Apple Sultan Sorbet
Sorbet de Pommes à la Sultan
Peel and slice one and a half pounds of good cooking apples, put them into a stewpan with six ounces of castor sugar, the peel of a lemon, a piece of cinnamon about one inch long, and one pint of water; cook these till the apples are tender, then add the juice of two lemons, and colour lightly with Marshall’s Apple Green; rub the mixture through a tammy, and when cool add a wineglassful of brandy; freeze it in the charged freezer till like a thick batter, add a quarter of a pint of stiffly-whipped cream slightly sweetened, and refreeze; then serve it in the prepared ice-water cups (see recipe) or glasses with a small quantity of the compote of sultanas, prepared as below, on the top of each.
