That appetizer tray will be all the more popular if you have these cheese tidbits on it: mix together cream and blue cheese, roll in balls and roll in crushed potato chips. Serve on toothpicks. Canned cling peach halves make a pretty salad if you fill them with a single cooked and pitted prune and put together with cottage cheese. Ham sandwiches for a late snack will be ever so welcome if you put them together with some very thinly sliced apples, mayonnaise and lettuce. Stuffed peppers with ham or chicken are something of a novelty. Fill the parboiled green peppers with a mixture of ham or chicken mixed with cooked rice and seasonings including basil. Sprinkle with cheese and bake. Serve with heated tomato soup, as a sauce. Tender green beans, fresh out of the garden, do proudly as your vegetable for company dinners. Cook them with a bit of sugar, then drain and season with a dusting of salt, pepper and melted butter in some hot cream.

While most of the berries in your boxes will be just what you want for freezing, there might be a few strays that were picked prematurely, and show white spots especially on the tips. Dont throw them out you can use them for jams and preserves, so that theres no waste. And while the gettings good on both rhubarb and strawberries, why not combine the two in jam, a perennial favorite? The proportions of the two are alike a pound of rhubarb to a pound of berries. Wash the strawberries, drain and remova caps, and cut the rhubarb in one-inc- h pieces, not removing the skin. Allow Ibb to 2 pounds of sugar to 2 pounds of the combined fruits. Cover the rhubarb with part of the sugar, and let it stand for from one to two hours. Crush the strawberries and mix with the rest of the sugar, and join the two. Heat the mixture slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved, and stir constantly while boiling slowly for 15 or 20 minutes, until the jam reaches the desired consistency. Then pour into hot sterilized jars, and seal them up. (Released by WNU Features.) |
