In a large China bowl put a pint of port, and a pint of sherry, or other white wine; sugar to taste. Milk the bowl full. In twenty minutes cover it pretty high with clouted cream; grate over it nutmeg: put pounded cinnamon and nonpareil comfits.
Sack Cream.
Boil a pint of raw cream, the yelk of an egg well beaten, two or three spoonfuls of white wine, sugar, and lemonpeel; stir it over a gentle fire till it be as thick as rich cream; put it in a dish, and serve it cold, garnished with rusks or sippets of toasted bread.
A Froth to set on Cream, Custard, or Trifle, which looks and eats well.
Sweeten half a pound of the pulp of damsons, or any other sort of scalded fruit: put to it the whites of four eggs beaten, and beat the pulp with them, until it will stand as high as you choose; and being put on the cream, &c. with a spoon, it will take any form. It should be rough to imitate a rock.
Floating Island.
Mix three half pints of thin cream with a quarter of a pint of raisin wine, a little lemonjuice, orange flower water, and sugar; put into a dish for the middle of the table, and put on the cream a froth like the above, which may be made of raspberry or currantjelly.
Another way.
Scald a codlin before it is ripe, or any sharp apple, and pulpit through a sieve. Beat the whites of two eggs with sugar, and a spoonful of orange flower water; mix in by degrees the pulp, and beat all together until you have a large quantity of froth. Serve it on a raspberry cream; or you may colour the froth with beetroot, raspberry, or currantjelly, and set it on a white cream, having given it the flavour of lemon, sugar, and wine as above; or, put the froth on a custard.
