Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A method of making a quiescently frozen confection comprising the steps of mixing together water, pureed fruit and sweetener, to produce a solution in which said pureed fruit constitutes from about 10 to 40 weight percent of said solution, said sweetener constitutes from about 8 to 20 weight percent of said solution, and said water is added in an amount such that said solution has a total solids content of about 21 to 25 weight percent, pouring said solution into molds, and quiescently freezing said solution in said molds with a 0 to 10 percent overrun to produce the finished quiescently frozen confection.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
103 words
A method of making a quiescently frozen confection comprising the steps of mixing together water, pureed fruit and sweetener, to produce a solution in which said pureed fruit constitutes from about 10 to 40 weight percent of said solution, said sweetener constitutes from about 8 to 20 weight percent of said solution, and said water is added in an amount such that said solution has a total solids content of about 21 to 25 weight percent, pouring said solution into molds, and quiescently freezing said solution in said molds with a 0 to 10 percent overrun to produce the finished quiescently frozen confection.
