PREFACE.


I ask every one who may become possessed of this book to read the
recipes herein contained carefully and thoughtfully before attempting
the making of any of them, and also to observe the following
instructions:

Weigh and measure all ingredients exactly, and have everything ready to
mix before you commence.

If you measure your ingredients by means of a cup be sure you use one
which holds half a pint.

Use neither more nor less of anything than the recipe instructs you, and
be sure to have your fire just right, as also instructed by the recipe.

If at first success does not come to you do not despair, but persist in
following the advice of the old adage: "Try, try again."

You should always bear in mind that honest work is never lost and that
reward must come in the end.

then filter; add it also to the syrup and stir up well. Color it
with the following mixture: Take 1/2 pound mallow or malva flowers and
soak them in 1/2 gallon water for 6 hours; then mash in a mortar 2
ounces cochineal and 2 ounces alum and pour over these 2 quarts
boiling water, and when cold filter; next mix both colors together,
add them to the syrup and stir for 15-20 minutes. This is an
excellent recipe for imitation of raspberry syrup.

78. +Raspberry Syrup (without boiling).+-- Mash some ripe berries in
a stone jar or bowl and set the paste for 3 days (covered with a
linen cloth) in a cool cellar; then press out the juice through a
coarse bag; let it stand for 6 hours; drain off the clear juice and
leave the sediment; add to 1 pint juice 1 pound sugar, stir for 1
hour and bottle; cork bottles loosely and set them for 4 days in the
sun; then filter through a fine flannel bag; re-bottle the syrup in
small bottles, cork well and cover corks with beeswax. Syrup made in
this way is excellent for sauces. Strawberry and Currant Syrup
without boiling is made in the same manner.

79. +Blackberry Syrup.+-- Mash the blackberries in a stone jar, cover
and let them stand for 48 hours; then strain them through a bag; add
to each pint of juice 1 pound sugar; stir until dissolved; put it
over the fire to boil 3 minutes; skim well; add to each quart of
syrup 1/2 gill of French brandy and bottle. Or take nice, ripe

let it come to a boil; skim well and bottle.

82. +Cherry Syrup.+-- Pound a sufficient quantity of ripe cherries
(with the pits) in a porcelain or stone mortar; let it stand for 3
days; inclose them in a bag, press out the juice, add to each pint 1
pound sugar; let it boil up once, skim and put the syrup in bottles;
cork and set away for use.

83. +Wild Cherry Syrup+ is made in the same manner as the above.

84. +Wild Cherry Bark Syrup.+-- Pour 1 pint cold water over 4 ounces
well bruised wild cherry bark; let it stand for 36 hours; press out
and let the liquid stand till clear; add 1-1/2 pounds white sugar; stir
until dissolved and strain through fine flannel bag; set away in
well corked bottles.

85. +Vanilla Syrup.+-- Add 1/2 ounce fluid extract of vanilla to 1
gallon plain syrup. Another recipe: Rub 1/2 ounce citric acid with a
little plain syrup; add 1 fluid ounce extract of vanilla and 1
gallon plain syrup.

86. +Vanilla Cream Syrup.+-- Add to 3 pints plain syrup 1 ounce
extract of vanilla, 1 quart rich, sweet cream or condensed milk.

pounds granulated sugar; add 2 quarts cold water and the juice of
the lemons; stir until the sugar is melted; then strain through a
fine flannel bag and put the syrup in well corked pint bottles. Be
careful to grate off only the yellow part of the rind of the lemons;
the white part will give the syrup a bitter taste. There is no
better lemon syrup made than this. 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls of this
syrup in a glass of cold water makes fine lemonade and is also
excellent for mineral waters and sauces.

89. +Lemon Syrup (with Oil of Lemon).+-- Add to 1 gallon plain syrup
25 drops oil of lemon and 10 drams citric acid; mix the oil and acid
together gradually; then add the syrup slowly, and when well mixed
bottle syrup and keep in a cool place for use.

90. +Another Recipe+:--Add to 1 gallon plain syrup 6 drams tartaric
acid dissolved in a little warm water, 1 ounce gumarabic dissolved

granulated sugar; squeeze out the juice, strain and pour it over the
sugar; add 1/2 gallon cold water; stir until sugar is dissolved; then

JELLIES.


145. +Jellies+ should be as clear as crystal, not too sweet and just
firm enough to hold together. Jellies that have to stand any length
of time on the buffets must, of course, be firmer. A good plan is to
make a trial by putting a little in a tin cup and setting it on ice
before the jelly is put into a form.

146. +To Clarify Gelatine.+-- Put 2 ounces gelatine in a saucepan,
add 1/2 pint cold water and let it stand 10 minutes; then add 1/2 pint
boiling water, set the saucepan in a vessel of boiling water and
stir until gelatine is dissolved; beat the whites of 2 eggs to a
froth, add the juice of 1 large lemon and a little cold water; stir
this into the gelatine, continue stirring until it boils, remove to
side of stove and let it stand 5 minutes without boiling; then
strain through a jelly bag and use as directed in following recipes.

147. +To Clarify Sugar.+-- Put 1 pound sugar in 1 pint cold water
and stir till sugar is dissolved; then strain through a napkin.
A quicker way is to boil the sugar and water with the juice of 1
lemon for a few minutes and strain the same way.

148. +To Clarify Fruit Juice.+-- Lay a few sheets of filtering paper
in water and let them soak for 15 minutes, changing the water twice;
then press them out, pick into small pieces, wet a little again with
water and put the paper into a small sieve; pour the fruit juice
onto the paper and let it run through into a dish. If not clear the
first time pour back again and let it run through once more.

149. +Jelly Bag.+-- Take 3/4 yard of white flannel and make a bias bag;
this is done by taking the flannel on the bias, sewing the bottom
and side together to a point; cut it even on top and hem; then sew a
string on each end of hem. In using the bag lay a broom with one end
on the back of a chair and the other end on a table; tie the bag
onto the broom, in the center, so that it hangs between the table
and chair; set a bowl underneath the bag; then pour in the jelly;
pour that which runs through first back again into the bag; repeat
this once or twice more until the jelly runs through clear. When all
the jelly has run through fill it into a mould and set either on ice
or in a cool place.

150. +Orange Jelly.+-- Clarify 2 ounces of gelatine as directed (see
Clarifying Gelatine), dissolve 1 pound sugar in 1 pint water, add
the thin peel of 2 oranges and let it stand 1 hour; then remove
orange peel and strain the sugar syrup through a napkin; remove the
peel from 4 oranges, divide them into small quarters and remove the
pits without breaking the fruit; next pour the juice of 8 oranges
and 2 lemons through filtering paper (see Clarifying Fruit Juice);
as soon as the gelatine, fruit juice and sugar are clarified mix the
three together, place a jelly form into cracked ice, pour in a few
spoonfuls jelly and when firm lay in one-third of the orange
quarters, which should be wiped dry with a napkin; add sufficient
jelly to cover the fruit and when hard lay over another third; cover
again with jelly and continue until all is used up; cover the form,
lay some ice on top and let it stand till firm; when ready to serve
dip the form into hot water, wipe it dry, remove cover, turn the
jelly into a dish and serve with vanilla sauce or sweet cream.
NOTE.--If the inside of jelly mould is brushed with pure almond oil
the form need not be dipped in hot water, as the jelly will slip out
without any trouble. Fine olive oil may also be used, but care
should be taken to use only the very best, as otherwise the flavor
of the jelly will be spoiled.

151. +Plain Orange Jelly.+-- Dissolve and clarify 1 ounce gelatine in
1/2 pint water as directed, dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1/2 pint water, add
the thin peel of 1 orange and let it stand 1 hour; then strain
through a napkin; let the juice of 5 oranges and 1 lemon run through
filtering paper or a fine napkin; mix the gelatine, fruit juice and
sugar syrup together, pour it into a jelly mould and set in a cool
place to get firm; when ready to serve dip the form into hot water,
turn the jelly onto a dish and serve with the following sauce:--Beat
1 egg to a froth, add by degrees 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoonfuls sugar
and 1 teaspoonful vanilla extract.

152. +Lemon Jelly.+-- Clarify 2 ounces gelatine as directed, dissolve
1-1/4 pounds sugar in 1 pint water, add the grated rind of 2 lemons and
let it stand 1/2 hour; then strain through a napkin; let 1 pint of
lemon juice run through filtering paper (see Clarifying Fruit
Juice); when the three ingredients have been clarified mix them
together, fill the jelly into a jelly mould, set it on ice or in a
cold place to get firm and serve same as Orange Jelly.

153. +Strawberry Jelly.+-- Put 1 quart ripe strawberries in a
colander, rinse them off with cold water and when drained mash them
well in a bowl with a silver spoon; dissolve 3/4 pound sugar in 1 pint
cold water, add the juice of 1 lemon and put it over the fire to

ICE CREAMS.


264. +Directions for Making Ice Cream.+-- The implements needed are a
freezer, rock salt and finely cracked ice. Ice cream freezers can be
bought at any hardware store. They consist of a large wooden pail
with a faucet on the side near the bottom and a freezer with a
paddle inside. The cracking of the ice is best accomplished by
putting it into a coarse sack and pounding it fine with a hammer or
mallet. Place the freezer into the pail, put in the paddle and cover
the freezer tightly. Fill the space between the pail and freezer
with fine cracked ice to 1/3 its height, sprinkle over 2 handfuls salt
and pack down the ice with a piece of wood, so that it may be firm
all around the freezer; continue with layers of ice, salt and the
packing down till the ice reaches to the edge of cover; next pour
into the freezer the mixture that is to be frozen; but care should
be taken not to put in too much, for the cream needs plenty of room
in order to become light and smooth; cover the freezer and let it
stand for 5 minutes; then commence to turn; after 10 minutes'
turning remove the cover from freezer and cut the frozen cream with
a long bladed knife from the sides of can; repeat this every 10
minutes until the cream is frozen hard; then remove the paddle, even
off the cream in the freezer, cover and let it stand for 10 minutes;
do not draw off the water from pail until it stands above the ice
and the freezer has lost its firm hold; after drawing off the water
fill the space up again with cracked ice and salt; when the 10
minutes have elapsed fill the frozen cream into an ice form, cover
tightly and paste a strip of buttered paper around the edge of
cover; then pack the form into cracked ice and salt for 1 or 2
hours; when ready to serve take the form from the ice, rinse it off
with cold water, remove the paper and wipe the form dry; then dip it
quickly into hot water, take off the cover, turn the cream onto a
dish and serve at once.

milk, the yolks of 6 eggs, 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoonful
cornstarch over the fire and stir with an egg beater till nearly
boiling; remove from the fire, set saucepan in cold water and
continue stirring till cold; then add the whites of the 6 eggs,
beaten to a stiff froth, and 2 teaspoonfuls vanilla extract; pour
this into the form, put on the cover and paste a strip of buttered
paper around its edge, to prevent the salt water from entering; put
a thick layer of cracked ice in the bottom of a butter tub and
sprinkle over it a handful of rock salt; set the form onto the ice
and fill the space between it and tub with cracked ice and salt; lay
a thick layer of ice on top of form and sprinkle with salt; cover
the tub with a carpet or bag and let it stand in a cool place for 4
hours; when ready to serve take the form out of the ice, remove the
paper, dip the form into hot water, quickly wipe dry, turn the cream
onto a dish and serve.

