Candies. Frosting, &c.
FROSTING— No 1.
Blanch half pint sweet almonds by putting them in boiling- water, stripping off the sMds, and spreading upon a dry cloth until cold: pound a few of them at a time in a mortar till well pulverized: mix carefully whites of three eggs and three-quarters pint powdered sugar, add almonds, flavor with a tea-spoon vanilla or lemon, and dry in a cool oven or in the open air when weather is pleasant.
FROSTING— No. '2.
Beat whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, add gradually half pound best pulverized sugar, beat well for at least half an hour, flavor with lemon juice (and some add tartaric acid, as both whiten the icing). To color a delicate pink, use straw- berry, currant or cranberry: or the grated peeling of a lemon or orange moistened with the juice and squeezed through a thin cloth, will color a handsome yellow. This amount will frost one large cake.
