Italian Ice, Gelato and Ice Cream Recipes

[pizzatherapy]

Here are some Italian Ice and  gelato recipes:


Italian Ices

(Gelati)

Although it is in America that there is a greater consumption of ice
cream, it is in Italy that it was first made, and in various European
capitals it is the Italian gelatiere who prepares the frozen delicacy.
A few Italian recipes of gelati will then be acceptable, we believe,
as a conclusion to this little work.


Lemon Ice

(Gelato di limone)

Granulated sugar, 3/4 lb.
Water, a pint.
Lemons, three (good sized).

Boil the sugar in the water, with some little pieces of lemon peel, for
about ten minutes, in an uncovered kettle. When this syrup is cold,
squeeze the lemons one at the time, tasting the mixture to regulate the
degree of acidity. Then strain and put in the freezer packed with salt
and ice.

From Tony:

Libby's on Wooster St. in New Haven made the best Lemon Ice. They also made the best pastry. When we were kids it was a treat to go there and get ice. Wooster St. is the Little Italy of New Haven. It's the home of Pepe's,Sally's,The Spot, etc.


thanks, Tony!  I love Libby's!
