Two and one-half pounds of sugar, three-quarters pound of chocolate,
one quarter pound of butter, half a pint of milk or cream.--_Mrs. W.
C. R._
CREAM CHOCOLATE.
One cupful of cream, with enough white sugar to thicken it. Boil till
thick, and when cold, roll up in little balls and put them on a dish
on which has been poured some melted chocolate. Then pour over them
with a spoon some melted chocolate. When quite cool, cut apart and
trim off the edges, if uneven. This cream should be seasoned with a
few drops of vanilla and the dish should be buttered.--_Miss N._
COCOANUT CARAMELS.
One-quarter pound Baker's chocolate (half cake), one-quarter pound
butter, two pounds nice brown sugar, one teacup rich milk. Stew half
an hour or till thick. Add a grated cocoanut. Stir till it begins to
boil again. Take from the fire, stir in a tablespoonful vanilla, and
pour into buttered dishes. When cool enough to handle, make into
balls, the size of a walnut and place on buttered dishes.--_Mrs. S.
T._
_Cocoanut Caramels._
Pour a teacup of boiling milk over one-quarter cake of pounded
chocolate. Let it steep an hour, then add one and one-quarter pounds
of white sugar, and the milk of a cocoanut. Boil till perfectly done.
Then remove from the fire, adding the grated cocoanut. Season with
vanilla, pour in buttered dishes, and cut in blocks.--_Mrs. W. C._
COCOANUT BALLS.
Wet two pounds of sugar with the milk of a cocoanut. Boil and stir
till it begins to granulate. Then stir in the cocoanut grated fine.
Boil a short time longer, then pour into buttered dishes, and as soon
as it can be handled make into balls.--_Mrs. J. M._
COCOANUT DROPS.
The white part of a grated cocoanut, whites of four eggs well beaten,
one-half pound sifted white sugar. Flavor with rose water or lemon.
Mix all as thick as can be stirred; lay in heaps half an inch apart,
on paper or on a baking-pan, in a hot oven. Take them out when they
begin to look yellowish.--_Mrs. R._
ALMOND MACAROONS.
One-half pound almonds, blanched and pounded, with a teaspoonful
essence of lemon, till a smooth paste. Add an equal quantity of sifted
white sugar and the whites of two eggs. Work well together with a
spoon. Dip your hand into water and work them into balls the size of a
nutmeg. Lay them on white paper an inch apart, then dip your hand in
water and smooth them. Put them in a slow oven for three-quarters of
an hour. Cocoanut may be used instead of almonds.--_Mrs. M. G. H._
WINE.
Be sure to get perfectly ripe fruit for making wine, but do not gather
it immediately after rain, as it is watery then and less sweet than
usual.
Be very careful to stop the wine securely as soon as fermentation
ceases, as otherwise it will lose its strength and flavor. Watch
carefully to see when fermentation ceases.