283. +Vanilla Ice Cream. No. 2.+-- Place a deep kettle into cracked
ice and put into it 1 quart rich, sweet cream; beat this with an egg
beater until thick and add 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoonfuls
vanilla extract; put the cream into a tin form with a tube in the
center, cover tightly, paste a strip of buttered paper around the
edge of cover and finish the same as in foregoing recipe. NOTE.--For
chocolate cream dissolve 1/4 pound grated chocolate in 1/2 cup water,
let it boil for a few minutes and when cold stir into the whipped
cream prepared as above. Preserved peaches cut into small pieces or
preserved pineapples cut into dice and mixed with the whipped cream
is very nice. 1 dozen macaroons pounded fine and mixed with the
whipped cream is also excellent. Pumpernickel cut in slices, dried
in an oven and rolled fine may also be used. Candied fruit cut into
pieces and fresh or preserved strawberries, as also cherries,
apricots and oranges, can be used in the same way. For a small
family 1 pint of cream will be sufficient.

284. +Fruit Ice Cream.+-- Stir 1 quart cream with the yolks of 6 eggs
and 1-1/2 cups sugar over the fire till it nearly boils; remove from
fire and when cold put the cream into the freezer and work till half

preserved pineapple cut into dice, ripe peaches cut into quarters,
preserved pitted cherries or apricots; then finish as directed. The
fruit may also be stirred into Custard Ice Cream in the same manner.

285. +Fruit Ice.+-- The principal point in making fruit ice is to use
the exact quantity of sugar. If the mixture contains too much sugar
it will not freeze; if too little sugar the ice will be hard and
dry. The better way is to try a little of it before putting the
whole mixture into a freezer. If hard and dry add some thick sugar
syrup; if it does not freeze at all add some cold water or a very
thin syrup of sugar.

286. +Cold Sugar Syrup for Fruit Ice.+-- Dissolve 1 pound sugar in 1
pint cold water and use as directed in following recipe. This is the
ordinary syrup of 32 degrees used for fruit ice. If a thicker syrup
is wanted dissolve 1 pound sugar in 1/2 pint water.

287. +Strawberry Ice.+-- Wash and drain 1 quart ripe strawberries and
press them through a sieve; mix the pulp with 1 pint sugar syrup, as
in No. 286, and the juice of 2 lemons; press it through a fine hair
sieve, put it into a freezer and freeze as directed.

288. +Pineapple Ice.+-- Choose a large, ripe pineapple, pare and
grate it, or cut into pieces, and chop fine; put the pulp into a
porcelain dish and pour over it 1/2 pint sugar syrup; cover and let it
stand 1 hour; then add another 1/2 pint sugar syrup and the juice of 1
lemon; press it through a sieve and put in a freezer to freeze.

289. +Tutti Frutti Ice.+-- Pound 3/4 pound blanched sweet almonds and
12 bitter ones with a little cold water very fine; pour over 1 pint
water and let them stand for 1/2 hour; then press them through a hair
sieve; mix this almond milk with 2 pints sugar syrup and 1
teaspoonful vanilla; put this into a freezer and freeze; when frozen
take the paddle of the freezer out and put in different kinds of
fruit cut into small dice--either fresh or preserved peaches,
pineapples, plums, cherries or apricots.

290. +Peach Ice.+-- Pare and cut 12 large, ripe peaches into pieces,
press them through a sieve, mix with a little over 1 pint sugar
syrup and freeze. Ices from egg plums and apricots are made in the
same way.

291. +Melon Ice.+-- Choose a nice, ripe musk melon, cut it in half,
remove the seeds and green portion and press the soft part through a
sieve; mix it with an equal quantity of sugar syrup, a little
vanilla extract, the juice of 1 lemon, a little orange blossom water
and freeze as directed.

292. +Orange Ice.+-- Mix 1 quart sugar syrup with the juice of 10
oranges, put in the thin peel of 2 oranges and let it stand for 6
minutes; remove the peel, pour the syrup through a sieve and freeze
as directed.

293. +Lemon Ice.+-- Mix the juice of 5 lemons with 1 quart sugar
syrup and freeze.

294. +Sorbet+ is served in Europe at balls and suppers.

295. +Champagne Sorbet.+-- Dissolve 1 pound sugar in 1-1/2 pints cold
water, add the juice of 2 lemons and 6 oranges and a little of the
peel of each and let it stand 10 minutes; remove the peel, add 1/2
bottle champagne, put it into a freezer and work for 1/4 hour; 10
minutes before serving add 1/2 bottle champagne, work it for a few
minutes longer and then serve in glasses. Sorbet should not freeze
hard; it should be a creamy liquid and ice cold.

296. +Pineapple Sorbet.+-- 1 quart pineapple syrup, the juice of 3
oranges and 1 lemon; mix all together, strain and put into a
freezer, work it for 1/2 hour and add by degrees during the freezing
process 1/2 bottle champagne; finish the same as Champagne Sorbet.
Sorbets of oranges, strawberries, peaches, cherries and apricot
syrup are made in a similar manner.

297. +Strawberry Sherbet.+-- Press 1 quart ripe strawberries through
a sieve, add 3/4 pound sugar dissolved in 3 pints cold water, add the

ice for 1 or 2 hours; serve ice cold in small glasses.

298. +Orange Granite.+-- Mix 1 pint orange juice with 3 pints sugar
syrup, as in No. 286, the juice of 2 lemons and the peel of 1; let
it stand a few minutes then strain through a sieve; pour the mixture
into a freezer, cover and turn for 5 minutes; then take off the
cover, cut the frozen part loose from the sides of freezer, turn for
a few minutes longer and serve. Granite must not be frozen hard; it
should have little lumps all through it. Granites of strawberries,
pineapples, raspberries, currants, peaches, apricots or cherries are
made in a similar way. In granite of currants omit the lemon juice.

299. +Spongada aux peches.+-- Pare and cut into pieces some ripe
peaches, press them through a sieve and take for 1 pint peach pulp 1
pint sugar syrup, as in No. 286, 2 teaspoonfuls vanilla extract, 1-1/2

paste with a little water; mix all well together and strain twice
through a sieve; pour this into a freezer, cover and turn for 5
minutes; take off the cover, cut the frozen part loose from the
sides of freezer, cover and turn again; repeat the operation of
cutting from the sides every 5 minutes; as soon as the mixture
begins to thicken remove the paddle of freezer, work the mixture up
and down with a large spoon and press it towards the sides and
bottom of freezer; as soon as the contents of freezer have increased
to double their size add 2 tablespoonfuls maraschino and serve in
glasses.

300. +Spongada au chocolat.+-- 1 pint sweet cream, 1/2 pound finely
grated chocolate, 1/2 pound sugar, 2 teaspoonfuls vanilla extract, 1-1/2

Spongada aux Peches. The maraschino is to be added shortly before
serving.

303. +Orgeat of Almond Milk.+-- 1 pound sweet and 12 bitter almonds
are scalded in boiling water, freed from their brown skins and laid

them fine with 1 pound sugar and a few spoonfuls water; put the
pounded nuts into a porcelain dish, pour over them 4 quarts cold
water, add 2 teaspoonfuls vanilla extract and strain through a
napkin. The napkin should be well washed in cold water and wrung out
previous to being used. Put this almond milk into glass bottles and
place them on ice before serving.

304. +The Polonaise.+-- Place a porcelain-lined saucepan over the
fire with 1 bottle Rhine wine, 2 bottles weiss beer, the rind of 1
lemon, a piece of stick cinnamon, 2 whole eggs, the yolks of 6 and
sugar to taste; beat the whole with an egg beater over the fire till
nearly boiling; instantly remove, continue beating for a few minutes
longer and serve hot in cups. This is served at the end of a ball or
party shortly before the guests go home.

305. +Iced Tea.+-- Boil 1 quart milk with 4 tablespoonfuls sugar, add
1-1/2 ounces tea, cover and set aside for 5 minutes; then strain and

307. +Bread Crumbs.+-- Take stale bread or pieces which are left from
the table, put them in a long, shallow tin pan and place in a medium
hot oven; leave the door of oven open a little, so that the bread
may dry slowly; when it is dry and has become a delicate brown color
put the bread on a pastry board and roll it fine with a rolling pin;
sift the crumbs through a sieve, return those which remain in it
back on the board and roll and sift again; continue in this way
until all the crumbs have been rolled fine and sifted; put them into
a jar or box until wanted.

308. +How to Prepare a Pudding Form.+-- Rub the inside of a form well
with butter and thickly sprinkle it with fine bread crumbs; turn the
form upside down, in order that the loose crumbs may fall out; the
cover of the form must be treated the same way; fill form with the
pudding mixture, put on the cover and tie it firmly with a cord; set
the form in a vessel of boiling water so that 1/3 of it is immersed;
then cover the vessel and boil slowly till done; add more water
according as it diminishes through boiling. The form may be put in a
large saucepan of boiling water and the latter covered with a deep
dish or pan; but care must be taken not to have too much water in
the saucepan, otherwise it will get inside of the form.

before serving turn the border onto a round dish and pile the
apricots high up in the center; reduce the syrup by boiling it a
little longer and pour over the fruit and border when cold. Made of
apples, peaches, pears, cherries, pineapples, currants or
raspberries the same way. NOTE.--Stewed cherries or finely cut
pineapples may be stirred into the cornstarch before putting it into
the form and the border. When turned on the dish it may be decorated
with fresh strawberries, cherries or raspberries. The cornstarch may
be put into a round form. When turned out onto a dish lay the fruit
all over it, cover the whole with a meringue and serve the syrup the
fruit was boiled in as a sauce with it; or serve vanilla sauce with
it.

603. +Pineapple Croutes.+-- Pare and cut a small pineapple into small
pieces and boil them in sugar syrup till tender; take the pineapple
out and reduce the syrup by boiling it down; cut a loaf of stale
bread into slices 1/4 inch in thickness, cut the slices into rounds
with a cake cutter and toast them to a handsome brown color; lay
them in a pan and dust with sugar; set them for a few minutes in a
hot oven to glaze; spread a thick layer of apple marmalade over the
bottom of a round dish; also spread each piece of toast with the
marmalade; set them around the edge of dish, pour over some of the
syrup and put the pineapple in the center. Brioche when a few days
old may be used instead of bread.

604. +Cherry Croutes+ are made the same as Pineapple Croutes. Peach
Croutes and Apricot Croutes are also made the same as Pineapple
Croutes.

605. +Apples in Jelly, No. 1.+-- Pare 1 dozen Spitzenberg apples and
remove the cores with an apple corer without breaking the fruit; put
a wide kettle or saucepan over the fire with sufficient water to
cover the apples, let it come to a boil, put in the apples and boil
till a straw will easily pierce through them; then transfer them
carefully to a long glass dish; boil the liquor down to 1 quart and
add 1 cup sugar and 1 ounce gelatine soaked for 15 minutes in a
little cold water; stir it into the apple syrup, boil for a few
minutes and then set aside; when nearly cold pour the syrup over the
apples and set on ice to get firm; serve with whipped cream or
vanilla sauce. Peaches, pears or quinces are made the same way.
Finely chopped nuts sprinkled over before the jelly has hardened or
freshly grated cocoanut sprinkled over is a great improvement. Half
these quantities will be sufficient for a family of 6.

