By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Gloria Pitzer’s Cookbook – Best Of The Recipe Detective (Balboa Press; Jan. 2018, p. 253). [A revised reprint of Gloria Pitzer’s Better Cookery Cookbook (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; May 1983, 3rd Edition).]
INGREDIENTS:
1 pint each: vanilla, chocolate, pistachio and strawberry ice creams – softened
1 cup each: toasted almonds, sliced, and shelled pistachios, chopped
10-ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained and halved
2 tablespoons rum flavoring
INSTRUCTIONS:
Lightly oil a ½-gallon (2-quart) freezer container. Spread half the softened vanilla ice cream over the bottom; then, spread half of the softened chocolate over that. Divide the softened pistachio and strawberry ice creams, each, in half. Into half of the pistachio ice cream, mix the almonds and pistachios. Combine the cherries with the rum flavoring, mixing into one half of the strawberry ice cream. Spread the half of the pistachio ice cream containing the nuts over the chocolate layer in the freezer container. Then spread the strawberry-rum ice cream mixture over that. Repeat the layers with the remaining ice creams until all have been used. Pack the mixture down gently, but firmly. Seal tight and freeze until firm enough to scoop. Makes ½ gallon.
