Christina Cornets
Cornets à la Christine
Prepare some cornet cases as in Margaret Cornets,
and by means of a bag and small plain pipe garnish the
edges of them with royal icing (see recipe), then dip each
part covered with the icing into blanched and very finely-
chopped pistachio nuts, and when ready to serve fill them
up with the ice prepared as below, and serve for a sweet for
dinner or luncheon.
ICE FOR CHRISTINA CORNETS.—Take half a pint of vanilla
custard (‘Book of Ices,’ p. 23), add a quarter of a pint of
stiffly-whipped cream, and mix with it two ounces of any
nice dried fruits, such as greengage, apricot, dried ginger,
cherries, &c., that are cut into very tiny dice shapes,
as much ground cinnamon as will cover a threepenny
piece, the same quantity of ground ginger, and a table-
spoonful of Marshall's Maraschino Syrup; mix well together,
freeze dry, and use.
