Housewife's Cream

Rub the yellow part of a fresh lemon upon three ounces of loaf sugar; reduce the sugar to powder, and stir it until dissolved into half a pint of thick cream. Add the strained lemon-juice and a quarter of a pint of sherry, and whisk all well together until thick. Serve in custard-glasses, which should be kept in a cool place until wanted. This cream is better if made a few hours before it is used. Just before serving, dust a little powdered cinnamon or pink sugar over the top. Time, one hour to prepare. Probable cost, exclusive of the sherry, 10d. Sufficient for four glasses.
