Ellsidore Gooseberry Cream
Crème de Groseilles Vertes à l'Ellsidore
Take one quart of picked and well-washed green gooseberries, throw them into a stewpan with one and a half pints of boiling syrup, prepared as below, let them simmer gently on the stove till tender; colour with a little of Marshall's Apple Green or Sap Green; then add one ounce of Marshall's Finest Leaf Gelatine, and rub the whole through a clean tammy cloth; return it to a clean stewpan, add to it a quarter-pint of Marshall's Maraschino Syrup, a teaspoonful of Marshall's Vanilla Essence, and the strained juice of one orange and one lemon; stir it on some crushed ice till beginning to set, then pour it into any pretty mould and freeze it in the charged ice cave for about one and a half hours; when required dip the mould into tepid water and turn out the shape; arrange it on a dish, garnish it with little shapes of frozen Kirsch Cream (' Book of Ices,' page 16) and here and there some little sprigs of maidenhair fern.
