Cold sauce.
=Blackberry Pudding.=
Take baker's bread and cut away the crusts, butter, and slice rather
thick, lay 1 layer of bread and then cover with blackberries and some of
the juice (which has been stewed with a little sugar), then more bread
and more berries. Over the top throw a glass of wine. Serve with hard
sauce.
=Rennet Pudding.=
Buy a rennet from the butcher (it is the stomach of a very young calf).
Wash it thoroughly, and cut it in small pieces. Put it in a quart jar,
and fill with sherry wine. When wanted to use, heat a quart of milk to
blood-heat, and put it in the dish in which it is to remain. Stir in 1
tablespoon of the wine water, grate a little nutmeg over the top, and
put in a cold place. Very good for invalids, and makes a nice dessert,
with fresh berries.
=Chocolate Pudding.=
1 pint milk, 3 sticks grated chocolate, boil until thick, then set away
to cool, 5 eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately, 3 tablespoons
sugar, beat sugar light with the yolks, and to this add 1 cup cracker
flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and the whites, last. Put all this in the
chocolate, and let boil one and a half hours in a well-buttered form.
Serve with whipped cream.
=Apricot or Peach Pudding.=
Butter a pan thoroughly and dust well with cracker flour, and put a row
of apricots or peaches on the bottom of the pan. Take 4 eggs, beaten
together with a cup of powdered sugar. Beat in a pan of boiling water
twenty minutes. Then add 1 cup of flour, 1 lime or some lemon juice, and
1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Put this mixture over the
apricots or peaches, and bake three quarters of an hour.

ICE CREAM.
=Ice Cream.=
2 quarts cream, 1 pound sugar; flavor with vanilla. Let stand in freezer
five minutes to become thoroughly cold. To make it extra light, beat the
whites of 2 eggs to a stiff froth, and add just before the cream is
frozen. This should freeze in twenty minutes, and will make one gallon
of cream.
=Banana Ice.=
6 bananas, 3 peaches, 3 lemons, 1 quart sugar, 1 quart boiling water.
Pour hot water over the sugar and lemon juice, and stir until it is
dissolved. When cool add peaches and bananas sliced thin, and let stand
two hours; then strain through fine sieve, so nothing is left but
liquid. Then freeze.
=Lalla Rookh.=
Cut in small pieces stale sponge cake or lady fingers, a few macaroons,
some French cherries and apricots (glace), and mix a
