Orange Ice
3 pints of water. 1 pound of sugar. 5 or 6 oranges according to size. 1 lemon, juice only, if the oranges are sweet. 4 whites of eggs. Make a thick syrup of the sugar and very little water. Peel half the oranges, divide them each in 12 or more by pulling apart by the natural divisions and drop the pieces of orange in the boiling syrup. Grate the yellow zest of the other 3 oranges into a bowl and squeeze in the juice, then pour the syrup from the scalded orange slices also into the bowl through a strainer and keep the pieces on ice to be mixed in at the last. Add the water and lemon juice to the orange syrup in the bowl, strain and freeze. Beat in the whipped whites as usual and when finished stir in the sugared fruit.
This ice is cream--white, tinged with the orange ze--t and juice. Use the burnt almond cream for the outside and fill with the orange ice.
