Mix the melted chocolate with the cream, together with two ounces of gelatine that has been soaked in water. When the gelatine is melted and well mixed strain the whole through a cloth into a basin. Stir on ice till the contents begin to set and mix in three pints of wellwhipped cream. E. D. White. BAKED-APPLE ICE-CREAM.

Finish freezing and set away for two hours. Mrs. Amy Burns. CURRANT ICE. Take one pint of currant juice, one pound of sugar and one pint of water. Place the ingredients in the freezer and when partly frozen add the whites of three eggs well beaten. Delilah Loche. LEMON ICE. Dissolve one-half package of gelatine in one pint of cold water.
