Colville Bomb
Bombe à la Colville
Boil one and a half pints of milk with a bit of cinnamon about an inch long, the peel of a lemon and of an orange, and two bayleaves; let these infuse for about ten minutes, then stir it on to eight raw yolks of eggs; return this to the stewpan, and stir over the fire until the mixture thickens; then add eight tablespoonfuls of Marshall’s Strawberry Syrup, two tablespoonfuls of strawberry pulp, two and a half ounces of castor sugar, and three pounded bananas; colour with a teaspoonful of Marshall’s Carmine and the same quantity of Marshall’s Apricot Yellow; add the juice of an orange and the juice of a lemon, then pass the whole through the tammy; flavour with a wineglass of brandy, a teaspoonful of vanilla essence, and two tablespoonfuls of Maraschino syrup. Partly freeze the mixture, then mix in half a pint of stiffly-whipped cream to which has been added half an ounce of castor sugar; refreeze, and put into a bomb mould, which must contain a pipe, place this in the charged ice cave for three to three and a half hours. When frozen remove the cover from the bomb, and fill up the space formed by the pipe with an iced macedoine of fruits (see recipe); then turn out on to the dish, and serve with the sauce prepared as below over it.
