Women -- Health and hygiene
To two and a half cups sifted graham flour add three cups sifted white
flour. Mix with two cups sweet cream, one teaspoon soda and two of
cream tartar. Roll the dough into two oblong sheets about a quarter of
an inch thick. Put layers of fruit between and on them, using one cup
each of chopped raisins and dried currants. Roll closely, pinching the
ends firmly together to secure the fruit. Bake in a moderate oven one
hour.--_Hygienic Cookery._
HUCKLEBERRY CAKE.
Beat together one-half cup butter and two of sugar. Then add one cup
of sweet milk, three of flour and four eggs. One tea-spoon of soda
dissolved in a little hot water. Add last one quart ripe berries.
FRUIT SAUCE.
Boil the juice of any acid fruit, adding an equal part of water. To
one pint put one table-spoon of sugar and one tea-spoon corn starch.
This makes a clear juice about the consistence of syrup, and is very
desirable to eat with wheat, mush, gems, griddle cakes and plain
puddings. Jellies and jams can be made into fruit sauce by adding four
parts of water, and thickening. Will not require sugar. These are
valuable sauces for invalids and children. Once learning how delicious
they are, persons in health will demand them. In many of the small
fruits the seeds are very objectionable. This method of using the
fruits obviates that.
PEACHES A LA STRAWBERRY.
Ripe peaches cut in small pieces, with soft, mild eating apples in the
proportion of three peaches to one apple, mixed with sugar, and left to
stand two or three hours, makes excellent mock strawberries. _Kansas
Home Cook Book._
BAKED APPLES.
Pare tart apples; core with a corer or small knife. Place them in pans
and fill cavities with sugar. Bake in a _slow_ oven until tender. If
sweet apples are used, it is better not to pare; sugar not needed.
APPLE SNOW.
Take apples, not very sweet ones, and bake till soft and brown. Then
remove the skins and cores; when cool, beat them smooth and fine; add
half cup of granulated sugar and the white of one egg. Beat till the
mixture will hold on your spoon. Serve with soft custard.--_V. Mills._
BAKED PEARS.
Take a stone jar, and fill it with alternate layers of pears (without
paring) and a little sugar, until the jar is full, then pour in
as much water as the jar will hold. Bake in a moderate oven three
hours.--_Kansas Home Cook Book._
BAKED PIE-PLANT.
Cut two pounds of pie-plant into a pudding dish, sprinkle over it half
a cup of sugar and half a cup of rolled bread crumbs or granula. Add
water until the pie-plant is two-thirds covered. Bake in a quick oven,
thirty or forty minutes. This method of preparing pie-plant removes the
medicinal taste, and makes an acceptable spring dish.
