Strawberry or Raspberry Ice.
1 quart berries. Extract the juice and strain.
1 pint sugar—dissolved in the juice.
1 lemon—juice only.
½ pint of water.
RIPE FRUIT FOR DESSERT.
Oranges
May be put on whole in fruit-baskets, or the skin be cut in eighths half way down, separated from the fruit and curled inward, showing half the orange white, the other yellow. Or, pass a sharp knife lightly around the fruit, midway between the stem and blossom end, cutting through the rind only. Slip the smooth curved handle of a teaspoon carefully between the peel and body of the orange, and gently work it all around until both upper and lower halves are free, except at stem and blossom. Turn the rind, without tearing it, inside out, making a white cup at each end—the round white fruit between them.
