Pineapple Water Ice

Take one or two pineapples which are perfectly sound and fully ripe, pare them, and pick out the specks. Grate the flesh on a coarse grater, and press the pulp through a colander. To a pint of pulp add half a pint of water and eight ounces of sugar, with the white of a fresh egg beaten to a firm froth. Put in the egg in small quantities at a time, and beat the mixture for some minutes. Freeze in the usual way. Or, take half a pound of the flesh of a ripe pineapple. Pound in a mortar, then mix with it the strained juice of a fresh lemon, a pint of syrup, and half a pint of water. Strain through a napkin, and freeze in the usual way. Probable cost, pineapples, 1s. 6d. to 2s. each.