606. +Apples in Jelly, No. 2.+-- Pare 1 dozen pippin or greening
apples, remove the cores without breaking the fruit and lay the
apples into water with the juice of 1 lemon (this will keep them
from turning); put the peels and cores of apples into a kettle,
cover with water and boil until soft; strain first through
cheesecloth and then through a flannel bag till the liquor is clear;
return the liquor to kettle and when it boils put in the apples;
boil until a straw will easily pierce through them; then remove the
apples carefully to a glass dish; measure the apple water and allow
1 pound sugar for 1 pint water; boil the liquid 20 minutes; then add
the sugar, boil 3 minutes and let it cool off a little; then pour it
over the apples and serve when cold without sauce.

607. +Apples (with Custard).+-- Pare, core and cut into quarters 6
large pippin or greening apples; put 1/2 cup sugar with 1 cup water in
a wide, low pan over the fire and boil 2 minutes; put in as many
apple quarters as will lay in without crowding one another; boil
until a straw will pierce through them easily; then take the apples
out with a skimmer, lay them in a pudding dish and boil the
remaining apples the same way; when the apples are all done and laid
in the dish make a custard in the following way:--Beat 5 eggs until
very light and add 4 tablespoonfuls sugar, 1 teaspoonful vanilla and
1 quart cold milk; pour this over the apples and bake till the
custard is firm; when done remove the dish from oven and serve when
cold with a napkin folded around the dish.

608. +Apples (with Currant Jelly).+-- Take 6 large greening apples, 1
cup currant jelly and 1 cup sugar; pare, core and cut the apples
into quarters and lay them in cold water; put the cores and peels in
a saucepan, cover with water and boil till tender; strain them
through a jelly bag and return liquid to saucepan; as soon as it
boils put in some of the apples (not too many at once, so they do
not crowd one another) and boil until a straw will easily pierce
through them; then take them out carefully, lay on a dish to cool
and boil the remaining apples the same way; when all are boiled
again strain the liquid and boil it 20 minutes; then measure it; add
to 1 pint liquid 1 pound sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved;
then add the currant jelly and stir and boil 2 minutes; then remove
from fire; rinse out a mould with cold water, sprinkle with sugar,
lay in the apple quarters and pour the liquid when nearly cold over
them; set on ice to get firm; in serving turn them onto a dish and
lay a circle of whipped cream around the dish or the whites of 3
eggs beaten to a stiff froth and mixed with 1 tablespoonful powdered
sugar; put the yolks of the 3 eggs with 2 tablespoonfuls sugar and 1
pint milk in saucepan and stir over the fire till just about to
boil; add 1 teaspoonful vanilla and when cold serve with the apples.
This makes a pretty dish for supper or dessert.

609. +Steamed Apples.+-- Pare and core 1/2 dozen large tart apples and
stick 6 cloves all around into each apple; put them in a pan, put a
little sugar into each apple and pour some boiling water in the pan;

penetrate through them easily; transfer the apples to a dish and set
aside to cool; boil the peels and cores in water till soft; then
strain through a jelly bag, add the water the apples were boiled in
and boil the two together 20 minutes; then add for 1 pint liquid 1
pound sugar and boil 10 minutes more; put 1 teaspoonful currant
jelly into each apple and set aside to cool; arrange the apples
neatly in a long dish, pour the apple jelly over them and set in a
cool place till wanted.

610. +Baked Apples, No. 1.+-- Pare some large greening or pippin
apples and remove the cores without breaking the fruit; set the
apples in a shallow tin pan, fill them with sugar and pour a little

pan and boil on top of stove till they are half done; transfer the
apples to another pan, sprinkle them thickly with freshly grated
cocoanut mixed with sugar and set in oven to bake till done and to a
light brown; in the meantime strain the liquor the apples were
boiled in into a saucepan and measure it; allow for 1 pint liquid 1
pound sugar and boil 5 minutes; when the apples are done remove them
to a glass dish, pour over the apple syrup and sprinkle a thick
layer of fresh cocoanut and sugar over; serve when cold.

613. +Pound Sweets (baked).+-- Remove the cores from 1/2 dozen pound
sweet apples without breaking them; put them in a long, shallow tin
pan, add a little water and bake till tender; remove them to a glass
dish, put into each apple 1 teaspoonful apple or currant jelly and
dust them over with sugar; serve with or without sweet cream.

614. +Pound Sweets (in Syrup).+-- Pare, core and cut into halves 1/2
dozen large sweet apples and lay them in cold water with a little
lemon juice or a little vinegar; put the cores and peels over the
fire, cover with water and boil till soft; strain through a coarse
bag, return the liquor to saucepan and add the juice of 1 lemon,
a little of the rind and 1 cup sugar; as soon as it boils put in the
apples; let them boil until a straw will pierce through them easily;
remove the apples to a dish and strain the liquor over them; serve
when cold. A few whole cloves and a piece of cinnamon may be added
if the flavor is liked.

615. +Apples Baked with Jelly.+-- Pare and core 6 good sized greening
or pippin apples and stick cloves all around the top near the
opening into each one; put them in a tin pan in a hot oven, add 1/2
cup water and bake till done; put the peels and cores in a saucepan,

water and cover and stew till the apples fall apart; then press them
through a coarse sieve or colander (the former is the best), add 1/2
cup sugar and set aside; when cold beat the whites of 6 eggs to a
stiff froth, slowly add the apple sauce and continue the beating for
1/2 hour; heap it on a glass dish, set lady fingers divided in two all
around the dish with bits of currant jelly between and serve with
the following sauce:--Stir the yolks with 4 tablespoonfuls sugar and
1 teaspoonful vanilla extract to a cream; add slowly 1 pint cold
milk and serve with the above dish. This is a pretty supper dish and
a nice dessert. This dish may be made of peaches or cranberries the
same way.

617. +Apple Sauce.+-- Pare, core and cut into small pieces 12 good
sized tart apples, put them into a saucepan with 1/2 pint water and
cover and stew till tender; add 1 cup sugar, press it through a

them into pieces; put them over the fire in a porcelain-lined or
agate saucepan, add 1 cup water, cover tightly and stew till tender;
when done press them through a sieve or colander (the former is
best), sweeten with sugar and serve. Apple sauce made in this way
needs only half the apples, and is equally as nice when made right
as if the apples were peeled. Apples should never be stewed in rusty
tins or iron pots, as they will spoil the appearance of the sauce.
Take either a porcelain-lined saucepan, an agate kettle, a new tin
kettle or pan or a stone saucepan. Either of these are good for
stewing fruit in.

PIES.


658. +Directions for Making Pies.+-- To succeed in making good pastry
the following rules should be observed:--Flour should be of the best
quality, dry and sifted before using. Butter, unless fresh, should
be washed several times in cold water and dried in a napkin. Lard
should be sweet, and is best when tried out from leaf lard. If suet
is used it should be fresh, chopped fine and freed from all skin.
During the process of chopping it should be dredged with flour. Beef
dripping should be clarified, and if the dripping has any odor or
by-taste a very disagreeable flavor will be imparted to the paste.
Strict cleanliness must be observed. All utensils used for pastry
making should be clean and kept exclusively for that purpose.
Prepare the crust as quickly as possible and do not touch it with
your hands any more than necessary. When the crust is ready take a
pie plate (agate pie plates are the best) and dust it with flour; do
not grease it with butter or lard. Cut off a portion of the crust,
roll it out thin, lay it over the plate, press it down lightly with
the hand, set the plate in front of you, press with the palms of
both hands against the edge of plate and cut the paste which hangs
over the edge off with your fingers. The plate is then ready to
receive the ingredients of which the pie is to be made. If pumpkin,
cocoanut or custard pie is to be made, brush the surface of crust
over with beaten egg and sprinkle over 2 tablespoonfuls finely
sifted bread or cracker crumbs; then fill in the mixture. This keeps
the crust dry and prevents it from being heavy. Pies that are made
of stewed or preserved fruit should also be treated the same way.
For fine meringue pies the crust should be baked before the mixture
is put in. This is done in the following manner:--Line the pie plate
with crust and brush the edge over with beaten egg; then roll some
pie crust very thin, cut it into strips 1 inch wide and cut one side
of the strips into scallops with a knife; wet the edge of crust on
the pie plate with beaten egg or water; then lay the strip around
the edge of plate so the scallops stand a little above the edge;
next lay some thin, buttered brown paper into the plate all over the
crust, fill the plate with dry peas and bake it in a medium hot oven
till crust is done; then take it from the oven, remove paper and
peas, fill in the mixture and bake again till pie is done; draw the
pie to front of oven, spread over the meringue and let it remain in
oven for a few minutes; then transfer it to a cool place and serve
cold. 1 or 2 quarts of dry peas should be kept for this purpose
only. They may be put away in a box or glass jar and can then be
used several times. If the peas should at any time become rancid
from the butter or lard of which the pie crust is made, pour boiling
water over them and drain and rub thoroughly with a dry towel; then
spread them apart on shallow tins and when dry put away until wanted
again. Instead of peas the pie plate may be filled with pieces of
stale bread, which can then be used for bread crumbs; but peas are
best for this purpose.

659. +Pie Crust (quick and good).+-- 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoonful
salt, 1/2 cup ice water and 1 cup lard; sift flour and salt in a bowl,
add the lard and chop it fine with a knife in the flour; add the
water and mix it with the same knife into a stiff paste; put the
paste on a floured board and work it for a few minutes with the
knife; take a portion from it and roll it out thin; line a pie plate
with it and fill the plate with the ingredients the pie is to be
made of; roll out another portion of paste and spread over the top 1/2
tablespoonful lard; lay this over the pie with the lard side up,
press the paste off which hangs over the edge of plate with your
hands and place the pie in oven to bake. This crust is excellent,
inexpensive and quickly made; sufficient for 2 large pies.

660. +Rich Pie Crust.+-- 1/2 pound flour, 1/2 teaspoonful salt, 1/2 pound
lard and 1/2 cup ice water; sift flour and salt into a bowl, add the
water and mix it into a paste; put the paste on a floured board and
work it thoroughly for 5 minutes, or until it does not stick to the
hands; then roll it out into a square about an inch in thickness;
also shape the lard into a square, but 1 inch smaller than the
paste; lay it in center of paste, fold the paste over and place it
for 1/2 hour on ice; then put it on the board again, dust it under and
over with flour, roll it out 3 times as long as wide with a rolling
pin, fold over one-third to the center, roll over it once, fold the
other end over that, so the paste is three double, roll over it once
with the rolling pin, turn the paste around, roll it out again 3
times as long as wide, fold it up the same way as before and set the
paste again for 1/2 hour on ice; repeat the folding and rolling twice
more and let it rest each time for 1/2 hour; when ready to make the
pie roll a portion of the paste out very thin, line pie plate as
directed with it and fill the plate with the ingredients the pie is
to be made of; roll out another portion of the paste, spread the top
thickly with lard, lay the paste over the pie with the lard side up
and remove the paste which hangs over the edge of plate by pressing
against the edge with the palm of your hand; sufficient for 2 large
pies.

