VANILLA ICE CREAM

1 quart of cream
1/2 pound of sugar
1 vanilla bean or two teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract

Put the sugar and half the cream in a double boiler over the fire. Split
the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and add them to the hot cream, and
add the bean broken into pieces. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and
strain through a colander. When this is cold, add the remaining cream and
freeze. This should be repacked and given two hours to ripen. Four would be
better.

This will serve six persons.

WALNUT ICE CREAM

1 quart of cream
1/2 pound of sugar
1 teaspoonful of vanilla
1 teaspoonful of caramel
1/2 pint of black walnut meats

Put the sugar and half the cream over the fire in a double boiler; when the
sugar is dissolved, stand it aside to cool. When cold, add the remaining
cream, the walnuts, chopped, and the flavoring, and freeze.

This will serve six persons.
