Black Currant French Sorbet
Sorbet de Cassis à la Française
Pound together one quart of raw ripe black currants, one pound of fresh black-heart stoned cherries, and the kernels of the same; mix them with six ounces of castor sugar, one and a half pints of cold water, the juice of two lemons, and a teaspoonful of Marshall’s Liquid Carmine; rub the purée through a fine hair-sieve or tammy, add to it a wineglassful of Marshall’s Kirsch Syrup and a wineglassful of noyau syrup; freeze it in the charged ice machine to the consistency of a thick batter, then serve it in the prepared ice-water cups (see recipe) or in glasses for a sorbet or for dessert.