661. +Fine Pie Crust.+-- 1 pound flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, 1/2 pint
ice water, 1/2 pound lard, 6 ounces butter and the yolk of 1 egg; sift
flour and salt in a bowl, add 1/2 the lard and chop it fine in the
flour with a knife; put the yolk in the ice water and beat it with
an egg beater till it foams; then add it to the flour and mix it
with the same knife into a stiff paste; turn the paste onto a
floured board and roll it into a square piece about an inch in
thickness; form the remaining lard and the butter also into a square
piece, but 1-1/2 inches smaller on all sides; lay it in center of
paste, fold it over the lard and butter together, first from right
and left, then from and towards you; lay the paste onto a plate and
let it rest for 1/2 hour on ice; then put it on a board, dust under
and over with flour and roll it out 3 times as long as wide, rolling
always from you; fold over one-third to the center, roll over it
once with the rolling pin, fold the other end over that, so the
paste is 3 double, roll over it once with a rolling pin, turn the
paste around, roll it out again 3 times as long as wide, fold it up
the same as above and set the paste again for 1/2 hour on ice or in a
cool place; repeat the rolling out and folding up twice more and let
it rest each time 1/2 hour; after the last rolling let it rest 10
minutes and then use as directed; sufficient for 4 large pies.

662. +Family Pie Crust.+-- 1/2 pound butter, 6 ounces lard, 1 pound
flour, 1 cup ice water and 1/2 teaspoonful salt; sift flour and salt
into a bowl, add the lard and chop it up with a broad-bladed knife
into the flour until it is very fine; next pour in the ice water and
mix it with the same knife into a smooth paste; turn it onto a
floured board, dust under and over with flour and roll it out 1 inch
in thickness; divide the butter into 3 parts; put 1 part in small
bits in regular rows all over the paste; then fold it up, first the
right side towards the left, then the left side towards the right,
so the paste has 3 thicknesses; turn it around, roll it out again
the same way, put over the second part of butter, fold it up and
roll out again the same way; put over the third part of butter, fold
it up and roll it out twice more; let it rest for 1 hour on ice or
in a cool place; then use; while the rolling and folding is going on
flour must be sprinkled under and over the paste; the rolling pin
must be kept floured, to keep the paste from sticking to it. This
paste may be made the day before it is to be used, and if it stands
for 2 or 3 days it will not hurt it as long as the paste is kept in
a cool place; sufficient for 4 large pies.

663. +Fine Paste for Meat Pies, Patties and Baked Apple
Dumplings.+-- Put 1 pound sifted flour on a paste board, make a
hollow in center and put in the yolks of 3 eggs and 1/2 pound butter;
work this quickly with your hands into a stiff paste, adding by
degrees a little ice water; then roll it out 1 inch in thickness and
fold the right and left side to the center, so they meet together;
then fold the other two sides over to the center the same way and
set it for 1 hour on ice or in a cool place; when that time has
expired lay the paste onto a floured board, roll it out 3 times as
long as wide, fold one-third over to the center, roll over it once
with the rolling pin, fold the other third over that, so the paste
has 3 layers, roll out again 3 times as long as wide, fold it up the
same way, let it rest for 1/2 hour and roll and fold it up once more;
then use. This paste is excellent for chicken, oyster, pigeon or
beefsteak pie; also for baked apple dumplings and fine patties;
sufficient for 1 large pie or for 9 apple dumplings.

664. +Puff Paste.+-- 1 pound flour, a pinch of salt, 1 cup ice water
and 1 pound butter; sift flour in a bowl, add salt and ice water and
mix it into a smooth paste; work it thoroughly on the board with
your hands for 5 minutes, cover and set it for 20 minutes on ice;
knead the butter well in ice water, to remove the salt, and dry it
in a napkin; put the paste onto a floured board and roll it out into
a square about 1-1/2 inches in thickness; press the butter flat, also
into a square, but smaller than the paste; lay the butter in center
of paste and fold the paste first from the right and left side; then
from you and towards you over the butter together; turn the paste
over with the folded side towards the board; dust under and over a
little flour and roll the paste out 3 times as long as wide; fold
the lower third over the center and roll over it once with the
rolling pin; then fold over that the upper third, so the paste is
three double; roll over it once with the rolling pin; turn the paste
around, roll it out again 3 times as long as wide, fold it again 3
double, lay it on a plate and set the paste for 1 hour on ice; then
roll it out again and fold the same way twice; let it rest for 1/2
hour on ice; roll and fold it twice more, so the paste has been
rolled out and folded up 6 times; after the last rolling let it rest
for 20 minutes and then use. The rolling out and folding together
must be done with the greatest care, so the layers fit exactly over
one another, as the whole success depends upon this. The paste has
attained its greatest lightness when rolled and folded together 6
times; if it is rolled out oftener it will loose in lightness; and
if it is to be used where lightness is not wanted it must be rolled
and folded together from 8 to 10 times. Puff paste is best made in a
cool place, and if handy on a marble slab.

665. +Short Paste (Muerber Teig--German art).+-- 1/2 pound sifted flour,
6 ounces butter, the yolks of 4 eggs, a pinch of salt, 1
tablespoonful sugar and the grated rind of 1/2 lemon; knead the butter
in ice water, to remove the salt, and dry it in a napkin; put the
flour on a board, make a hollow in center, put in the yolks, lemon,
sugar, salt and butter and work it quickly into a smooth dough with
your hands; set it on ice for 1 hour before using. Another way:--1/2
cup butter, the yolks of 3 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls cream, 1/2
tablespoonful sugar, a pinch of salt and 1/2 pound flour; mix these
ingredients together the same as above. Short paste (or Muerber Teig)
is used a great deal in Germany the same as pie crust in America,
and is excellent when made right. A very nice pie is made as
follows:--Roll the paste out very thin, cover a pie plate with it
(one which is not very deep), cut off what hangs over the edge of
plate, spread a thick layer of any kind of fruit marmalade over it,
cover with a thin layer of the paste and bake in a quick oven; or
bake thin layers of the paste the same as Jelly Cake, and when done
lay 2 together with jelly, fruit marmalade or whipped cream between
them. Another way to use it is:--Roll the paste out 1/8 of an inch in
thickness, cut it into rounds with a cake cutter, brush them over
with beaten egg and sprinkle chopped nuts and sugar over them; bake
in a medium hot oven and serve with wine.

666. +Neapolitan Paste.+-- Scald 5 ounces almonds in boiling water
and let them lay for a few minutes; then remove the brown skins and
pound the almonds fine in a wedgewood mortar with the yolks of 4
eggs and 1 tablespoonful powdered sugar; sift 1 pound flour on a
pastry board, make a hollow in center, put in 3/4 pound butter, 1/2
pound powdered sugar, the almonds, 1 whole egg and 1 yolk and the
finely chopped peel of 1 lemon; work this into a stiff paste and set
it for 1 hour on ice before using.

667. +Florentinian Paste.+-- Sift 1 pound flour on a pastry board,
make a hollow in center, put in 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 5 ounces
grated chocolate, 2 whole eggs and the yolks of 5 hard boiled eggs
rubbed through a sieve; add a little cinnamon and vanilla; knead
this into a smooth paste and let it stand for 1 hour in a cool place
before using.

668. +Almond Paste.+-- Pour boiling water over 1/2 pound almonds,
remove the brown skins, let the almonds lay in cold water for 24
hours and change the water 2 or 3 times; then pound the almonds in a
wedgewood mortar with 2 tablespoonfuls water and the juice of 1/2
lemon; press them through a sieve and mix with 1/2 pound powdered
sugar into a stiff paste; put the paste into a porcelain-lined
saucepan and stir over the fire until it loosens itself from bottom
of saucepan; remove the paste from the fire and when cold put some
powdered sugar on a pastry board, lay the paste on the sugar and
work it into a round ball; then set it in a cool place 1 hour before
using.

669. +Boiled Paste (Pate a choux).+-- Place a saucepan with 1 pint
water or milk over the fire and add 1 cup butter, 1-1/2 tablespoonfuls
sugar, 1/4 teaspoonful salt and the peel of 1 lemon; as soon as it
boils sprinkle in slowly, stirring constantly, 1 pint sifted flour;
continue stirring until it has formed into a smooth paste and
loosens itself from bottom of saucepan; transfer the paste to a dish
and let it cool; then mix it by degrees with 8 whole eggs and use
for cream cakes, chocolate eclairs and other small cakes.

670. +Nudels.+-- Sift 1 cup flour in a bowl and add a pinch of salt,
a piece of butter the size of a hazel nut, 1 egg and 1 tablespoonful
water; mix this into a stiff paste and work it well on a board so it
does not stick to the hands; then divide it into 4 equal parts; roll
each part out as thin as paper and let them lay on a board to dry
for 10 minutes; then cut them into strips 1 inch wide; lay 4 strips
over one another and cut them as fine as possible, like fine straws;
when all are cut scatter the nudels all over the board and let them
lay till dry; then use or put them away in a box; they will keep for
some time. The yolks of 2 eggs may be used instead of 1 whole egg.
Nudels are used for puddings or souflees and serve as a dessert;
they are also largely used in soup. They should always be put into
boiling water, soup or milk and boiled 10 minutes when wanted for
use.

671. +Mince Pie.+-- 1 pound finely chopped boiled beef, 1/2 pound
finely chopped suet, 1 pound well washed and dried currants, 1 pound
stoned raisins, 1 pound finely cut citron, 1 pound sugar, 1/2
teaspoonful salt, the juice and a little grated rind of 2 oranges,
the juice and grated rind of 1 lemon, 1 pint cider, 1/2 pint brandy, 1/2
pint sherry wine, 1 teaspoonful ground cloves, 1 teaspoonful
cinnamon, 1 teaspoonful mace, 1 grated nutmeg and 3 pounds finely
chopped apples; mix all the ingredients well together and use;
sufficient for 6 good sized pies. If this mince meat, is to be kept
for any length of time omit the apples and fill the mince meat into
glass jars; close tightly and keep them in a cool place. It will
then keep all winter. When wanted to make pies of take 1 jar at a
time and mix the mince meat with an equal portion of chopped apples;
line 2 pie plates with rich pie crust, fill them with the mince
meat, cover with same crust as directed (see Directions for Pies),
cut a small opening in center and one on each side of upper crust
and place the pie in a medium hot oven to bake; when done remove it
from oven and pour a little good brandy in center, sides and
openings and serve warm. Mince pies will keep in a cool place for
two weeks, but they should always be put for 10 or 15 minutes in the
oven to heat through before serving. For a large quantity of mince
meat put 8 pounds beef off the round in a kettle of boiling water,
add 1 tablespoonful salt and boil till tender; when done remove the
kettle from the fire and set aside to cool; then take out the meat,
remove all skin, fat and hard part and chop the meat as fine as
possible; then weigh the chopped meat and take for each pound the
same ingredients as in above recipe; put it away in well closed jars
without the apples.

