Lemon Cream - from 1979 Community Cookbook

[dem in texas]

3 lemons
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 pt. heavy cream
Squeeze juice from lemons into dessert serving bowl. Stir in sugar. Set dish on floor with newspaper spread under it. Stand on stool or small ladder to pour your cream into the lemon juice. The higher you stand, the more froth there will be. Let stand in refrigerator overnight. Serve chilled the following day.

Comment: froth makes nearly solid crust in refrigerator. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Refrigerator time: 8 hours. Serves 6.

As Mrs Kipp says, you won't believe her recipe but it's real and very, very good.

1. Very Interesting Recipe

However, it seems to me that pouring the heavy cream into a small(ish) bowl of lemon juice from any height over about three inches would cause all of both the lemon juice and the heavy cream to slosh out onto the newspaper; thus leaving very little liquid remaining in the serving bowl to refrigerate for those eight hours...and I further doubt there would be sufficient 'anything' to serve six folks from those meager ingredients. Now I actually believe Mrs. Kipp when she said I won't believe her recipe!

7. I think "dessert serving bowl" may mean a large bowl, like you might serve a trifle in

I can't see any other way it would work!!

Definitely a strange recipe indeed.

8. I'll Step Out (Now) To Wipe That Lemony Curd From My Face...

I see your point, wherein the 'dessert serving bowl' could well be a much larger vessel than I had considered originally!

2. The last time I heard of frothy mixtures

was when Santorum ran for office. I guess the lemon adds a new twist to the old recipe.

4. What does pouring in the cream from a great height do that a whisk wouldn't?

I've never heard of a recipe like that outside of Edward Lear.

5. Doesn't the lemon juice make the cream curdle?

6. Just a crazy recipe

Also had a recipe for cheese wafers using Rice Crispies. I have a block of sharp cheddar cheese and a box of Rice Crispies on hand, might try this one.
