Basket, Chantilly

This basket is pretty, but skill is required to make it successfully. Make a cement of sugar boiled to crackling height. (See SUGAR, BOILING.) Dip the edge of some macaroons into it, and line with them a mould shaped liked a basket, taking care that the edges of the macaroons touch each other. When wanted take it out of the mould, fill it with whipped cream, and it is then ready for table. Time, two or three hours to set. Cost for quart mould, exclusive of cream, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
