Bombe Glace

Roman Punch

One quart of water, one and one-half cups of sugar, four oranges and one lemon, one-half cup of Jamaica rum. Dissolve sugar in water, grate the rind of one lemon and one orange ; squeeze out the juice of the oranges and lemon, add to the sugar and water and the Jamaica rum.

Another Way

Use the same materials as in the other recipe-Make a syrup of the sugar and water by boiling together three minutes, cool, add the other ingredients and the white of one egg beaten stiff. Freeze. Serve after entrees or fish. Other frozen punches are made the same way adding other liquors or wines.

Pineapple Sherbet

Mix together one pint of pineapple juice, the juice of two lemons. Let this mixture stand for one hour, add one pint of water, one pint of sugar ; strain and freeze. Or the sugar and water may be boiled together for twenty minutes, the strained juice added when cold ; freeze. All ices are made this way, substituting any fruit desired, tea or coffee.

Strawberry Sherbet

Is made the same as the above, using mashed strawberries strained in place of pineapple.

Boil one pint of sugar, one pint of water, juice from pint can of pineapples twenty minutes ; beat the yolks of ten eggs and stir into this syrup. Put saucepan in another of boiling water and beat until it thickens,take off, place in basin of cold water, beat for ten minutes. Mix chestnuts with one cup of cream, rub all through a sieve, add one-half pound of French candied fruit and the pineapple cut fine.

Salted Almonds

Blanch the almonds by pouring boiling water over them ; let stand a moment, then throw them into cold water, and rub off the skins. To each cup of nuts allow one tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil. Stir the almonds well in it, let stand an hour, sprinkle with salt, allow one and one-half tablespoons of salt to each cup of nuts. Put into a moderate oven, watch carefully, let them bake, stirring occasionally, until they turn a delicate brown ; they should be crisp. Remove from oven, rub off all the salt.

Blanch two cups of almonds. Dissolve one-half cup of salt in one and one-half cups of water. Soak almonds in this solution over night, wipe, put into a baking-pan, and brown amber color in moderate oven. They must be brittle. Almonds prepared in this way will keep longer than when cooked in oil or butter. If you wish them very salt put in more than a half cup of salt.

Tapioca Blanc Mange

Have syrup made of one cup of sugar, two cups of water, put in the lemon rind and juice, and then the apples. Cook apples carefully, try with a wisp of a broom, and if perfectly cooked remove to dish; be careful not to break. If syrup is too thick reduce it and strain over apples, and set away to cool. Serve with cream.

Apples Another Way

Take four or six apples, wash, peel, quarter and core; lay in an earthen pie plate, and sprinkle over each one tablespoon of sugar and one-half teaspoon of lemon juice; add one-half cup of water; baste and bake slowly until brown.