672. +Mock Mince Pie.+-- 3 finely rolled soda crackers, 1 cup well
washed currants, 1/2 cup stoned raisins, 1/2 cup finely cut citron, 1/2
teaspoonful ground cloves, 1 teaspoonful cinnamon, 1/2 grated nutmeg,
1/2 teaspoonful salt, 1 tablespoonful butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup
molasses, 1/2 cup brandy or wine, the juice of 1 orange and a little
grated rind, the juice and grated rind of 1/2 lemon and 1/4 pound dried
apples; wash and stew the dried apples till tender; add the 1/2 cup
sugar and sufficient boiling water to make 3 cupfuls stewed apples;
set aside to cool; then mix them first with the rolled soda
crackers, by degrees with all the other ingredients and use as
directed for pies; sufficient for 3 medium sized pies or 2 large
ones. A good plan is to leave a small opening in center of upper
crust and when the pies are done pour a little brandy into it.

673. +Apple Pie, No. 1.+-- Line a pie plate with crust as directed
(see Directions for Pies); pare, quarter and cut greening or pippin
apples into fine slices; fill the plate with apples, sprinkle over
some sugar (about 2 tablespoonfuls for a medium sized pie), cover
with crust and bake till apples are done and the crust has attained
a delicate light brown color. If the flavor is liked a pinch of
cinnamon and nutmeg may be added. In the spring of the year the
juice of 1/2 lemon squeezed over the apples of each pie is a great
improvement, as the apples have lost a great part of their flavor.
Apple pies are best when eaten the same day they are baked. If they
stand over till next day they should be put in the oven for about 10
minutes 1 hour before serving. They will then be as good as fresh
pies; otherwise the crust is apt to be tough.

674. +Apple Pie, No. 2.+-- Make an apple pie the same as in foregoing
recipe; put 1/2 tablespoonful butter in small bits over the apples,
grate over a very little nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon, add no
sugar, leave a small opening in center of upper crust and bake until
done; in the meantime boil 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water 5 minutes;
when the pie is done put a small funnel in the opening in center of
upper crust and pour the syrup carefully through it into the pie;
set the pie aside and serve when cold. The pie plate should be deep
and large for this pie.

675. +Apple Pie, No. 3.+-- Line a large, deep pie plate with fine pie
crust, fill the plate with finely cut tart apples, sprinkle over 1/2
cup sugar, dust over a little flour and cover with crust; leave a
small opening in center of upper crust and bake till done; 10
minutes before the pie is taken from the oven put a small funnel in
the opening in the center of upper crust and pour carefully 1/2 cup
sweet hot cider through the funnel into the pie; when done remove
the pie from oven and serve when cold. Another way is:--Stew the
apple peels and cores in water till tender; then strain them through
a coarse bag, return the liquid to saucepan and boil 10 minutes;
then add for 1 cup liquid 1 cup sugar, boil 10 minutes longer and
pour the hot syrup into the pie in place of cider.

676. +Apple-Citron Pie.+-- Line a deep pie plate with rich pie crust,
fill it with finely cut tart apples, lay small pieces of butter
between the apples, sprinkle over each pie 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup
finely cut citron, add 2 tablespoonfuls currant or apple jelly,
cover with crust and bake till done.

677. +Apple Meringue Pie.+-- Press 1 pint stewed apples through a
sieve, sweeten to taste and add the juice of 1/2 lemon, a little
grated nutmeg and the yolks of 4 eggs; line a pie plate with crust,
cover with buttered paper, fill the plate with dried peas and bake
till crust is a light brown; remove paper and peas, fill in the
mixture, return pie to oven and bake till done; in the meantime beat
the 4 whites to a stiff froth and add 1 tablespoonful powdered sugar
and a little essence of lemon; when pie is done draw it to front of
oven, spread over the meringue and let it remain for a few minutes
longer in oven; then take it out and serve when cold.

678. +Dried Apple Pie.+-- Wash 1/2 pound dried apples, put them in a
saucepan with plenty of cold water, cover and place saucepan over
the fire and stew till done; then add 1 cup sugar; pour the apples
into a dish and set aside; when cold line 2 pie plates with fine pie
crust, brush the surface of crust over with beaten egg and sprinkle
over some bread or zwieback crumbs; fill in the stewed apples, cover
with crust and bake till done. Dried peaches or apricots can be used
the same way.

679. +Tutti Frutti Pie.+-- Pare and cut fine 10 large tart apples,
put them with 2 tablespoonfuls butter in a saucepan over the fire
and add 6 tablespoonfuls sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls finely cut citron,
1/2 cup seedless raisins, the same quantity of well washed currants
and the grated rind of 1/2 orange or lemon; stir this over the fire
till apples are soft and add 1/2 cup currant or apple jelly; line a
pie plate with fine pie crust, fill the plate full with the apples,
cover with crust, in which a small opening should be cut in center,
and bake till done; boil the peels and cores of apples with a little
water till tender; strain them through a jelly bag, return the
liquid to saucepan and boil 10 minutes; add to 1 cup liquid 1 cup
sugar and boil 5 minutes longer; when pie is done take it from the
oven, put a small funnel into the opening in center, pour carefully
some of the apple syrup through the funnel into the pie and serve
when cold.

680. +Cherry Pie.+-- Line a pie plate with crust and remove the pits
from 1 quart nice, ripe cherries; fill the fruit into the plate,
sprinkle over some sugar and dust over a little flour; cover with
top crust, with a small opening in center, and bake in a medium hot
oven; in the meantime stew 1 cup cherries in a little water till
tender; strain them, return the liquid to saucepan and boil 5
minutes; add to 1 cup liquid 1 cup sugar and continue the boiling
for 5 minutes; remove from fire, add a little brandy or wine and
pour this syrup, when pie is done, through a funnel into the pie.
Another way is:--Do not stone the cherries; after the plate is lined
with crust fill it full with cherries, dust over some flour,
sprinkle them with sugar and add 3 tablespoonfuls water to each pie;
cover with crust and bake till done. Another way is:--Boil 1/2 cup
currant juice with 1/2 cup sugar for 5 minutes and when the pie (made
like the first one) is done pour the currant syrup through a small
funnel into the pie. This is an excellent way to give cherries which
have not much flavor a nice taste.

681. +Banana Pie.+-- 4 large bananas, 1 cup milk, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup
sugar, 1/2 tablespoonful melted butter and 1 teaspoonful essence of
vanilla; remove the skins and press the bananas through a sieve; mix
them with the 4 yolks, sugar, milk, melted butter and vanilla; line
a deep pie plate with crust, ornament the edge, lay in a piece of
buttered brown paper, fill the plate with dry peas or with pieces of
stale bread and bake till done; remove it from oven, free the plate
from paper and peas, return the plate for a few minutes to oven
again, fill in the banana mixture and bake till done; in the
meantime beat the whites to a stiff froth and add 1 tablespoonful
powdered sugar; draw the pie to front of oven, spread over the
meringue, let it remain for a few minutes longer in oven, take it
out, set it in a cool place and serve ice cold.

682. +Pineapple Pie.+-- Pare 1 ripe pineapple, remove the eyes and
hard core in center and chop it fine; line a deep pie plate with
fine pie crust, fill it with the finely chopped pineapple, sprinkle
over 1 small cup sugar and dust a little flour over; cover the pie
with crust and bake a light brown and well done; put the eyes and
cores of the pineapple with 6 greening apples cut into pieces in a
saucepan, nearly cover them with water and boil till tender; then
strain through a bag, return the liquid to saucepan and boil 20
minutes; then add for 1 cup liquid 1 cup sugar, boil 5 minutes and
fill the jelly into tumblers. This makes an excellent pineapple
jelly.

683. +Pineapple Pie (with Meringue).+-- 1 large, ripe pineapple, 1/2
cup milk, 1 cup sugar, the yolks of 4 eggs, 1 whole egg and 1/2
tablespoonful butter; pare and grate the pineapple; then mix it with
the sugar and other ingredients; melt the butter before adding it;
line a deep pie plate with fine pie crust, cover with buttered
paper, fill it with dry peas and bake till done; take it from the
oven, remove the paper and peas, fill in the pineapple mixture and
bake till done; in the meantime make the meringue, as follows:--

Beat the 4 whites to a stiff froth and mix it with 1 tablespoonful
powdered sugar; when pie is done draw it to front of oven, spread
over the meringue and return the pie for a few minutes to oven again
till the meringue is a light brown; serve ice cold. This will make 1
large pie, sufficient for a family of 8 persons.

684. +Prune Pie.+-- Wash and soak 1 pound prunes for 4 hours in cold
water, drain them in a colander, remove the stones, put the prunes
in a dish, pour over 1 cup cold water and let them stand over night;
next morning line 2 pie plates with crust, put in the prunes with
the liquor, sprinkle over some sugar and a little flour, cover with
top crust and bake till light brown and well done. Another way
is:--Stew the prunes in a little water, remove the stones, sweeten
the prunes with sugar, add the juice of 1/2 lemon and finish as above.

cracker crumbs; take 1 can preserved peaches, drain off the liquor,
put them in the pie plate (with the hollow side up), sprinkle over a
little flour, a few spoonfuls sugar, pour over some of the liquor
and bake in a medium hot oven till done; in the meantime make the
meringue, as follows:--Beat the whites of 5 eggs to a froth, mix
them with 2 tablespoonfuls powdered sugar and flavor with a little
essence of vanilla; when pie is done draw it to front of oven,
spread over the meringue and bake for a few minutes longer; remove
it from the oven and set the pie in a cool place; serve cold;
sufficient for 10 persons.

687. +Peach Mountain Pie.+-- Pare 1 dozen medium sized peaches; line

rise to double their size; then brush them over with melted butter;
put 1 cup milk, 1/2 tablespoonful butter and 1 tablespoonful sugar in
a pan which is large enough to hold the nudels without touching each
other and can be covered tightly; put the pan on top of stove and as
soon as the milk boils put in the nudels, cover tightly and let them
boil slowly; when the milk has boiled away and the nudels begin to
fry in the butter (which can be heard and smelt) draw them to side
of stove and let them remain for a few minutes; transfer them to a
deep dish and serve with vanilla or snow sauce; the above will make
20 nudels and will take about 1/2 hour to cook. NOTE.--If the nudels
are not all wanted for dessert the remaining ones can be baked in
the oven and served for tea as a substitute for biscuits.

previously dipped in hot water, wrung out and dusted with flour on
the inside before the dumpling is put into it; drop them into
boiling water which is slightly salted, boil 1/2 hour and serve with
cherry wine sauce. NOTE.--A good pie crust can also be used for this

the mixture with a tablespoon into the boiling water, taking care
not to put too much in at once; cover the kettle and boil the
dumplings just 10 minutes; remove them with a skimmer to a warm dish
and serve at once with the following sauce:--Stir 2 tablespoonfuls
butter with 1 cup powdered sugar to a cream and add by degrees 1
egg, 2 tablespoonfuls brandy or wine, the juice of 1 orange and a

or pears and boil them in sugar syrup until done, but in such a way
that the pieces stay whole; then take them out with a skimmer and
lay on a long dish; in the meantime prepare some dumplings as
follows:--Place 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoonful butter over the
fire; as soon as it boils stir in 1 cup sifted flour and stir
constantly until it has formed into a smooth dough and loosens
itself from the bottom of saucepan; after the dough has cooled stir

circle around the fruit; pour the syrup over them and serve. These
dumplings may also be made with dried fruit.

