Currant Cream Ice.—Draw down the fruit exactly as for jelly-making, and when cool add it in the pro- portion of half a pint of this juice to one and a half pints of custard or whipped cream, sweetening it to taste. Blackberry or black currant juice is particularly good with whipped cream, but requires a little additional juice, as they are both rather dry; say a gill of red currant juice to each pint of black currant juice, or a few apples cooked with the blackberries. Another very delicate currant cream ice is made with raw red currant juice stirred into an equal quantity of sugar syrup, then added when cool to the whipped cream and frozen.
