Filled with Whipped Cream and Fresh Strawberries

Source: Eliza Acton, 1845

Instructions

  1. Take a mould of any sort that will serve to form the basket on, just dip the edge of some macaroons into melted barley sugar, and fasten them together with it.
  2. Take it out of the mould, keep it in a dry place until wanted.
  3. Then fill it high with whipped strawberry cream which has been drained on a sieve from the preceding day, and stick very fine ripe strawberries over it.
  4. It should not be filled until just before it is served.
