First dissolve 8 ounces of Coxe’s gelatin in ½ gallon of hot water; now filter 7 gallons of cold water into a ten-gallon fount; add 1½ gallons of simple syrup and 8 ounces of vanilla extract; now strain the gelatin water into a dishpan and color a blood red; add it to the balance in ten-gallon fount and charge to 160° solid. After the fount is charged the blood red will turn into a delicate pink and the vanilla kills the taste of the gelatin.
ABOUT SUNDAES.
This has become one of the most popular dishes served at the soda fountain. The one thing that should be first in your mind is the service used. Your champagne glasses, or your Sundae cups should be either silver, glass or china, but always thin and dainty in design. A special spoon smaller in size than your soda spoons and a small silver tray should be used.
MERRY WIDOW SUNDAE.
Put one disher of Ice Cream in a Champagne glass, then cover with crushed cherries, place nuts on crushed cherries, then crushed pineapple on nuts; place five cherries around edge of glass and one on top. This is a big hit of the large cities.
TANGERINE SUNDAE.
Take a Tangerine orange cut in half, remove the fruit. Care should be taken not to break the skin. Fill the half with vanilla ice cream, now pour on a ladle of crushed orange over the cream. Cut some long narrow strips of the orange peel, about 4 of them and place them on ice cream, running up and down.
