BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS Hello Homemakers’! Most of us consider using a spice’ in a standard cake or bread mixture for variety of flavour. We fre­ quently use cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg, cloves and allspice for their fragrance. Many years ago these spices were considered suitable gifts for kings. They were used as perfumes, bath oils and’ medicines foi’ the most part. When they were used tn food .the people knew spica was added to camouflage the tainted flavour. According to history, mer­ chants set sail around the world to obtain spices. It was said that Christopher Columbus was lured to the west to find a new route 'for the spice merchants. We also .read of the English gradually gaining possession of the Indian Empire as the spice trade increased-. The various spices .are deriv­ ed from different parts of dif­ ferent plants. For instance, cloves are the dried flower bud of the tropical clove tree of Zanzibar, off the east coast of Africa, Cinnamon is a fragrant spice known since Biblical times and is the pulverized in­ ner bark of the under branches of the laurel tree. It grows about 30 feet in height and flourishes from Ceylon to Ara­ bia. Cassia is similar in flavor to cinnamon and is sometimes substituted for it but it comes from the bark of a different laurel plant. The leaves, the fruit and the root of the laurel all yield oil of much value. Years ago the oil was used for making candles. Mace and nut- meg grow on the same tree which grows anywhere in the West Indies and Madagascar, There you find extensive groves of nutmeg trees which grow to the age of nine years before bearing 'fruit. The nutmeg is the kernel. By the way, this tree attains a height of 60 feet and is an evergreen. It has pointed leaves and pale yellow flowers which hang in drooping clusters resembling lilies of the valley. As the fruit ripens ,the fleshy part becomes hard; final­ ly splits open at the top dis­ closing a bright scarlet mem­ brane partly covering the nut. From this membrane comefe the mace we like for our fruit cakes. Grandmother .used to buy the nutmeg and grate it on. a small three Inch curved grater. Allspice so named because the mariner who discovered it be- lieved it could be used for other spices, is grown in Jama-, ica where it grows in wet, humid areas. ; Our familiar black pepper which is now so hard to obtain is the product of a climbing shrub grown in the ^ast Indies and other tropical climates. The plant bears a small green berry about the size of a pea .which turns red upon ripening. When the berries begin to change col­ our, they are gathered, cleaned and dried in the sun. As they become black they are sorted and sold as peppercorns. Ground and .sifted they form the real black pepper used in flavouring meats and pickles. Now that you may have read about spices, you may wish to make an aromatic cake or a different flavoured batch of muffins. Here are some recipes.
