Tomato Sorbet (Cannes)
Sorbet de Tomates à la Cannes
Slice one pound of raw ripe tomatoes, and put them into a stewpan with one pint of water, the juice of one lemon, three sliced apples, six ounces of loaf sugar, two tablespoonfuls of apricot jam, a little apricot yellow, and as much ground ginger as will cover a shilling; add some of Marshall's Liquid Carmine to colour, bring the mixture to the boil and simmer till tender, then tammy, and when cool flavour with a large wineglass of Silver Rays rum, a wineglass of curaçao syrup or liqueur, and two ounces of very finely-cut preserved ginger. When this is cold, freeze in the charged ice machine, and serve in ice-water cups (see recipe), allowing one to each person. This ice is also excellent if moulded for a sweet or for dessert.
