Just in time for July: the simplest recipe for homemade ice cream we've ever uncovered. Drawn from
Buckeye Cookery, published in 1877, this delicious dessert adds a little sweetness to cool fruits. Just be sure to add sugar until the juice is "thick" but still viscous. An unbelievable refreshment to end a steamy July day.
12 lemons OR (approxomately) 10 oranges
white sugar
cream
"Squeeze a dozen lemons, make the juice quite thick with white sugar, stir into it very slowly three quarts of cream, and freeze.
"Orange ice-cream is prepared in the same way, using less sugar."
