Portland Sorbet
Sorbet à la Portland
Take one quart of picked fresh raw ripe black currants, three raw ripe peaches, a quarter pound of ripe peeled pineapple, six ounces of castor sugar, the pulp of three oranges, and ground allspice the weight of four cloves; pound these to a pulp, add to them one and a half pints of claret and two wineglasses of white wine; colour with Marshall's Liquid Carmine to a red colour, then rub all through a fine hair sieve and put it into the charged freezing machine. Freeze it to the consistency of a batter, then add to it four whites of eggs as in recipe for 'Dominic Sorbet;' refreeze, and serve in prepared ice-water cups (see recipe) or glasses for a sorbet, or it may also be used as a dessert ice.
