Currant Cream Ice

Take one pint of red currant-juice (see CURRANT CREAM, RED), mix with it a pint of cream, sweeten and freeze. A few raspberries or strawberries are an improvement. The icecream may be made with red currant jelly instead of juice if the fresh fruit is not in season. Currant-water ice is much more wholesome and refreshing than cream ice. It is made by mixing a pint of juice with syrup produced by boiling a pound and a half of sugar with a quart of water, and then freezing the mixture like cream. Time, half an hour. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. per quart. (See also CURRANTWATER ICE).
