SAUCES FOR ICE CREAMS
HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE
1/2 cupful of cream or condensed milk
2 ounces of chocolate
1 cupful of sugar
1 teaspoonful of vanilla
Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and stir over the fire until they reach boiling point, boil until the mixture slightly hardens when dropped into cold water. Add the vanilla, turn at once into the sauceboat and send to the table. This must be sufficiently thin to dip nicely over the ice cream.
MAPLE SAUCE
1 cupful of sugar
1 teaspoonful of lemon juice
1 cupful of water
1 teaspoonful of maple flavoring
Put half the sugar in an iron saucepan and stand it over the fire until it melts and browns, add hastily the water, the remaining sugar and the lemon juice, and boil for about two minutes; take from the fire and add the flavoring. This may be served plain, or with chopped fruit or nuts added.
CLARET SAUCE
Boil one cupful of sugar and a half cupful of water with a saltspoonful of cream of tartar for five minutes. Take from the fire and add one cupful of claret, and stand aside until icy cold.
