France. Associated with France by the book is about French cookery (Cooking, French); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Ingredients
- one pound of fine very ripe strawberries
- ten ounces of powdered sugar
- one pint of Chantilly cream
Method
- Select one pound of fine very ripe strawberries, and put them in a silver timbale.
- Sprinkle them with ten ounces of powdered sugar and one liqueur-glass full of Grand-Marnier liqueur;
- cover the timbale and keep it on ice for half an hour.
- Then rub the strawberries through a sieve;
- and, with their purée, make a preparation after the directions given under Fruit Ices.
- Freeze this preparation in the freezer, and, when it is set, combine with it one pint of Chantilly cream.
- Now cover the freezer;
- surround it afresh with ice if necessary, and keep it thus for thirty-five to forty minutes.
- This done, dish the ice preparation with care in pyramid form in crystal bowls.
- N.B.—This ice gets its name from its colour, which should be that of the western sky during a fine sunset.