794. +Plain Suet Dumplings.+-- 1 pint bread crumbs soaked in 1 cup
milk, 1/2 pound suet freed from strings and chopped fine, 4 eggs
(whites and yolks beaten separately), 1 tablespoonful sugar, 1

and a little water into a thick batter, drop a small portion of the
mixture with a teaspoon into the boiling apple syrup and boil 5
minutes; remove them, lay in a circle around the apples and pour the
syrup over them. A few slices of lemon may be boiled with the syrup.
This dish can also be made of pears, dried apples or apricots.

796. +Apple Dumplings (with Rice).+-- Place 1/2 pound rice in a
saucepan over the fire with cold water, boil 3 minutes and drain in
a colander, rinsing with cold water; then put it back on the fire in
the same saucepan with 1 pint milk, 1/2 teaspoonful salt, 1/2
teaspoonful sugar and a little piece of butter; boil until thick;
remove from the fire and mix it with 2 well beaten eggs; dip the
dumpling cloths in hot water, wring them out and flour well inside;
put 2 spoonfuls of the boiled rice upon each cloth, spread it out
smooth and lay in the center of each a peeled and cored apple; fill
the opening left by the removal of the core with currant jelly or

grated rind and juice of 1 lemon; put the flour into a tin pan and
set it in front of oven to get warm; put the eggs, sugar and lemon
into a deep stone mixing bowl; set the bowl into a large dishpan of
hot water in such a way that the bowl is half covered with water;
beat the contents of bowl with an egg beater for 3/4 hour; then slowly
add the flour, continue the beating for a few minutes longer and
pour the mixture into a large round pan or 2 medium sized ones; the
pan should be previously well buttered and lined with fine brown
buttered or waxed paper; bake 1 hour in a slow oven. Sponge cake
made according to this recipe is elegant, but care must be taken to
follow the instructions exactly. Half these quantities will make a
good sized cake. If the oven should be rather hot at the bottom put
in a large pie plate with salt, set the pan with cake onto it and
bake.

821. +Delicate Sponge Cake.+-- 9 eggs, 1-1/2 small cups granulated
sugar, 1-1/2 small cups flour (sifted 3 times) and the grated rind and

tablespoonfuls melted butter; measure after the butter is melted;
sift the flour in a bowl, add salt, sugar, grated lemon peel, the
eggs and mix the whole with the water into a batter; lastly add the
butter and anise seed; put a wafer iron over the fire; when hot
brush it over with melted lard; put 1 teaspoonful of the batter in
the center of wafer iron, close it and bake the cake a light brown
on both sides; as soon as one is done take it from the iron and roll
up like a tube; continue to bake the remaining batter the same way;
these quantities will make 50 cakes. 2 teaspoonfuls of vanilla sugar
may be used instead of anise seed. These cakes may be served either
with ice cream, wine or coffee.

823. +Macaroons.+-- Scald 1/2 pound sweet almonds with a few bitter
ones, remove the brown skins and spread the nuts out on paper to
dry; then pound them in a wedgewood mortar to a paste with the

rind of 1 lemon; mix it with 1/2 pound powdered sugar and 2
tablespoonfuls clear icing made as follows:--Take 1/2 the white of 1
egg, mix it with 2 tablespoonfuls sifted powdered sugar and stir for
a few minutes; then add it to the almonds; mix the whole into a firm
paste and form with the hands into small round balls the size of a
hickory nut; line some shallow tin pans with brown paper (such as is
used for wrapping paper), but do not butter it; set the balls in
even rows, one inch apart, on the paper, flatten each one a little
with a wet finger and bake them in a medium hot oven to a golden
color; when done wet a pastry board with cold water and lay the
macaroons on the wet board with the paper side towards the board;
after 5 minutes the macaroons may be lifted from the paper, as the
dampness loosens them; the above quantities will make 50 macaroons.
Great care should be taken to use the exact amount of ingredients
here stated.

824. +Cookies.+-- 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, the grated rind
of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoonful baking powder; stir the butter and

cloth and set in a warm place to rise to double its height; then
butter 4 long, shallow tin pans (12 inches long, 8 inches wide and 1
inch deep) and dust each one with flour; when the dough has attained
the desired lightness divide it into 4 equal parts; roll each part
out on the pastry board, put it into the pan, press evenly all over
and again set it to rise to top of pan; when ready to bake brush
each cake over with melted butter, sprinkle over 2 tablespoonfuls
granulated sugar mixed with a little cinnamon and bake in a quick
oven to a light brown; as soon as done remove the cakes from the
pans and lay them on a long platter, one over the other, with the

together, sprinkle this over the 2 cakes and bake immediately in a
quick oven till done and a light brown. Prepared flour may be
substituted for baking powder.

827. +Apple Cake.+-- Prepare a dough the same as for Butter Cakes and
divide it into 6 parts, as the dough for Apple Cake has to be
thinner than for Butter Cakes; line 6 shallow tin pans with the
dough and set it to rise to double its height; in the meantime pare,
core and cut into eighths some large, tart apples and lay them
together closely in long rows over the cake; drop 1 tablespoonful
melted butter over each cake, sprinkle over some granulated sugar
and bake in a hot oven; when done dust with powdered sugar.

make a hollow in center and put in the yeast and some of the milk;
commence mixing it with the right hand; next add the egg, butter and
the remaining milk; set it in a warm place till very light; then
work with sufficient sifted flour into a soft dough and let it rise
again till very light; then roll it out 1 inch in thickness and cut
into rounds with a cake cutter; brush the rounds with melted butter,
double them over and set in buttered pans 1 inch apart; let them
rise to double their size and bake to a fine golden color; while hot
brush them over with melted butter.

832. +Bread.+-- 2 quarts flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, 2 teaspoonfuls
sugar, small tablespoonful lard or butter, 1-1/2 pints lukewarm water,
1 of Fleischmann's yeast cakes. Break the yeast cake into a cup, add
1 teaspoonful sugar and sufficient lukewarm water to fill the cup,

fine in the flour; then make a hollow in centre of flour, pour in
the yeast and the remaining water, stir it with a spoon into a stiff
dough, turn it on to a floured board and work it with the hands and
some flour until it does not stick to the hands; return the dough to
the bowl, cover and let it stand in a warm place to rise. When the
dough has risen to double its size, butter 2 brick-shaped pans or
use the crusty bread pans, dust them with flour, divide the dough
into 2 equal parts, mould them into loaves on the board, put them
into the buttered pans, cover and let stand till the dough is to top
of pan, place it in medium hot oven and bake 1 hour. If the bread is
to be mixed at night take only 1/2 yeast cake, otherwise proceed the
same as above.




COFFEE.


833. +How to Make Coffee.+-- Coffee should always be bought in the
bean and ground when wanted. It should never be allowed to boil, as
all the fine aroma is thereby lost. The finest, quickest and most
economical way to make coffee is by making it in a bag made as
follows:--Take a piece of coarse unbleached muslin, about 3/8 yard
long and 3/8 yard wide, costing about 5 cents per yard; fold on the
bias to a point, sew it together in such a way that the bag has the
shape of a funnel and hem it on the top; then place the bag in the
coffee pot; let the point hang so that it does not quite reach the
bottom; let the top of bag lay over the outside of the coffee pot;
then put in 1 cup freshly ground coffee, pour over 1/2 pint boiling
water and let it stand 1 minute; then add 1 quart boiling water and
let it stand about 3 minutes on side of stove; have ready the urn in
which the coffee is to be served, which should be well rinsed with
boiling water, pour in the coffee and serve at once; pour more
boiling water over the coffee grounds and let it stand on side of
stove for a short while; then serve the same way; the second coffee
will be found nearly as good as the first. If the coffee is too
strong add more water; if not strong enough add less water, as some
like it strong and others do not. Another way is to take 3 heaping
tablespoonfuls freshly ground coffee and 6 cups boiling water; grind
the coffee as fine as possible; rinse out the coffee pot with
boiling water, put in the coffee and pour on enough boiling water to
cover it well; let it stand in a warm place for 5 minutes, but do
not allow it to boil; then add the remaining boiling water, let it
stand for a few minutes and either serve in the same coffee pot in
which it was made or strain through a fine sieve into a hot silver
or china coffee urn and serve at once. This is also an easy and
economical way of making good coffee, but the first-named method is
the best.

claret. If objected to the wine may be omitted.

835. +How to Serve Watermelon.+-- Cut a watermelon in half
lengthwise; then cut each half first in two and then into long
pieces about 2 inches in thickness; arrange the pieces nicely on an
oblong plate and serve. The melon should lay for several hours on
ice before being cut, as it is not nice unless cold.

836. +Plum and Peach Salad.+-- Choose 1 dozen large egg plums, cut
them in two and remove the pits; pare and quarter 1/2 dozen large,
ripe peaches and put them in layers alternately with the plums in a

the dish on ice for 1 or 2 hours and serve. If not handy the jelly
may be omitted.

838. +Peach and Pear Salad.+-- Pare and cut into fine slices 4 large,
ripe Bartlett pears; pare and cut into quarters 1/2 dozen large, ripe
peaches; put them with the pears into a glass dish with a layer of
whipped cream and sugar between and serve at once.

currants and wash and drain them; also wash and drain 1 quart
raspberries and put them into a glass dish with 1-1/2 cups sugar; cover
and let them stand for 3 or 4 hours before serving.

842. +How to Serve Blackberries.+-- Put blackberries into a colander,
let cold water run over them and set colander for a few minutes into
a dishpan to drain; put the berries into a glass dish with powdered
sugar. Huckleberries are prepared the same way.

843. +Banana and Orange Salad.+-- Remove the skins from 4 bananas and

SALADS.


846. +Fine Mayonaise, No. 1.+-- The yolks of 4 eggs, 8 tablespoonfuls
salad oil, 4 tablespoonfuls white vinegar, 1 teaspoonful salt, 2
teaspoonfuls sugar, from 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls French mustard and 1/2
pint whipped cream or 3 tablespoonfuls condensed milk which is not
sweet; put the yolks in a small saucepan and stir them to a cream;
then slowly add, stirring constantly, 4 tablespoonfuls oil; when
this is well mixed add the 4 spoonfuls vinegar, set the saucepan in
a vessel of boiling water and stir over the fire till contents of
saucepan begin to thicken; then instantly remove and continue the
stirring until cold; then slowly add the remaining 4 spoonfuls oil,
stirring constantly; next add the salt and sugar; then the mustard
and lastly the cream or condensed milk. This mayonaise is excellent
if made exactly according to recipe. These quantities will make a
mayonaise sufficient for 10 persons. If the mayonaise is not all
wanted at one time fill it into jelly glasses without the cream. It
will then keep for some time. The cream can be added when wanted for
use.

