_Method of working the freezing Apparatus_.--Put into the outer pail
some pounded ice, upon which strew some saltpetre; then fix the pewter
freezing-pot upon this, and surround it entirely with ice and saltpetre.
Wipe the cover and edges of the pot, pour in the preparation, and close
the lid; a quarter of an hour after, begin turning the freezing-pan from
right to left, and when the mixture begins to be firm round the sides of
the pot, stir it about with the slice or spattle, that the preparation
may be equally congealed. Close the lid again, keep working from right
to left, and, from time to time, remove the mixture from the sides, that
it may be smooth; and when perfectly frozen, it is ready to put in the
mould; the mould should then be placed in the ice again, where it should
remain until wanted for table.

rind of 2 lemons and the juice of 3.

_Mode_.--Put all the ingredients into a stewpan, carefully grating the

fire until the sugar is dissolved, and it begins to thicken: when of the
consistency of honey, it is done; then put it into small jars, and keep
in a dry place. This mixture will remain good 3 or 4 months. When made
into cheesecakes, add a few pounded almonds, or candied peel, or grated
sweet biscuit; line some patty-pans with good puff-paste, rather more
