=Bacon and Calf's Liver.=--Pour boiling water over thin slices of calf's
liver and let stand ten minutes. Drain, pat dry and dredge with flour,
seasoning with pepper and a little salt. Lay slices of bacon in a
greased bag and on top put a layer of the liver, seal and bake fifteen
minutes. Serve on hot platter.
=Baked Pork Chops.=--Season with salt and pepper, then cover each side
of the chops with a forcemeat made moist enough to stick to them. Place
in a well-greased bag, adding a spoonful of water, seal and bake
twenty-five minutes.
=Pork Chops and Sweet Potatoes.=--Select six sweet potatoes of uniform
size. Peel, cut in half lengthwise, brush each piece all over with
melted butter and dredge lightly with powdered sugar. Place in a
thoroughly buttered bag flat side down. On top of them put pork chops,
seasoned, rolled in flour and from which the fat has been partly
trimmed. Seal and bake in hot oven on broiler for twenty-five minutes.
Pork chops cooked in this way are as tender as chicken, not hard in
fibre as they usually are when fried.
=Ham and Scalloped Potatoes.=--Peel and slice potatoes very thin. Put a
layer in the bottom of a buttered bag and on top of the potatoes a layer
of raw ham sliced very thin, and with the most of the fat trimmed off.
Sprinkle with a little flour. Add little bits of butter rolled in flour
and salt and pepper to season. Proceed in this way until the desired
amount is obtained, having the top layer of potatoes sprinkled with
flour and bits of butter. Turn in enough sweet milk or cream to come
even with the top layer, and bake twenty minutes or until the potatoes
are tender. The trimmings from the fat of the ham can be used in place
of the butter if preferred. One of the wooden cooking dishes is
convenient here.
=Ham, Spinach and Lamb Chops.=--Place two or more slices of ham in a
wood cookery dish. Spread over it the contents of a small can of spinach
and on top of the spinach place Frenched lamb chops. Put in greased
paper bag, and surround by six potatoes prepared for baking. Close the
bag, and bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven. This makes a very easy
dinner--as the whole meal can be cooked in the oven without having to be
watched--and the mistress of the house can be ready dressed to entertain
guests without danger of spoiling her frock by spattering grease.
=Stuffed Fresh Ham or Shoulder.=--Have the knuckle and bone removed,
wash, wipe dry, season with salt and pepper and fill the bone space with
a forcemeat to which apples or stewed prunes have been added. Sew or
skewer into shape, then lay skin side up in a large, well-greased bag.
Add a half cup of water or cider, a few slices of onion, seal and bake
for fifteen minutes in a very hot oven, then reduce the heat one-half
and bake an hour.
