Cream of Roses with Sugared Strawberries
Crème de Roses aux Fraises Glacées
Put into a clean stewpan one pound of Marshall's Cane
Sugar and half a pound of water, put the cover on the
pan and cook the contents until the syrup presents a bubbled
appearance. Have some sound raw ripe strawberries with
the stalks on and dip each one separately into the boiling
syrup, place them on a well-oiled table or slab till cold,
then dish them on a pile of frozen rose cream ice as below
and serve for dessert, ball supper, &c. Other fruits can
be prepared in a similar manner, and can be garnished
with spun sugar (see recipe), arranged in little bunches
or balls, or small leaves can be used as a garnish if
liked.
