Ice—Strawberry. No. 1. (Mrs. Jamieson, Auchentorlie. 1876.)
Pick fresh ripe strawberries, and put them in a jar; keep the
dust off with muslin, stir now and then, and, when you squeeze
out the juice to each pint of juice allow 1/2 lb. of sugar. Put juice
and sugar on the stove to come to the boil; skim well. Let this
syrup get cold before you bottle it, and then cork it.
When you want to make the ice, mix a little sugar and some
water with the syrup, and the juice of 1/2 lemon; then freeze it.
