What did Agnes Marshall do for a living when she popularized ice cream ?
Take Tin Ice - Pots , fill them with any Sort of Cream you like , either plain or sweeten ’d , or Fruit in it ; shut your Pots very close ; to six Pots you must allow eighteen or twenty Pound of Ice , breaking the Ice very small ; there will be some great Pieces , which lay at the Bottom and Top : You must have a Pail , and lay some Straw at the Bottom ; then lay in your Ice , and put in amongst it a Pound of Bay - Salt ; set in your Pots of Cream , and 93 lay Ice and Salt between every Pot , that they may not touch ; but the Ice must lie round them on every Side ; lay a good deal of Ice on the Top , cover the Pail with Straw , set it in a Cellar where no Sun or Light comes , it will be froze in four Hours , but it may stand longer ; then take it out just as you use it ; hold it in your Hand and it will slip out .
