Raspberry Bavarian.

12

Dissolve two ounces of gelatine in a half pint of cream; press out enough raspberries to get one pint of juice; add sugar to it; after it is strained add the gelatine to it; set in ice water, stirring it until nearly cold. Beat up one pint of double cream, very stiff; let the other mixtnre run into it quickly, stirring it. Fill at once in fancy mould and set on ice. Turn out when ready to serve, by dipping for a second in hot water and ornament with whipped cream.

13

Strawberry Bavarian, Chocolate, or any other kind is made on the same principle, only substitute different flavors and colors.

14

General Rules.

15

For freezing, figure one quart of rock salt to five quarts of finely chopped ice.

16

Punch, sherbet and frozen fruits are generally served in glasses with handles.

17

One ounce of good gelatine is always sufficient to one quart of liquid for any dessert.

18

Always use double cream, that is cream which has stood twenty- four hours undisturbed.

19

Too much salt will freeze cream quicker, but makes it coarse and melts the ice too quickly.

20

Gelatine should always be soaked first in cold water before being melted. If heated too quickly or if boiling water is thrown over it, a disagreeable lime taste is given to it.

21

To fill fancy moulds, such as flowers, etc., in ice cream and ices, each part must be filled well, so all the rims are packed solid when closed, then wrap each mould in strong paper and pack at least three hours in ice.
