Red Cherry Water Ice

Wash one quart of sweet red or black cherries, pound them so as to break the stones, and pass the juice through a strainer into a freezer. Boil the cherry-pulp with some of the sugar and water, in order to extract the flavor from the kernels, and pass that also through the strainer. Add the other pint of water and the remainder of the sugar to the amount of three-quarters of a pound and freeze. Do not use the whites of eggs in this ice, as the color is not good unless frozen naturally. This makes a nice ice for the third color in a Neapolitan.
