*FROZEN DESSERTS*

In making frozen desserts attention to detail is the essential thing to
perfect success.

PREPARING SALT

The smaller the ice is broken the better, while the salt should never be
too fine. A salt prepared especially for the purpose is known as "ice
cream salt." This salt and the finely broken ice are put in alternate
layers about the cream can. Begin with a layer of ice, making this about
three inches deep. Then put in a layer of salt about an inch in depth,
and continue in this way up to the top of the cream can. The ice can be
put in a gunny sack and then broken up with a heavy hammer or hatchet.

FREEZING CREAMS AND WATER ICES

Fill the cream can three-fourths full. Cover; place in wooden bucket;
adjust the top and pack, as directed above. Turn crank slowly and
steadily. After freezing drain off water, remove dasher; with a spoon
pack hard. Put cork in top of lid. Repack freezer. Cover top with heavy
pieces of carpet and paper. When time comes to serve, wipe top of can
carefully before opening. In very hot weather renew the salt and ice
three times, and keep the blanket cold and wet with the brine from the
freezer.

VANILLA ICE CREAM, No. 1

Take one pint of milk, two cups of sugar, one large tablespoon of flour
rubbed smooth in cold milk, two eggs beaten light, one teaspoon of
vanilla extract, and one quart of sweet cream, well beaten. Heat the
milk in a double boiler, and when it is at boiling point add the flour,
eggs and one cup of sugar. Cook about twenty minutes, stirring very
often. Let the mixture get cold, then add the remaining sugar and the
vanilla and cream, and freeze. A more novel flavoring is made with a
mixture of vanilla, lemon and almond extracts. The quantities given in
this recipe make about two quarts of ice cream.

VANILLA ICE CREAM, No. 2

Beat three whole eggs very light with one cup of granulated sugar until
all grain is dissolved and mass is a light yellowish color. Whip one
pint of cream until stiff, add to eggs and sugar, then add one cup of
sweet milk, flavor with vanilla to taste, and put in freezer and turn
until hard. This is a basis for almost any kind of cream.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, No. 1

Make same as Vanilla Ice Cream, No. 2, only omitting the milk. Dissolve
on stove one-half pound of sweet chocolate, in
