Peach Parfait

1 cup mashed fresh or canned peaches

1 cup sugar

⅓ cup water

2 egg whites

Juice of 1 orange

1 pt. heavy cream, whipped

Few drops bitter almond

Boil sugar (if canned peaches are used, reduce amount of sugar to ¾ cup) and water together until it threads, and pour gently into the egg whites which have been beaten stiff, whipping constantly. Combine the peaches and orange juice. Beat in the egg-white mixture. Stir briskly until cool and then fold in the whipped cream and almond, which should be used sparingly. Pour into mold and freeze.
