RECIPES.
It is too bad that dried fruits are
neglected, They offer opportunities.
Apparently many of us forget that
most markets offer dried cherries, figs,
pears, apricots, prunes, apples and
peaches. Instead of cooking these in
the usual uninteresting way, try com-
bining two of them, taking care to
wash carefully. Remove the cares and
sterns and soak at least two hours in
warm water,
Apricots and pears, prunes and
peaches, apples and cherries, pears
and figs or figs and, apricots make ex-
cellent sauces when cooked slowly
with very little sugar. Apricots are
so piquant that they should be used
with something or served on cake or
as shortcake. They should be left;
rather tart, as this is their real value.
Open pies' made of the mashed and'
pitted fruit and covered with a mer-
ingue make a dessert supreme, Stale
slices of cake, softened with the juice
and hidden under the chilled fruite
topped with whipped cream, become'
anything but dried fruit sauce.
The oatmeal or whole wheat cereal'
