There is nothing in the summer like ices, sherbets, ice creams etc. for the young and the young at heart. When I was young my mother was always the first to want to go get ice cream or to make ice cream. I suspect it had more to do with her love of ices etc., than her desire that her children experience the taste of these yummy summer treats.
I remember one time shortly after the birth of my youngest son, and my mother presented me with a brand new electric ice cream freezer for the occasion of my birthday. She sat there and visited with me and then told me that she was going to be entertaining her lady friends and she should have purchased two; in order that she have one also. Oh well she said; she really did not use one very often and there was no reason for her to purchase two of them. Maybe I would loan her mine and she would use it, return it, after her little party. That way she would not have to purchase one for herself; when she was after all only going to use it the one time. I ate ice cream in her home on many occasions after that. My birthday present was never seen in my home again; however, we have purchased and enjoyed many other ice cream freezers.
My daughter recently visited from out of town with a car full of teenagers. The made frequent trips down to the local country store for shaved ices. Plus, we all enjoyed ice cream. For us, frozen desserts is a family tradition.
My father-in-law wrote many commercial ice cream recipes over his lengthy history in the business. Many of his original ice cream recipes are used to this day by major manufacturers of ice cream.
BLACK RASPBERRY ICE
2 teaspoons plane gelatin
¼ cup lemon juice
¾ cup cold water
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
¾ cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 2/3 cups concentrated black raspberry juice
2 egg whites (If you use the yolks the color of the ice will not be as attractive. Not a good idea.)
Sprinkle the gelatin over ¼ cup of the water and let stand 5 minutes to soften. Combine the remaining water with ½ cup of the sugar and heat just to boiling. Add the softened gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Cool. Add the fruit juices and lemon rind. Pour quickly into clean can of ice cream freezer and freeze according to directions that come with freezer, until almost firm. Add the salt to the egg whites and beat until stiff. Add the remaining ¼ cup sugar gradually and beat until thick and smooth. Add to mixture in freezer and continue according to directions that came with your freezer. Makes about 1 ½ quarts.

Combine cranberry purée with applesauce, sugar and orange juice. Beat chilled cream until very stiff.
