Lemon or Orange Ice

For a lemon ice boil together 20 minutes 2 cups sugar with 4 cups water, or until it syrups, then add 3/4 cup strained lemon juice, let get cold, and then freeze. Proceed the same for orange ice, only use less lemon-about 1/4 cup lemon juice -and 2 cups orange juice, with the grated rind of 2 oranges.

Strawberry, Raspberry and Currant Ices

To 1 1/2 cups sugar add 4 cups water and boil 20 minutes, or until it syrups, then add either 2 cups strawberry, raspberry or currant juice (a mixture of half raspberry and half currant is nice), and in the case of strawberry or raspberry alone, add to the former 1 tablesp and to the latter 2 tablesp lemon juice. Let the mixture get cold, and then freeze. To obtain the pure fruit juice, mash, heat a little, but add no water, and squeeze through a cheese cloth bag. Strain again if the liquid does not look clear enough.
