Directions

1

Cranberry Sauce. — Put one quart of cranberries over the fire in enough cold water to cover them. One half pint should be sufficient. Let them cook slowly until broken to pieces. Then add one pound of sugar • stir until this melts, then take from the fire, put into a mold, and set aside to cool. This is the real old- fashioned cranberry sauce preferred by many to the jelly from which the berries have been removed.

2

Caper Sauce. — Melt a quarter of a pound of butter with a tablespoonful of flour; add a pint of sweet milk, let it come to a boil; season with salt and pepper, then add a teacup of capers, and four eggs boiled hard and minced fine. Cucumber pickles, well minced, make a nice substitute. This is a nice sauce for boiled meats. — Gulf City Cook Book.

Cook fifteen minutes. Add last one teaspoon lemon juice and serve.

6

Nut Conserve. — This is a novel and delicious conserve and should be in every storeroom. Thinly slice twelve large or- anges, add the juice and grated rind of four lemons, six pounds of raisins seeded and chopped, three pounds of English walnuts and a pound and a half of blanched chopped almonds. Dis- solve seven pounds of sugar in two pints of grape juice, add the above mentioned ingredients and simmer very slowly until
