Jewish cooking
Wash and pick over carefully, drain off all the water, sprinkle powdered
sugar over them and serve with cream or milk.
RASPBERRIES
Pick over carefully, set on ice, and serve in a dish unsugared.
Strawberries may be served as above.
RASPBERRIES AND CURRANTS
These berries, mixed, make a very palatable dish. Set on ice until ready
to serve. Then pile in a mound, strewing plenty of pulverized sugar
among them. As you do this, garnish the base with white or black
currants (blackberries look pretty also) in bunches. Eat with cream or
wine.
STRAWBERRIES
Pick nice ripe berries, pile them in a fruit dish. Strew plenty of
pulverized sugar over them and garnish with round slices or quarters of
oranges, also well sugared.
BANANAS
May be sliced according to fancy, either round or lengthwise. Set on ice
until required. Then add sugar, wine or orange juice. In serving, dish
out with a tablespoon of whipped cream.
CHILLED BANANAS
Cut ice-cold bananas down lengthwise, and lay these halves on a plate
with a quarter of a lemon and a generous teaspoon of powdered sugar. Eat
with a fork or spoon after sprinkling with lemon juice and dipping in
sugar.
GRAPE FRUIT
Cut in half, with a sharp knife, remove seeds, and sprinkle with sugar,
or loosen pulp; cut out pithy white centre; wipe knife after each
cutting, so that the bitter taste may be avoided. Pour in white wine or
sherry and sprinkle with powdered sugar, and let stand several hours in
ice-chest to ripen. Serve cold in the shell. Decorate with maraschino
cherry.
ORANGES
Cut an orange in half crosswise. Place on an attractive dish, scoop out
the juice and pulp with a spoon and sweeten if necessary.
PINEAPPLE
Peel the pineapple, dig out all the eyes, then cut from the core
downward, or chop in a chopping-bowl, and set on ice until ready to
serve. Then sugar the fruit well, and form into a mound in a dish.
Garnish the base well with leaves or small fruit of any kind. You may
squeeze the juice of one orange over all.
PEACHES
Peel fine, ripe freestone peaches. Cover plentifully with pulverized
sugar, and serve with whipped cream. The cream should be ice cold.
Peaches should not be sliced until just before dining, or they will be
very apt to change color.
WATERMELONS
Use only those melons that are perfectly ripe. Do not select those that
are very large in circumference; a rough melon with a bumpy surface is
the best. Either cut in half or plug and fill with the following: Put on
to boil some pale sherry or claret and boil down to quite a thick syrup
with sugar. Pour this into either a plugged melon or over the half-cut
melon, and lay on ice for a couple of hours before serving. If you use
claret you may spice it while boiling with whole spices.
SNOWFLAKES
Grate a large cocoanut into a fruit dish, and mix it thoroughly and
lightly with pulverised sugar. Serve with whipped or plain sweet cream.
