Frozen Dainties
Ingredients
Directions
The flavor is what makes frozen dainties pleasing to the palate, and for flavoring extracts there are none that equal SLADE’S. Many of the extracts now being sold are made from coal-tar ethers and should be avoided by the careful housewife to whom is entrusted the health and comfort of the family. All danger and annoyance attending the use of adulterated and poor quality flavor- ings can be avoided by insisting upon having only SLADE’S Flavoring Extracts, which are always absolutely pure and prepared from the best selected fruits and oils and are entirely free from the artificial chemical ethers so com- monly used.
For true flavors, Slade’s will be found to be the most economical and pleasing because of their superior excel- lence.
Frozen Caramel Custard. — Stir one cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan over the fire until it melts and becomes caramelized. Cool the caramel a little and then add it carefully, using a long-handed spoon, to a quart of scalded milk. Add also one-quarter cup of Slade’s Quick Cooking Tapioca and cook until the tapioca is transparent. Beat the yolks of four eggs slightly, add half a cup of sugar and half-teaspoonful of salt and cook in the hot mixture for a few moments, stirring all the time. Remove from the fire and turn at once into the can of the freezer. When thoroughly cold add one pint of cream, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of Slade’s Vanilla Extract and freeze. In packing the freezer, use three parts of ice to one of salt. — Mrs. J. M. Hill.
Slade’s Vanilla Ice Cream. — Soften one-fourth a pack- age of gelatine in one-fourth a cup of cold milk and dis- solve in a pint of scalded milk, add one cup of sugar, «tir until dissolved, let cool, then add a second pint of milk, one cup of double cream and one tablespoonful of Slade’s Vanilla Extract. In freezing use three measures of crushed ice to one of salt.
Serve in sherbet glasses. Put two tablespoonfuls of maple syrup in each glass; add a rounding tablespoonful of the frozen cream and sprinkle the top of the cream with English walnuts, chopped rather coarse. — Mrs. Janet M. Hill, Boston, Mass.
