Put it on the fire stirring continually and when it begins to stick to the ladle

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.
