  1. Take some very small, unbruised bananas, allowing one to each person, and split them down on one side; remove the fruit.
  2. For every eight bananas add four ounces of castor sugar, one pint of cold water, the juice of four oranges and one lemon.
  3. Mix these all together till into a pulp, colour with a little of Marshall’s Apricot Yellow, then rub through with a hair sieve.
  4. Partly freeze this mixture, and flavour with (for the above quantities) a wineglassful of maraschino and half a wineglassful of brandy.
  5. Then freeze dry.
  6. Fill up the banana cases with the sorbet, placing the cases, if the weather is warm, in the charged cave before filling them.
  7. Make them resume their original shapes as nearly as possible, and place them in the charged ice cave for about a quarter of an hour before serving.
  8. Arrange some apricot sorbet (see page 185) in a pile on a dish on a serviette or paper, place the prepared bananas round this, as shown in the engraving, and serve after the remove for a dinner party.
  9. This may also be served for a ball supper dish.
