Strawberry Whip--no. 1 Recipe

Ingredients for Strawberry Whip--no. 1

• 3 egg whites
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 pint strawberries
• A few grains salt

Instructions

1. Rub the berries through a colander.
2. Add the sugar.
3. Put the whites into a mixing bowl.
4. Put the berries and sugar in with the unbeaten whites.
5. (Do not think there is a mistake in this recipe, and beat the whites before adding the berries to them.) Beat all together till very stiff, which will require from twenty to thirty minutes.
6. When done it should be stiff enough to hold its shape.
7. When the ingredients are properly beaten, this recipe will make from one and one-half to two quarts; for the whipping makes it very light.
8. Serve cold with small cookies or lady fingers.
9. Custard sauce may be served with it.
