2 tablespoons unsweetened orange juice
2 egg whites~room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch of salt

Combine strawberries through orange juice in container of electric blender. and process until smooth. Pour into a medium saucepan and cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring every now and then. Allow to cool, then pour into a mixing bowl and freeze until slushy, checking after 45 minutes.
Combine egg whites with cream of tartar and salt and beat until soft peaks form.
Beat strawberry mixture until fluffy and smooth. Fold in egg whites; freeze until firm.
Yield: 6 servings

Upon the Nipples of Julia's Breast: Have ye beheld (with much delight) A red rose peeping through a white? Or else a cherry (double graced) Within a lily? Center placed? Or ever marked the pretty beam A strawberry shows half drowned in cream?
