Currant Ice
Boil two cups of water with two cups of granulated sugar until it strings, and cool. Into this put one quart of currants, stemmed and strained, but retaining the skins, and the juice of two oranges. Freeze very slowly. In fact, it is much better to pack this in the freezer and allow to stand a full hour before turning the dasher. To the less acid fruits, add lemon and orange in equal parts.
