Cherries. --Canned with a thin syrup with the stones, or preserv- ed in a thick syrup if pitted, are two ways of putting up cherries. • Canned cherries are undoubtedly best if steam ` hooked, but -a good deal depends upon the cherry, which is best if put up shortly al er it leaves the tree. It is: quite .c -a- monly believed hat 'bbs flavor irf the seed gives a richness to the pre- served cherry that it heeds, and various ways are used to secure this flavor, even when the cherry is pit- ted. One way is to _ wash and re- move the ,stems of the cherries, then put rthem in an earthenware baking dish in the oven till hot. This is the method used to get the flavor of the seeds when they are to be re- moved and the cherries used for making pies or tarts. When pre- pared this way for the later ser- vice no water is needed other than the juice, some of w.hich is pressed out in seeding them. Syrups.—There are three grades of syrup properly, but many varia- tions from these the light, the medium, the heavy. The light syr- up is for canning, and when the steam .method is used, it may be thinner than when the fruit is sim- ply cooked in the cans.' For the heavier fruits four cups of water to two cups of sugar, cooked to syrup stage and cooled before it is pour- ed over . the uncooked ,fruit .packed in the -cans, is one' which will keep perfectly if the cans are well ster- ilized. d. Peo 1e who use one syrup Py P for all fruits generally use a small- er number of cups of water than sugar, four cups of water to six of sugar sometimes, and have .the wa- ter bailing. The less sugar there is in summer preserves the better they will be relished, A heavy syrup has four parts of sugar to one of water. Fars should be thoroughly steril- ized, by boiling for at least fifteen; minutes before the fruit is packed in them, even if it is to be cooked in the jars. The sterilization must be unquestionably thorough if fruit is to keep for any length of time. Heat is the sterilizer, and it must be applied in sufficient amounts and at the beginning of the process of canning, It will usually require less heat to sterilize fruit than it will glass jars that have been used several times over, Most of the smaller fruits need no more than five minutes of •boiling, and . the -jars need nueh more than this: A washboiler with a false bottom, a towel, or, even paper. over that, then the glasses filled with cold wa- ter,. set in and surrounded with cold waiter to their necks,' brought slowly to. a boil, and boiled for fif- teen minutes, these are the require- ments. But boiler, glasses, etc., should be as clean as .possible 'to start with, and it is anything but desirable to put a dish cloth on the false bottom of the boiler,, as some women have been known to do. It may contain germs that it would take an hour of boiling to kill. A circumstance like this may be the explanation of spoiled pre- serves. The length of time to cook de- pends upon the kind and ripeness of the fruit. If a fruit stews up quickly, about the same time as it requires to cock in the open pan should be given to it when in the jars. Gooseberries require but five minutes, while 'wherries not stoned might well be given twenty minutes, • Jelly Bases.—Before the apple conies rhubarb juice may be used with strawberries, peaches, and other fruits. for jellies. The spring rhubarb makes the best jellies, but it may be usi?d well into the sum- mer if one learns how to cook it. The thing to keep in mind is that the juice is rather mucilaginous, so that when it appears thick it may not be sufficiently 'cooked so that it will jelly. A few drops of lemon juice will help it to jelly. Currant and Raspberry jelly. — There is considerable difference of opinion as to what is the beat way to extract the juice from the cur- rant. A good jelly may be made by coveringthem, in the cluster, with cold water and cooking. Or a few of the currants are pressed and broken in the bottom of the kettle and the others put in whole. Ice Cream Recipes. Orange Mousse.—Take one and one half cupfuls of the juice of sweet oranges and one fourth of a cupful of lemon juice, Mix 'with two cupfuls of sugar. Whip one pint of heavy cream until it i s_firm . Add the fruit juice and the sugar, and one cupful of English walnut meats that have been chopped fine. Fide a mould and pack it in ice and salt. Leave it for four hours. Chocolate he Cream with Cin- namon Sauce. — Those who have never combined the flavors of cin- namon and chocolate have a 'treat in store. Make a syrup of one pint of granulated sugar and one hall cupful of water. When all the en - gar is , dissolved, boil the syrup gently for perhaps a minute, then add one-fourth teaspoonful of cin-. namon waxed. Serve the same ..cold with chocolate 'ice cream, Tortoni.—Boil together an even half -cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of cold water until it .slight- ly strings from the ,spoon. Beat three eggs thoroughly, add the boil- ing -sugar slowly, beating all the While (about twenty minutes). Mix one-half pint of cream, and one cupful of milk, and whip the mass 'sniff. Mix all the ingredients to- gether' and one teaspoonful of van- illa and ten dry maocaroons, pow- dered fine. . Put the mixture in a moizld, and pack ib in ice and salt for six hours or longer. Sugared Ice Cream. -Make cara- mel sugar by 'placing granulated sugar in an aluminum pan over a e slow fire, When the sugar is liquid and a golden brown, remove from the fire and cool. Roll or pound the sugar to a powder. When serv- ing plain vanilla ice cream, powder with the prepared sugar the inside of the cooled glass in which the individual service is to bo placed ; fill the glass with ice ere.am, and powder with the sugar. If desired, blanched almonds may be added to the sugar just before removing from the fire. Frozen _Cherry Custard.—Scald one pint of.milk in a double boiler, Beat the yolks of six eggs, add one cupful of sugar, and continue beat- ing until smooth. Stir the eggs and sugar .slowly into the hot milk, and continue cooking until the mix- ture thickens sufficiently to coat the spoon. Remove at once from the fire.' Add one pint of cream and one tablespoonful of vanilla, and continue stirring until partly cool. When cold, begin to freeze, and when the mixture is half frozen add one cupful of candied cherries cut into small pieces, and finish freezing. Household Hints. Cherries or strawberries com- bined with bits of pineapple is a new combination for tarts. Turpentine has the same whiten- ing, cleansing effect that kerosene has on a boilerful of clothes. Whitening dissolved in warm wa- ter will easily clean white enamel furniture and help to keep it" a good color. - A'biscuit top over blueberries, peaches, apples or strawberries, the whole steamed and "served with hard sauce makes a delicious pud- ding. The best foods to choose for cook- ing in the fireless cooker are those which take a long while to pre- pare—soups, pot roasts, beans, etc. Leather covered furniture should be wiped over with a clean cloth wrung out of warm, soapy water, and when dry rubbed over with white of egg. Tapestry -covered chairs can be cleaned by means of a mixture of dry bran and calcined magnesia. It should be rubbed in and left some time before being brushed away. Save all the lemon hulls, drop them into the vessel in which you boil your tea towels, and it will whiten them wonderfully, and there will be a clean freshness about them that is very desirable.
