Cherry Ice Cream Recipes

These once-commercial recipes for cherry ice cream are taken from the book "The Complete Confectioner, Pastry-Cook, and Baker" by Eleanor Parkinson, published by J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia, in 1864.

Made Using Ripe Cherries
Two pounds of cherries, one quart of cream, and twelve ounces of sugar or syrup; pound the cherries, with the stones, in a mortar, adding a few ripe gooseberries or currants if approved of; pass the pulp through a sieve, add the cream and sugar with the juice of two lemons and a little cochineal (red food coloring), mix, and freeze.

Made Using Cherry Preserves
With preserved fruit it is made the same way, adding a little noyau (a French liqueur), or a few bitter almonds pounded for the flavour of the kernel.

Bonus Recipe For Maraschino Cherry Ice Cream
Note: Instead of the liqueur that's called for, the juice from a jar of maraschino cherries can be used instead. Also, maraschino cherries (halved or chopped fine) make a tasty addition to the ice cream.

Take a quart of cream, put it into the ice pot (ice cream freezer) with six ounces of sugar, which you place in the ice; work or whisk it well about the sides with a whisk for five minutes to chill; add a glassful of Maraschino de Zara liqueur, work this well together; then whisk the whites of two eggs to a strong froth, add two ounces of sugar to them, mix this well with the cream mixture, and freeze to the required consistence.

This produces a very beautiful, soft, and mellow ice cream.

You can use this vintage cherry ice cream recipe to make a delicious old fashioned ice cream. Treat yourself and your family to a special dessert tonight.
