Directions
_Contributed by Mary B. Snowden Samuel, Mrs. Frank Samuel, Philadelphia, Pa._
Make a very rich chocolate ice cream, first scalding the cream an hour before you are going to use it. When ice cream is made have ready 1 lb. of French candied fruit chopped small for each qt. of cream. Gages, cherries, citron, and Sultana raisins. Mix these thoroughly in the ice cream. Put in a mold, and pack in the freezer. Do not let it remain too long as the fruit will become frozen too stiff. Serve this with a light sauce flavored either with brandy or rum. Sherry will not do.
