BANANA PARFAIT 1 1/4 cups of banana pulp (about 3 bananas) 1/2 cup of candied fruit, cut fine (apricots, pineapple, cherries, etc.) 3/4 cup of sugar Juice of 1/2 lemon 3 tablespoonfuls of Jamaica 1 1/2 cups of double cream rum Cook the pulp, sugar and lemon juice until scalded throughout. Beat the cream till firm. Soak the fruit several hours or overnight in the rum; a heavy sugar syrup may be used in place of the rum. If the alcohol or syrup be not used, the fruit will freeze too hard to be eaten. Fold the mixture together and finish in the usual manner.
