Strawberry Spongada.—Stalk a quart of straw-berries, and sprinkle them well with 3oz. or 4oz. of caster sugar, then crush them through a fine sieve. Have ready a syrup made by boiling together 4oz. of loaf sugar and half a pint of water for twenty minutes, and beat this into the strawberry pulp for five minutes, working it over ice; then stir in quickly and lightly the frothed whites of four eggs and a pint of stiffly whipped cream, and freeze in the usual way. This is not, strictly speaking, a spongada, though it goes by that name.
