A vintage recipe for Peach Marlow

One of the things I have discovered about vintage recipes is that sometimes measurements can be optional. I wonder- just what sized marshmallows are intended for this recipe. I think it would be safe to assume that this recipe for Peach Marlow would use the traditional size of marshmallows (that we use for s’mores) and neither the giant ones sold today or the little ones. Another thing I’ve discovered is how they will leave out instructions- here we have the example of assuming that people already know how to whip cream and that they are doing it while allowing the peach/ marshmallow mixture to cool. (Of course NOW I’ve discovered a typo in the PDFs I created… sighs… back to fixing that)

Ingredients

• 20 marshmallows
• 1 cup crushed peaches
• ¼ cup water
• ½ pint whipping cream
• 3 Tbs sugar

Instructions

• Sprinkle the crushed peaches with sugar and let stand while the marshmallows and water are steaming.
• When the liquid stage is reached, add the sweetended peaches and allow to cool.
• When quite cold and slightly stiffened, carefully combine with the cream that has been whipped stiff.
• Pour into trays and freeze.

Notes

If it is desired to use canned peaches instead of fresh fruit, use ½ cup from the juice instead of the water, only 18 marshmallows, omit the sugar and add ½ tsp vanilla. Follow the instructions as above.
