Boil in 1 qt. water, for 10 minutes, 3 qts. chopped rhubarb 3 oranges, quartered 3 or 4 in. broken cinnamon bark. Strain thoroughly, so that only the dry pulp is left. Strain the juice through cloth, and boil it for 3 minutes with 1/2 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Cool, and keep in bottles in the refrigerator. Mix half -in -half with soda water or ginger ale, and float an ice cube and a sprig of mint in the top of each glass. Strawberry Soda Sodas have slipped out of fashion — temporarily, I hope. No soda is as pretty as a strawberry soda, especially with a whole unhulled berry on top. Strawberry syrup is available in supermarkets. 2 tbs hulled crushed strawberries 1 tbs granulated sugar 2 tbs strawberry syrup 3 scoops good vanilla ice cream or Strawberry Ice Cream 2/3 cup chilled soda water 1 unhulled strawberry Combine the berries, sugar and syrup. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour about a third of this into a soda glass or any tall narrow 11/2 cup glass, add a scoop of the ice cream. another third of the strawberry mixture, another scoop of the ice cream, the rest of the strawberry mixture, then the last scoop of ice cream. Gently pour the soda water into the glass, top with the whole berry and serve immediately. Yields 1 big soda. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam This combination of fruit is an old Canadian favourite. 4 cups hulled strawberries 4 cups rhubarb, in 1/2" pieces 6 cups granulated sugar Combine the ingredients in a preserv- ing kettle. Let stand 4 hours, stirring occasionally. As the sugar dissolves, juices will flow. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. The jam usually takes about 18 to 20 minutes to thicken and set. Remove from heat, skim and stir 4 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Yields about five 8 oz. jars.
