Cream (Lemon)
Source: Hildagonda J. Duckitt, 1891
Instructions
- Pare the thin rind from 2 large lemons and infuse it into a pint of the cream (1 quart of cream is used in all).
- Dissolve the isinglass, or soak it in a little cold milk; add the loaf sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Put the saucepan on the fire. Do not let it boil, but keep it near simmering till the sugar and isinglass are quite dissolved.
- Stir in the other pint of cream, then strain the mixture into a basin through a milk sieve.
- When nearly cold, stir in the juice of the two lemons.
- Pour into an oiled or buttered mould and leave in a cool place to set before turning out.
