Banana Ice-Cream

Mix in a saucepan over the fire the following proportions: One pint of water, three teacupfuls of sugar, and after boiling for twenty minutes, add the pulp of half a dozen bananas, or one or two more, if strong flavor is desired, also adding the well-beaten yolks of three eggs. Stir well for six minutes, then remove from the fire, put in a bowl of cold water, and beat well for ten minutes. When cold, pass it through a tammy-sieve adding a quart of cream, turn the whole into the freezer, and let it remain until frozen, when it is ready for serving.
