Strawberry Ice-Cream

Put one pound of strawberries into a basin with sufficient crushed loaf sugar to sweeten, add the strained juice of one or two lemons, and pass the whole through a sieve into another basin. Add a little cochineal to color, two breakfast cupfuls of cream, and more sifted sugar if required. Turn the preparation into the freezer, work it well, place it in a mould packed in ice, let it set, then turn it out, and it is ready for use.
