In many parts of the country it is quite difficult to get good cream. For that reason, I have given a group of creams, using part milk and part cream, but it must be remembered that it takes smart juggling to make ice cream from milk. By far better use condensed milk, with enough water or milk to rinse out the cans. Ordinary fruit creams may be made with condensed milk, which, of course, is cheaper than ordinary milk and cream. In places where neither cream nor condensed milk can be purchased, a fair ice cream is made by adding two tablespoons of olive oil to each quart of milk.

The cream for Philadelphia Ice Cream should be rather rich, but not double cream. If pure raw cream is stirred rapidly, it swells and becomes frothy, like the beaten whites of eggs, and is whipped cream. To prevent this in making Philadelphia Ice Cream, one-half of the cream is scalded, and when it is very cold, the remaining half of raw cream is added. This gives the smooth, light, and rich consistency which makes these creams so different from others. USE OF FRUITS Use fresh fruits in the summer and the best canned unsweetened fruits in the winter. If sweetened fruits must be used, cut down the given quantity of sugar.

Where acidic fruits are used, they should be added to the cream after it is partly frozen. TIME FOR FREEZING The time for freezing varies according to the quality of cream or milk or water; water ices require a longer time than ice creams. It is not advised to freeze the mixtures too rapidly; they are apt to be coarse, not smooth; and if they are churned before the mixture is icy cold, they will be greasy or buttery. The average time for freezing two quarts of cream should be ten minutes; it takes but a minute or two longer for larger quantities. DIRECTIONS FOR FREEZING Pound the ice in a large bag with a mallet, or use an ordinary ice shaver. The finer the ice, the less time it takes to freeze the cream.

A four-quart freezer will require ten pounds of ice, and a quart and a pint of coarse rock salt. You may pack the freezer with a layer of ice three inches thick, then a layer of salt one inch thick, or mix the ice and salt in the tub and shovel it around the freezer. Before beginning to pack the freezer, turn the crank to see that all the machinery is in working order. Then open the can and turn in the mixture that is to be frozen. Turn the crank slowly and steadily until the mixture begins to freeze, then more rapidly until it is completely frozen. If the freezer is properly packed, it will take fifteen minutes to freeze the mixture.

Philadelphia Ice Creams are not good if frozen too quickly. TO REPACK After the cream is frozen, wipe off the lid of the can and remove the crank; take off the lid, being very careful not to allow any salt to fall into the can. Remove the dasher and scrape it off. Take a large knife or steel spatula, scrape the cream from the sides of the can, and work and pack it down until it is perfectly smooth. Put the lid back on the can, and put a cork in the hole from which the dasher was taken. TO MOLD ICE CREAMS, ICES OR PUDDINGS If you wish to pack ice cream and serve it in forms or shapes, it must be molded after the freezing. TO MOLD ICE CREAMS, ICES OR PUDDINGS If you wish to pack ice cream and serve it in forms or shapes, it must be molded after the freezing.

The handiest of all of these molds is either the brick or the melon mold. After the cream is frozen rather stiff, prepare a tub or bucket of coarsely chopped ice, with one-half less salt than you use for freezing. To each ten pounds of ice, allow one quart of rock salt. Sprinkle a little rock salt in the bottom of your bucket or tub, then put over a layer of cracked ice, another layer of salt and cracked ice, and on this place your mold, which is not filled, but is covered with a lid, and pack it all around, leaving the top, of course, to pack later on. Take your freezer near this tub. Remove the lid from the mold, and pack in the cream, smoothing it down until you have filled it to overflowing.

Smooth the top with a spatula or limber knife, cover with a sheet of waxed paper, and adjust the lid. Have a strip of muslin or cheesecloth dipped in hot paraffin to quickly bind the seam of the lid. This will remove all danger of salt water entering the pudding. Now cover the mold thoroughly with ice and salt. Make sure that your packing tub or bucket has a hole below the top of the mold, so that the salt water will be drained off. If you are packing in small molds, each mold, as fast as it is closed, should be wrapped in wax paper and put down into the salt and ice.

These must be filled quickly and packed. Molds should stand two hours or longer. TO REMOVE ICE CREAMS, ICES AND PUDDINGS FROM MOLDS Ice cream may be molded in the freezer; you will then have a perfectly round smooth mold, which serves very well for puddings that are to be garnished, and saves a great deal of trouble and extra expense for salt and ice. As cold water is warmer than the ordinary freezing mixture, after you lift the can or mold, wipe off the salt, hold it for a minute under cold water, then quickly wipe the top and bottom and remove the lid. Loosen the pudding with a limber knife, hold the mold a little slanted, give it a shake, and nine times out of ten it will come out quickly, having the perfect shape of the can or mold. If the cream still sticks and refuses to come out, wipe the mold with a towel soaked in warm water.

Hot water spoils the gloss of puddings, and unless you know exactly how to use it, the cream will be too melted to garnish. All frozen puddings, water ices, sherbets, and sorbets are frozen and molded according to these directions. QUANTITIES FOR SERVING The quantities given in these recipes are arranged in equal amounts so that for a smaller number of people they can be easily divided. Each quart of ice cream will serve, in dessert plates, four people. In stem ice cream dishes, silver or glass, it will serve six people. A quart of ice cream or sherbet will fill ten small sherbet stem glasses, to serve with the main course at dinner.
