FRUITS FOR LEMON ICE TIMBAL.—Put in a stewpan four ounces of water, half a pound of Marshall’s Cane Sugar, a strip of cinnamon about one inch long, the peel of one lemon, and two bayleaves; colour with Marshall’s Liquid Carmine, and let the syrup boil for about ten minutes; then add to it a quarter of an ounce of Brown and Polson’s Corn Flour that is mixed with a little rose or orange-flower water; stir together till reboiling; then strain it, and when cool flavour it with Marshall’s Kirsch or Maraschino Syrup, brandy, &c.; leave it till cool, then mix with any kind of fresh-gathered ripe fruits (or preserved fruit may be used), first picking them free from stalks. If cherries are used they should be stoned, and the kernels used with the fruits; strawberries, if large, can be cut into three or four pieces; apricots, peaches, pineapple, melon, and bananas should be sliced, and set on ice till quite cold, then used.
