen. A much longer
time is required for freezing water ice than ice cream.

When the mixture is thoroughly frozen, take out the dasher, scrape down the
sides of the can, give the ice a thorough beating with a wooden spoon; put
the cork in the lid of the can, draw the water from the tub, repack it with
coarse ice and salt, cover it with paper and a piece of blanket or burlap,
and stand aside for two or three hours to ripen just as you would ice
cream.

When it is necessary to make water ice every day or two, it is best to make
a syrup and stand it aside ready for use.

Fruit jellies may be used in the place of fresh fruits, allowing one pint
of jelly, the juice of one lemon and a half pound of sugar to each quart of
water.

When water ice is correctly frozen, it has the appearance of hard wet snow.
It must not be frothy nor light.

A sherbet or sorbet is made from the same mixture as a water ice, stirred
constantly while it is freezing, and has a meringue, made from the white of
one egg and a tablespoonful of powdered sugar, stirred in after the dasher
is removed.


APPLE ICE

in lemonade glasses at dinner with roasted duck, goose or pork.

This will serve six persons.


APRICOT ICE

the pulps to the sugar and water. Boil five minutes, press as much as

the remaining two ounces into fine bits. Boil the sugar and water together
for five minutes, and add the lemon juice and ground ginger. Take from the
fire, add the bits of ginger, and, when cold, freeze as directed. Ginger
water ice is better for a two hour stand, after it is frozen. Nice to serve
with roasted or braised beef.

and strain. Add the fruit cut into small pieces, the juice of the orange

using the dasher. Do not stir rapidly, but stir continuously, as slowly as
possible. When the mixture is frozen, remove the dasher and repack the can;

or beef.

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

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.

2 pounds of very ripe peaches
6 peach kernels
1 pint of 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,

FRAPPÉ

A frappé is nothing more nor less than a water ice partly frozen. For
instance, Café Frappé is a partly frozen coffee. The mixture looks like
wet snow. A Champagne Frappé is champagne packed in salt and ice and the
bottles agitated until the champagne is partly frozen.


PARFAIT

A parfait is a dessert made from frozen whipped cream, sweetened and
flavored. An old fashioned parfait was not frozen in an ice cream freezer;
the mixture was packed at once into a mold, the mold packed in salt and ice
to freeze for two or three hours. To be perfect, the mixture must be frozen
on the outside to the depth of one and a half to two inches, with a soft
centre. The quick parfait given under frozen desserts is now in general
use.




MOUSSE


A mousse is a parfait frozen to the centre. These mixtures are not smooth
like ice cream, but are frozen in crystals and to be exactly correct,
should look like moss when cut.


BURNT ALMOND MOUSSE

1/4 pound of Jordan almonds
2 ounces of almond paste
2/3 cupful of powdered sugar
1 pint of thick cream
1 teaspoonful of almond extract

Whip the cream to a very stiff froth. Blanch, toast and grind the almonds,

and ice to freeze for two or three hours.
