How tomaks really very nice ice cream
should be one Of the accomplishments Of
every good housewife. As rule this can
not Be bought, because people are not will
ing 10 pay the highest price charged by
iiEst-class caterers, and 1t really is not
very much trouble, II one knows how, to
make delicious cream-that is worthy Of
putting on the dinner table. A plate Of
ordinary Ice cream such as we get at any
restauranteur's Is very nice in its way, but
il not what one expects from a nice fam
lily table. Strawberry cream, il made
properly, Is . great delicacy. Put In a
vessel half pound Of powdered sugar and
six egg-yolks. Mix well with a.spatula
for ten minutes, then add one pint Of
boiling milk, stir for two minutes longer
and pour the whole in q copper basin.
Place 1t on the hot stove and, with the
spatula, stir gently at the bottom until
well heated, but it must not boil. Take
from the FIRE, set It on the table, then i'm
medlately add pint Of sweet cream, mix
ing again for two minutes. Add half .
binfOi Well-picked and clean strawberries.
Nix well with the spatula for two min
intso, then strain through line sieve into
the freezer, pressing the strawberries
through with q wooden spoon. Remove
the sieve, cover the freezer and proceed to
freeze.
Il will not be long before peaches will
be here, and even now the fresh apricots
from the south make delightful cream.
Put in . vessel half q pound Of powdered
sugar with six egg-yolks, then mix well
with spatula for ten minutes. Add 4
pint Of boiling milk, stir for two minutes
longer. and put the whole into q copper
basin. Place 1t on the hot stove and heat
II thoroughly, stirring Il continually, but
not letting ii boil. Remove, lay il on the
table and mix in Immediately enc pint Of
sweet cream; then leave Il to cool for
thirty minutes. HIVE six ripe, fne,
sound peaches, wipe them nicely, cut
them In two, remove the stones, then
mash into the cream, mixing thoroughly
for three minutes. Strain through q fine
sieve into a freezer, pressing the peaches
through with q wooden spoon; then pro-
coed to freeze.
Cherry water ice b a great delicaey. 1t
can Be made with the fine cherries
now u market. Procure one pound Of
sound, solid, sour cherries. Put them in
. vessel, alter picking of the stems nice
", with half . pound Of powdered sugar
and squeeze In the juice Of three fine lem
ons. Nix well with . spatula for Eve
minutes; then add q quart Of cold water,
stirring the mixture for two minutes
longer, and strain through . fine sieve
into the ice cream freezer, pressing the
cherries down with a wooden spoon.
Freeze and serve exactly the same as you
would Ice cream.
Pineapple water Ice is one Of the most
delicious, and It can be made nearly all
the year around, as good pineapple can
generally be gotten in the market.
Cut . small, ripe pineapple in two.
Nearly all Of the pineapples are fine for
this purpose except the Porto Rico pines.
Pare and peal one-half neatly, then cut It
into small pieces. Place these pieces in
the mortar and pound them thoroughly
to . pulp. Ten minutes will suffice for
this. Add half q pound Of powdered sugar
and pound again for ten minutes. Trans
fer the whole into a vessel. Squeeze in
the Juice Of three sound lemons, then pour
IN 4 quart Of cold water and mix well
with spatula for two minutes. Strain
through fine sieve into the freezer, add
ing two egg-whites beaten 10 q stiff froth,
then beat well for one minute more.
Cover with the lid and freeze.
The housewife will find these ice creams
and ices easily made, but they should
always be made by her, because servants,
no matter how good, are not likely to
measure exactly, which must be done II
the result is 10 be q success.
The most important thing TO have right
In the household 10 the milk, and the
housewife should give 10 the milk-pitcher
her attention. The fiFst Of June IL the
poorest time for milk. Cows then begin
TO iced on grass and Il Is too Juicy for
them and there Ia no butter In the milk.
About the last Of June and from that
time onward, when the grass grows ''iat, /"
Is the time for fine milk.