847. +Mayonaise, No. 2.+-- 2 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls oil, 2
tablespoonfuls vinegar, 1 teaspoonful sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful salt, 2
tablespoonfuls French mustard and 4 tablespoonfuls whipped cream or

into a small vessel and stir them to a cream; add by degrees the
oil, stirring constantly; then slowly add the vinegar, set the
vessel in a saucepan of boiling water and stir and boil till the
contents of saucepan begin to thicken; then remove from fire and
stir until cold; add the salt, mustard, sugar and vinegar; beat the
whites to a stiff froth and slowly add them to the above mixture;
stir in the cream or condensed milk just before the salad is to be
dressed. These quantities will make a salad sufficient for 8
persons. If it is not to be all used at one time put it into a small
glass or stone jar (without the cream or milk) and cover tightly to
exclude the air. If kept in a cool place it will keep for some time.
When wanted for use add the cream. This mayonaise is both cheap and
excellent.

848. +Plain Mayonaise.+-- Put some cracked ice into a dishpan and
place a bowl in the center of the ice; put the yolks of 4 eggs into
a bowl and stir them well with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes; then
slowly add 1/2 bottle best olive oil; add only a few drops at a time
and stir constantly; if too much oil is added at one time it will
not mix together; if the sauce gets too thick add a little vinegar
and lastly a few tablespoonfuls whipped cream, salt and vinegar to
taste. Another way is to rub the yolks of 2 hard boiled eggs fine
and mix them with 2 raw yolks; otherwise finish the same as
foregoing recipe.

849. +Sauce Tartare.+-- Mix 1 pint mayonaise made as in preceding
recipe with 1 tablespoonful French mustard and 1 teaspoonful English
mustard mixed, 3 anchovies freed from skins and bones and pressed
through a sieve, some finely chopped parsley, small, chopped onion,
4 tablespoonfuls chopped capers, some vinegar and pepper; this sauce
is mostly served with cold meat.

850. +Mayonaise without Eggs (economical).+-- 1 teaspoonful
cornstarch, 1/2 cup boiling water, 6 tablespoonfuls oil, 3
tablespoonfuls French mustard, 1 teaspoonful salt, 2 teaspoonfuls
sugar, 4 tablespoonfuls vinegar and 1 tablespoonful condensed milk
which is not sweet; mix the cornstarch with a little cold water, add
the 1/2 cup boiling water and stir and boil for a few minutes; then
set aside to cool; put the mustard into a bowl and gradually add the
oil, stirring constantly; next add the sugar, salt and vinegar; then
the cornstarch and lastly the milk.

851. +Salad Dressing without Oil, No. 1.+-- 2 ounces butter, 2 eggs,
2 tablespoonfuls vinegar, 1 teaspoonful sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful salt
and 2 tablespoonfuls French mustard; melt the butter in a cup by
setting it into hot water for a few minutes and then set it aside to
cool; stir the yolks in a small vessel with salt and sugar to a
cream and add the melted butter, a little at a time, stirring
constantly; next slowly add the vinegar, set the vessel in a
saucepan of hot water and stir until the contents begin to thicken;
then remove, stir until cold and slowly add the other ingredients;
beat the whites to a stiff froth and mix them with the sauce; if
handy add a few tablespoonfuls cream; if English mustard is used
take 1 teaspoonful mixed with cold water.

852. +Salad Dressing without Oil, No. 2.+-- 1 teaspoonful flour, 1/2
cup boiling water, 1 tablespoonful butter, 2 tablespoonfuls vinegar,
1 teaspoonful sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful salt and 2 tablespoonfuls French
mustard; mix the flour with a little cold water, add the boiling
water, boil 2 minutes and add the butter in small pieces; remove
from fire and mix by degrees with the vinegar, then the mustard and
the other ingredients; to this sauce the yolks of 2 eggs may be
added and also the 2 whites beaten to a stiff froth; or the yolks of
2 hard boiled eggs rubbed through a sieve and the whites chopped
fine and sprinkled over the salad.

853. +How to Prepare Lettuce for Salad and for Garnishing.+-- Cut off
the stalks from 3 or 4 heads of lettuce, pick off all the decayed
and withered leaves, break the tender green leaves apart one by one
and remove the thick veins; put the lettuce into cold water, rinse
well and let it lay in ice water for 1/2 hour or longer; shortly
before serving drain the lettuce in a colander; then put it in a
napkin, shake out well and use as directed.

854. +Lettuce Salad (plain).+-- Prepare the lettuce as in foregoing
recipe, lay it into a salad dish and pour over 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls
salad oil and a little pepper and salt; add to 1/2 cup white vinegar 4
tablespoonfuls water and pour it over the salad; mix it up well with
2 salad forks, sprinkle over a little cracked ice and serve at once.
If ice is not handy the salad will have to be prepared without it,
but it adds greatly to the crispness of the lettuce. If you rub a
piece of garlic over the salad dish just before putting in the
lettuce it will give the salad a fine flavor without really tasting
of garlic. A small spoonful of sugar may be sprinkled over the
lettuce if liked. Finely shaved onions may also be added.

855. +Lettuce Salad with Mayonaise.+-- Prepare the salad as directed,
put it into a salad dish and pour over a mayonaise dressing. Finely
shaved onions may be added if liked.

856. +Lettuce Salad with Sweet Egg Sauce.+-- Cut 2 ounces fat pork
into very small dice and fry them a light brown; beat 2 or 3 eggs
until very light and slowly add the pork, 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls
vinegar and 2 tablespoonfuls sugar; mix this well together and pour
it over the salad. This recipe will make a sufficient quantity to
dress 3 heads of lettuce. More vinegar diluted with a little water
may be added; also more or less sugar.

857. +Lettuce Salad with Syrup Sauce (North German art).+-- Mix 1
tablespoonful flour in a small saucepan with a little cold water
until all lumps are dissolved, add 1 cup boiling water and stir and
boil for a few minutes; add 1 tablespoonful butter and continue
boiling for a few minutes longer; then transfer it to a bowl and set

tablespoonful mayonaise and sprinkle over a few capers; serve a
plate to each person.

914. +Onion Salad.+-- Take 2 large Bermuda or California onions, peel
and cut them with a sharp knife into fine slices, put a layer of the
slices into a salad dish and pour over some fine mayonaise; then put
over some cresses and pour over more mayonaise; continue in this way
until all is used; cover with mayonaise, lay some cresses in a
circle round the dish and let it stand on ice for 10 minutes; then
serve.

915. +Alligator Pear Salad.+-- Take 2 alligator pears, cut them into
slices and put them into a salad dish; remove the shells from 4 hard
boiled eggs, break the yolks into small pieces and sprinkle them
over the sliced pears; cut the whites into fine strips, lay them in
a circle round the dish close to the pears, pour over a fine
mayonaise and lay a border of tender lettuce leaves round the edge
of dish.

916. +Jerusalem Artichoke Salad.+-- Scrape the artichokes carefully
and drop them into vinegar and water; mix 1/2 tablespoonful flour with
a little cold water, stir it into a quart of boiling water and add 1
cup vinegar; as soon as this boils put in the artichokes and boil
them till done, but not too tender; when done remove them from the
water and set in a cool place; when cold cut the artichokes into
pieces, put them into a salad dish, pour over a mayonaise, set some
shrimp around the salad and set the dish on ice for 1 hour; when
ready to serve lay a border of lettuce leaves round the edge of
dish.

917. +Sour Jelly (Aspic).+-- Soak 2 ounces gelatine in 1/2 pint cold
water 15 minutes; then put it over the fire with 1 quart good meat
stock and sufficient vinegar to give it a nice sour taste; add a few
cloves, 2 blades mace and 1 bay leaf; stir this over the fire till
the gelatine is dissolved; beat the whites of 2 eggs till light and
add the juice of 1 lemon and a little cold water; stir it with an
egg beater into the jelly and stir and boil for a few minutes; then
draw the saucepan to side of stove and let it stand 5 minutes; then
strain through a jelly bag; or turn a chair upside down on a kitchen
table; then take a square piece of unbleached muslin and tie a
corner over each of the upturned legs of the chair; set a bowl
underneath and pour the jelly onto the cloth a little at a time and
keep the saucepan on the side of stove, to keep the jelly warm. If
meat stock is not handy dissolve 2 teaspoonfuls Liebig's beef
extract in 1 quart boiling water and use it instead of meat stock.
Another way is to boil 4 calves' feet till they fall apart; then
strain off the liquor, set it aside and when cold remove all the
fat; boil the liquor down to 2 quarts; then beat the whites of 4
eggs to a froth and add the juice of 1 lemon and a little water; add
to the broth sufficient white vinegar to give it a nice sour taste;
also add a little salt, some whole pepper corns, a few blades mace,
4 cloves and 1 bay leaf; stir in the beaten whites, continue
stirring, let the contents boil for a few minutes and let it stand 5
minutes; then draw to side of stove, let it stand 5 minutes and
strain through a flannel jelly bag. Pigs' feet or the skin of fresh
pork may be used instead of calves' feet. Sour jelly is used for
garnishing dishes of meat and salads. It is either chopped with a
knife or put into small fancy forms and when firm turned out and
laid around the dishes with cresses, lettuce or celery between. If
the jelly is not dark enough add a little sugar color (see Sugar
Color). If the jelly is white it may be colored green with green
spinach color or pink with cochineal.

918. +Garnishing.+-- The articles which are mostly used in garnishing
are:--Lettuce, cresses and hard boiled eggs (either cut into slices
or quarters or chopped fine, the yolks and whites separately, and
laid alternately in small clusters all over the salad); or cut green
pickles in slices and lay them in a circle around the salad with
small clusters of finely chopped beets and chopped eggs; small
girkins, capers, olives and very small, white pickled onions are
also used for garnishing. Another way is to cut boiled carrots,
white turnips and beets into fancy shapes, such as half moons,
stars, leaves and roses, with a vegetable cutter; anchovies are also
largely used in garnishing. They are freed from skins and bones and
then rolled up and laid in a circle around the dish with small white
onions, pink horseradish and olives or girkins.

919. +Horseradish for Garnishing.+-- Remove the outside black skin
from a large root of horseradish and wash it clean; then shave it
off with a knife in long narrow strips so they curl up; color 1/2 the
shavings with prepared cochineal and leave the other 1/2 white; then
use for decorating dishes of meats or salads by laying it in small
clusters around the dish.

920. +Cocoanut for Garnishing Salads.+-- Grate cocoanut and sprinkle
it over the top of salad. Especially nice over chicken, shrimp and
fish salads; also on potato, tomato and egg salads. Grated cocoanut
lends a handsome appearance to any salad.




ICES AND GLAZES.


