Strawberry French Sorbet
Sorbet de Fraises à la Française
Take two pounds of fresh strawberries, pick them, then pound them with six ounces of loaf sugar, add the juice of two lemons, a few drops of Marshall's Carmine, a pint of claret, a wineglassful of brandy, half a wineglass of Silver Rays (white) rum, and half a pint of cold water; rub all together through a tammy and freeze; then with this mixture nearly fill the prepared ice-water cups (see recipe); dish up on a serviette, and serve for dinner after the remove, or the same mixture can be used for dessert.
