Cold Apricot Soup
Preamble
This dish appears on an undated menu, but as it is on a menu that also includes Chicken Wings Winston, the menu can be dated, at the earliest, from somewhere in the middle of 1977. But as it is a cold soup, and other items of this same menu are also cold dishes, it is reasonable to suppose that this is a summer menu.
Ingredients
1 cup Fruit to 1 1/2 cup of water
Sugar to taste
Lemon Rind
Potato Flour
Method
Cook fruit with sugar. Discard stones and vitamise pulp or put it through rough sieve. Put the pulp into the water in which fruit had been boiled, add lemon rind and potato flour.
Simmer for a few moments and season with more sugar or lemon juice if necessary. Serve cold with whipped sweet cream.
Flavour can be improved or varied by adding at the simmering point some fresh raspberries.
