Frozen Strawberries and Whipped Cream

Put two tablespoonfuls of crushed loaf-sugar in a saucepan with one quart of water, and boil together for half an hour. Put two quarts of picked ripe strawberries into the syrup, and boil it for fifteen minutes longer. Let the strawberries and syrup cool, then turn them into the freezing-pot, and work them until frozen. Mix in with the frozen strawberries one pint of whipped cream, and serve.

Strawberry and Raspberry Whipped Cream Carefully pick over one-half pound each of strawberries and raspberries, mash, and strain the juice. Sweeten the juice with powdered sugar. Whip one quart of cream to a stiff froth, then mix the sweetened juice with it. Place the mashed fruit on a glass dish, pour the whipped cream over it, and serve.
