Put one pint of canned or fresh tomatoes and one quart of water, in
a granite stew pan. When boiling, thicken with three table-spoons of
graham flour mixed with cold water. Add one quart milk and stir until
it boils, this prevents curdling. Season to taste. Can be made in ten
minutes.
PUREE OF SPLIT PEAS.
One cup of split peas. Soak over night. Put on in cold water. Boil two
hours slowly. Put through the colander. Heat in the kettle a cup of
sweet cream, into which has been stirred two large spoonfuls graham
flour, or that of entire wheat, and a pinch of salt. When it thickens,
return the peas to the kettle and stir. Then set back.
LEMON JELLY.
Moisten two table-spoons corn starch, stir into one pint boiling water;
add the juice of two lemons and one-third cup of sugar. Grate in a
little of the rind. Put in moulds to cool.
LEMON GELATINE.
Soak one ounce of gelatine in a quart of water. When dissolved, pour it
in a saucepan and let it come to a boil. Add the juice of three lemons,
a little grated rind, and one cup of sugar. Strain through a thin
cloth, put into moulds, and set on ice to cool.
SAGO JELLY.
Soak five table-spoons sago in half a pint cold water thirty minutes,
then add one cup sugar and two table-spoons lemon juice. Pour over
three cups boiling water; boil the whole in a farina boiler one hour;
pour into moulds; when cold turn out and serve with fruit juice.
SAGO CURRANT JELLY.
Soak in cold water five table-spoons sago one hour; strain off the
water, add half pint currant juice (strained); boil slowly fifteen
minutes, stirring occasionally, then add half a cup sugar. Pour into
moulds; serve the following day without sauce. Cranberries or other
acid fruits can be used. Makes a very tempting dish for an invalid.
NUTRINA OR BRAN JELLY.
1st. Go to the mill _yourself_, and watch the miller while he gives you
clean wheat bran.
2d. Have a kettle of boiling soft water on the stove. Sift with one
hand, stirring briskly all the while with a paddle or wooden spoon,
held in the other, until the mass is about the consistency of a thick
gruel. Let this boil slowly two hours. Place a sieve over the top of
a pan and pour this gruel in it to drain. When well drained place the
pan on the stove and allow it to come to a boil. Mix with cold water
a spoonful or so of sifted graham flour, enough to bring the boiling
gruel to about the consistency of a smooth gravy, or thick gruel.
Dip into moulds--coffee cups are nice for this--and allow to become
cold, when, if right, it will be a trembling, delicate jelly. Perhaps
it will be necessary to experiment a little, as the first trial may not
be entirely successful, but depend upon it, the outcome is well worth
painstaking.
Nutrina accompanied with various sauces makes a welcome dessert. People
who use milk or cream would like nutrina with a cream sauce. Nutrina
can not be too highly recommended, for it suits so wide a range of
conditions.--_Dr. M. Augusta Fairchild._
