Lemon Creams

Ingredients

• 1 pint cream
• 2 dozen sweet almonds
• 3 glass sherry
• the rind and juice of 2 lemons

1. Blanch and chop the almonds, and put them into a jug with the cream; in another jug put the sherry, lemon-rind, strained juice, and sufficient pounded sugar to sweeten the whole nicely.
2. Pour rapidly from one jug to the other till the mixture is well frothed;
