Peach Water Ice

Pare, stone, and quarter half a dozen ripe peaches; put them in a syrup, made by boiling for five minutes a pound of loaf sugar, with a pint of water, the white of an egg beaten to a firm froth, and one peach kernel. Let the peaches simmer until they are quite soft. Press them through a fine hair-sieve, and add to the liquid the strained juice of two small fresh lemons and two or three drops of cochineal. Freeze in the usual way. Time to boil the peaches, varying with the quality. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. with peaches at 2d. each. Sufficient for four or five persons.
