Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 118, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 May 1916 — Cocoanut Ice. [ARTICLE]

Cocoanut Ice.

Half a pound of desiccated cocoanut, two pounds of lump sugar, half a pint of water, and two drops of cochineal are needed for the ice. Boil the sugar and water together, then take the sauce pan off the fire, shake the cocoanut in, and boil again for a few minutes, stirring all the time (a wooden spoon suiting the purpose is best). Grease a shallow tin and pour half the mixture Into it. To the jest add two drops of cochineal and stir well In; then pour it on top of the other half.
