Dominic Sorbet
Sorbet à la Dominique
Take the peel from six oranges and four lemons, put it into a stewpan or basin with one pound of loaf sugar, two bay-leaves, and a two-inch strip of crushed cinnamon; pour over these one quart of perfectly boiling water and let it remain until quite cold; then add the strained juice of the fruit, tammy it, add one wineglassful of curaçao syrup, one of sherry, the peel of a lemon and of an orange (freed from pith and thinly cut into Julienne shreds about one inch long), a quarter of a pound of angelica cut in the same way, and four whites of eggs prepared as below; mix up all together, then freeze it to a thick consistency, and serve in prepared ice-water cups (see recipe) or glasses for a sorbet. This may be served for dessert, in which case the mixture should be dished up in a pile on a glass dish and George’s Cheltenham Wafers handed with it.
