*Strawberry Mousse
1 lb. strawberries
1 cup powdered sugar
1¹⁄₂ pints cream
Crush the strawberries and put them through a fine hair sieve. Put in an enamelled sauce-pan with a little sugar and stir continually over the fire till well mixed. Pour into a basin and set it on ice, stirring until it is cold. Whip the cream with the rest of the sugar. Mix with the fruit. Line a mould with paper. Fill it. Cover it with a round of paper and a lid, which should be sealed with a paste made of flour and water. Pack in ice and leave for an hour.
