Toward the end of the season after the first enjoyment enjoy-ment hus passed and the fruit loses some of Its fresh flavor is the time to use it In combination with other fruits or foods. A most delightful dessert is a peach canape. Cut a round of sponge cake, soak In a rich sirup of peach juice and sugar and on top of the cake place a very ripe, peeled, half of a peach.

As rhubarb is cheap, is easily grown, and when one has a small garden spot a few plants will yield all one needs for the table it is evident that too much has not been said in its favor. One method of canning it for winter win-ter use to be made Into pies, is very 5lmple prepare it by removing the peeling and cut in bits, then fill fruit jars as full as it can be packed In, and turn in the cold water from the tap or pump until it overflows and all the bubbles of air are expelled. Put on the rubber and cover and seal as usual. Of course it is hardly necessary to state that the jars should have been well sterilized, the rubbers dipped in hot water and the tops well scalded to make the. sterilization complete. Rhubarb Jam. Cut the rhubarb in lengths and choose the stalks that have a good red color. If cut very early ear-ly in the spring it need not be peeled, but later the ski.11 becomes tough. Cover the cut rhubarb with an equal weight of sugar and let stand over night. For each three pounds of frull add a thinly sliced lemon, discarding the seeds. Cook a half hour after beginning be-ginning to boil, then simmer for another an-other half hour. At the last add n small quantity of shredded, blanched almonds and put in Jars for winter use. A most delightful combination for those who are fond of ginger is foui pounds of sugar to five pounds of rhubarb, rhu-barb, the juice and rind of three lemons lem-ons and a small jar of preserved gingei with the sirup. Add a cupful of water cut the ginger very fine and cook slow ly an hour. Put into jelly glasses anc seal as usual. Eggs cooked in the shell until hard by putting them on in boiling water a pint to an egg, cover tightly anc stand in a warm place thirty minutes then shell, roll in crumbs and fry. Thi eggs are well cooked but tender ant digestible in this way. |
