Banana Pudding.— Peel and slice across six or
eight good bananas, and marinade them with a little
sugar, lemon juice, and rum or brandy. Have ready
one a half pints of rich custard, and freeze it to a
a thickish batter, then add to it half a pint of stiffly
whipped cream, a little of the same liqueur or spirit
as was used to marinade the bananas, and lastly stir
in the fruit. Pack it all into a mould, and freeze.
Turn out, and serve with more bananas marinaded
as before, and stand on ice or in the ice cave till
nearly frozen. This mixture is often served in large
banana skins carefully stripped off the original fruit,
and then piled up on a dish.