921. +How to Use Icing.+-- Over large cakes pour the icing by
spoonfuls near center on top of cake and spread it with a
broad-bladed knife dipped in cold water all over the cake as
smoothly as possible; set it in a cool oven for a few minutes, then
in a dry, airy place, free from dust, to dry. Some icing does not
need to be put in the oven, as it dries immediately, as will be seen
from the directions given in following recipes. Small cakes are
dipped into the icing or into glaze and then laid on paper or tins
to dry. If the cake is to be ornamented make a paper funnel as
follows:--Take a piece of brown paper, not too thick, or white tea
paper 12 inches square and cut it through on the bias in two pieces
from one corner to the other; take one piece in your right hand, the
bias side from you, roll with the left hand, the bias side towards
you, and form the paper into a funnel; bend the end where it closes
near the top over to the inside, clip a small piece from the end of
funnel with a scissors and slip a small tube inside it to the end
opening; then put in the icing and bend the top of funnel in all
around the same way as 1/4 pound tea is put up in those small
funnel-shaped bags; next press the icing down towards the end and
commence to squirt it onto the cake. The cake may be ornamented with
a border and a harp in the center, or an anchor or any kind of a
pattern that may be desired. Flowers and leaves may be bought at any
confectionery and pasted on with a little icing.

922. +White Icing.+-- Sift 1/2 pound powdered sugar into a bowl, add
the whites of 2 eggs and stir 20 minutes; add a few drops lemon
juice while the stirring is going on; drop a little icing onto
paper; if the icing stands without running it is stiff enough; if it
shows the least tendency to run more sugar must be added. This icing
is used for ornamenting cake and serves as a kind of paste to stick
flowers and leaves onto top of cake.

923. +Clear Icing.+-- Sift 1/2 pound powdered sugar into a bowl, add
the whites of 2 eggs and stir for 5 minutes; add a few drops lemon
juice and stir 5 minutes longer; then spread it over the cake; set
the cake for 2 or 3 minutes in a cool oven, take out and let it dry
for a few hours in a dry place which is free from dust.

924. +White Icing with Wine or Liquor.+-- Mix 1/2 pound sifted powdered
sugar with the white of 1 egg and add 3 tablespoonfuls maraschino,
Madeira or sherry wine, kirsch, rum or brandy; before this icing is
put on cover the cake with a layer of jelly; then put the icing over
it and set the cake for 1 minute in the oven; then set it in a dry
place which is free from dust to dry. To make pink icing add a few
drops prepared cochineal or strawberry syrup. Yellow icing is made
by adding prepared saffron. Essence of lemon or the grated rind of 1
orange may be used instead of vanilla flavoring.

925. +Almond Icing.+-- Pound 3 ounces blanched almonds with the white
of 1 egg in a wedgewood mortar to a paste, mix them with 1/4 pound
powdered sugar, the white of 1/2 egg and 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla extract
and stir for 5 minutes; dip small pieces of cake into the icing;
pour and spread it over whole cakes with a broad-bladed knife. Hazel
nuts and walnuts may be used the same way as almonds, as can also
pistachio nuts. To the latter add a few drops spinach green.

926. +Fruit Icing.+-- Mix 1/2 pound sifted powdered sugar with the
white of 1 egg and add 3 tablespoonfuls fruit juice--either
raspberry, strawberry, currant, pineapple or peach; if lemon or
orange juice is used add a little grated rind; spread the icing over
the cake and set it for a few minutes in a cool oven; then set it in
a dry place which is free from dust to dry.

927. +Sugar Glaze.+-- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoonfuls
water and put it over the fire to get lukewarm; pour over the cake
and let it dry, which will take but a few minutes; dip small pieces
of cake into it. Glazes of raspberries, strawberries, pineapples,
peaches, wine, maraschino or rum are made the same way. Omit the
water and use 2 tablespoonfuls fruit juice or wine, whichever kind
is wanted.

928. +Maraschino Glaze.+-- Mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1
tablespoonful water and 1 tablespoonful maraschino, let it get warm
on the fire and pour while warm over the cake. It will get hard in a
few minutes. Rum glaze is made the same as Maraschino Glaze.

929. +Orange Glaze.+-- Mix 2 tablespoonfuls orange juice with 1 cup
powdered sugar, add a little grated rind, set over a slow fire to
get lukewarm and use it at once.

930. +Lemon Glaze.+-- Stir 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1
tablespoonful lemon juice, 1 tablespoonful water and a little grated
rind; let it get lukewarm; then spread it over the cake and set in a
dry place which is free from dust to dry.

931. +Coffee Glaze.+-- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoonfuls
strong coffee, let it get lukewarm and use at once.

932. +Wine Glaze.+-- Boil 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water until it
forms a thread between 2 fingers; remove it from fire, add 2
tablespoonfuls sherry or Madeira wine and stir for 1 or 2 minutes;
then quickly pour it over the cake and let it stand in a dry place
which is free from dust to harden.

933. +Boiled Cinnamon Glaze.+-- Boil 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and
1 teaspoonful powdered cinnamon until it forms a thread between 2
fingers; remove it from fire, stir for a few minutes and use at
once.

934. +Chocolate Glaze.+-- Melt 2 tablespoonfuls grated chocolate in
the oven and mix it with 2 tablespoonfuls sugar syrup; mix 1 cup
sugar with 1 tablespoonful water, add the chocolate, set it over a
slow fire to get lukewarm and use at once.

935. +Cinnamon Glaze.+-- Mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1
teaspoonful cinnamon, add 2 tablespoonfuls water, set it over a slow
fire, stir until lukewarm and use at once.

936. +Cold Sugar Glaze.+-- Mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 2
tablespoonfuls cold water and add 1 teaspoonful lemon or vanilla
extract; spread glaze over the cake and set it for 1 or 2 minutes in
a cool oven to obtain a glaze; then remove and set in a dry place
which is free from dust to dry. NOTE.--Instead of water any kind of
fruit juice syrup, wine, rum or Cognac may be used. If lemon juice
is used take 1/2 water, 1/2 juice and a little grated rind. For orange
use a little rum and 2 tablespoonfuls orange juice. For coffee use
instead of water 2 spoonfuls strong coffee. For chocolate stir in 2
tablespoonfuls grated chocolate or cocoa the same way, or melt the
chocolate in the oven and then add it to the sugar.

937. +Boiled Chocolate Glaze.+-- Place a small saucepan with 1/2 pound
sugar, 1/2 pound grated chocolate and 1/2 pint water over the fire and
stir and boil till it forms a thread between 2 fingers; remove from
fire and stir until a thin skin forms on top of glaze; then use it
at once; spread it evenly all over the cake and set for a few
minutes in a cool oven. If the glaze should become too cold before
it is all used return it to the fire and repeat again. The glaze
when done should shine like a mirror.

938. +Transparent Glaze.+-- Boil 1 cup sugar with 3/4 cup water until
it forms a thread between 2 fingers; remove it from fire, stir for a
few minutes and then quickly use; dip small pieces of cake into the
glaze, pour over large pieces and spread it apart; let it dry in an
airy room which is free from dust.

939. +Rose Glaze.+-- Boil 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water till it forms
a thread between 2 fingers; remove at once and add 2 tablespoonfuls
rose water and a little prepared cochineal, to color it to a
delicate pink; stir for a minute and then pour it over the cake.
Small cakes may be dipped into the glaze and set in a dry place
which is free from dust to dry.

940. +Spinning Sugar.+-- Put 3/4 pound loaf sugar in a small copper
kettle, add sufficient cold water to half cover the sugar and stir
until it is melted; then place the kettle over a strong fire and
boil the sugar to a crack (the 6th grade); add a few drops vinegar,
remove the kettle, dip it for a few minutes into cold water and let
it cool off a little; if the sugar is spun when too hot the threads
will be too thin and lumps will form; then place the kettle in a pan
of hot water, or on the side of stove, to keep the sugar warm; take
a large knife in the left hand and hold it out straight before you;
take a silver spoon in the right hand, dip it into the sugar without
touching the bottom of kettle and let some of the sugar run off from
the spoon; then spin long threads back and forth over the knife from
right to left; after a considerable amount of sugar is spun in this
way take it from the knife, lay on clean paper and spin the rest in
like manner; when all is spun form the sugar into pompoms, garlands,
bouquets, etc. Half the sugar may be colored with cochineal to a
delicate pink. The sugar should be spun in a place free from
draughts and in clear and dry weather. This sugar is used for
decorating and trimming dishes.

941. +Boiling Sugar.+-- Put 1 pound sugar into a kettle with 1/2 pint
water and let it stand for a few minutes; then put it over the fire
to boil; while the boiling is going on dip a small brush into cold
water and wipe off the sides and edge of kettle; the different
grades the sugar goes through in boiling are as follows:--1st grade,
broad run; 2d grade, small pearl; 3d grade, large pearl; 4th grade,
the small blubber; 5th grade, the large blubber; 6th grade, to a
crack; 7th grade, caramel; boil the sugar for a few minutes and dip
the point of a spoon into it; if the sugar falls in large drops from
the spoon it has reached the 1st grade; continue the boiling for a
few minutes longer; dip your first finger into it and press the
finger against the thumb; then open the fingers and if the sugar
forms a thread between the 2 fingers it has reached the 2d grade;
after boiling a little longer dip in a spoon and if a pearl hangs
onto a long thread of the spoon the sugar has reached the 3d grade;
after a few minutes longer boiling take a little in a spoon, blow it
and if the sugar falls from the spoon in blubbers it has reached the
4th grade; after a few minutes longer take a little of the sugar
between your fingers and quickly dip into cold water; if the sugar
can be formed into a ball it has reached the 5th grade; after a few
minutes longer dip the finger into the sugar and then quickly into
cold water; if the sugar can be broken it has reached the 6th grade;
then set the saucepan in cold water; if it boils a few minutes
longer it will have reached the 7th grade, or caramel. The principal
care in boiling sugar is to use the exact amount of water. With too
little water the sugar will curdle before it has boiled enough. If
too much water is used the sugar will have to boil too long and will
turn yellow. It should boil quickly and only for a short time. It
will then stay white.

Errors and Inconsistencies

Capitalization in headers is unchanged. French accents were corrected
when wrong, but missing accents were not supplied, except as noted.
Errors in recipe headers were generally corrected only if the Index
had the correct spelling.

The following spellings are used consistently:

  blanc-mange (with hyphen)
  Bunt (_for_ Bundt)
  cocoanut
  compote (without circumflex accent)
  Curacoa (with cedilla)
  gateau (without circumflex accent)
  girkin
  nudel, _plural_ nudels
  omelet _except in French recipe names_

These variable spellings were unchanged:

  arrac, arrack
  Bartlet, Bartlett
  fryingpan, frying pan (generally unspaced)
  mayonaise, mayonnaise (almost always with one "n")
  puree, puree, puree
    (all three occur, but "puree" with incorrect accent on the
    final "e" is the most common)
  sauciere, sauciere, saucere (also see Errata for recipe 494)
  soufle, souflee, souffle (rarely with two f's)

These words vary by typographic location: recipe header, body text or
index. Although some are obviously wrong (flau, veut, biroche) they
were left unchanged.

  plombiere (no accent: header and text), plombiere (grave: index)
  peche (no accent: header and text), peche (circumflex: index)
  flau (text and index), flan (header)
  vol-au-veut (text and index), vole-au-vent (header)
  creme (circumflex: text and index), creme (no accent: header)
  croute (circumflex: text and index), croute (no accent: header)
  brioche (header and index), biroche (most text)
