is understood that +butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or +vegetable oil may be used. + + +MEASUREMENTS + +All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this +book are level. + +The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into +fourths and thirds. + +To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess +with back of knife. + +One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon. + +Sift flour before measuring. + + +BAKING + +Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared +is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the +oven carefully before mixing the ingredients. + +When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. +A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another +indication that the cake is baked. + + +TABLE OF EQUIVALENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES + +1 saltspoon = 1/4 teaspoon +3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon +16 tablespoons = 1 cup +2 cups = 1 pint +2 pints = 1 quart +4 cups = 1 quart +2 cups granulated sugar = 1 pound +4 cups flour = 1 pound +2 cups butter = 1 pound +2 tablespoons butter = 1 ounce +2 tablespoons liquid = 1 ounce +4 tablespoons flour = 1 ounce +1 square unsweetened chocolate = 1 ounce +3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa = 1 ounce + + + + +BREADS, BISCUITS AND ROLLS + + +Dr. Price's Baking Powder may be used instead of yeast to leaven +bread. It does precisely the same work; that is, raises the dough, +making it porous and spongy. The great advantage of bread made by this +method is in time saved, as it can be mixed and baked in less than two +hours. Milk bread needs little or no shortening, and less flour is +required than when water is used. Sift flour before measuring, and use +level measurements for all materials. + + +BAKING POWDER BREAD + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon sugar +7 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 medium-sized, cold, boiled potato +Milk (water may be used) + +Sift thoroughly together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder, rub in +potato; add sufficient liquid to mix rapidly and smoothly into soft +dough. This will require about one pint of liquid. Turn at once into +greased loaf pan, smooth top with knife dipped in melted butter, and +allow to stand in warm place about 30 minutes. Bake in moderate oven +about one hour. When done take from pan, moisten top slightly with +cold water and allow to cool before putting away. + + +BOSTON BROWN BREAD + +1 cup entire wheat or graham flour +1 cup corn meal +1 cup rye meal or ground rolled oats +1 teaspoon salt +5 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +3/4 cup molasses +1-1/3 cups milk + +Mix thoroughly dry ingredients; add molasses to milk, and add; beat +thoroughly and put into greased moulds 2/3 full. Steam 3-1/2 hours; +remove covers and bake until top is dry. + + +CORN BREAD + +1 cup corn meal +1 cup flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +3 tablespoons sugar +1 teaspoon salt +1-1/2 cups milk +1 egg +2 tablespoons shortening + +Mix and sift dry ingredients; add milk, beaten egg, and melted +shortening; beat well and pour into greased shallow pan. Bake in hot +oven about 25 minutes. + + +SPIDER CORN BREAD + +1 egg +1-3/4 cups milk +2 tablespoons sugar +1 cup corn meal +1/3 cup flour +1 teaspoon salt +2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 tablespoon shortening + +Beat egg and add one cup milk; stir in sugar, corn meal, flour, salt +and baking powder which have been sifted together; turn into frying +pan in which shortening has been melted; pour on remainder of milk, +but do not stir. Bake about 25 minutes in hot oven. There should be a +line of creamy custard through the bread. Cut into triangles and +serve. + + +GRAHAM BREAD + +1-1/2 cups flour +1-1/2 cups graham flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon shortening +1 egg +1-1/2 cups liquid (1/2 water and 1/2 milk) +2 tablespoons sugar or molasses + +Mix flour, graham flour, baking powder and salt together; rub in +shortening; beat egg and add with sugar or molasses to liquid; stir +into dry mixture and beat well; add more milk if necessary to make a +drop batter. Put into greased loaf pan, smooth with knife dipped in +cold water. Bake about one hour in moderate oven. + + +NUT OR RAISIN BREAD + +2-1/2 cups flour +1/2 cup graham flour +1/4 cup sugar +1 teaspoon salt +1 cup walnuts or raisins +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 egg +1-1/2 cups milk + +Sift dry ingredients together. Add raisins or nuts chopped not too +fine; add beaten egg to milk and add to dry ingredients to make a soft +dough. Put into greased loaf pan. Allow to stand about 30 minutes. +Bake in moderate oven from 45 to 60 minutes. + + +PEANUT BUTTER BREAD + +2 cups flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 teaspoon salt +1/2 cup sugar +1 cup milk +2/3 cup peanut butter or 1/2 cup finely ground peanuts + +Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add milk to peanut +butter or peanuts, blend well and add to dry ingredients; mix +thoroughly. Bake in greased loaf pan in slow oven 45 to 50 minutes. +This is best when a day old. It makes delicious sandwiches cut in thin +slices and filled with either cream cheese or lettuce and mayonnaise. + + +PRUNE OR DATE BREAD + +1 cup prunes or dates +2-1/2 a cups graham flour; or 1 cup flour and 1-1/2 cups graham flour +1/4 cup sugar +1 teaspoon salt +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 cup milk +1 tablespoon shortening + +Wash prunes, soak several hours, drain, stone and chop, or use dates +stoned and chopped.

Put +into greased bread pan; allow to stand about 30 minutes in warm place. +Bake in moderate oven one hour. + + +LUNCHEON OR SANDWICH ROLLS + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +6 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 tablespoon shortening +1-1/2 cups milk + +Sift together flour, salt and baking powder; rub in shortening; add +milk, and mix with spoon to smooth dough easy to handle on floured +board. Turn out dough; knead quickly a few times to impart smoothness; +divide into small pieces: form each by hand into short, rather thick +tapering rolls; place on greased pans and allow to stand in warm place +15 to 20 minutes; brush with milk. Bake in very hot oven. When almost +baked brush again with melted butter. Bake 10 minutes longer and serve +hot. If a glazed finish is desired, before taking from oven brush over +with yolk of egg which has been mixed, with a little cold water. + +These rolls make excellent sandwiches, using for fillings either +lettuce and mayonnaise, sliced or chopped ham, chopped seasoned +cucumbers, egg and mayonnaise with a very little chopped onion and +parsley, or other filling desired. + + +RYE ROLLS + +4 cups rye flour +1 teaspoon salt +6 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1-1/2 cups milk +1 tablespoon shortening + +Sift together dry ingredients; add milk and melted shortening.

This will require +about one and one-half cups. Divide into small pieces; knead each and +shape into small rolls; place on greased pan and brush with melted +shortening and allow to stand in warm place 15 to 20 minutes. Bake in +hot oven and when nearly done, brush again with melted shortening. + + +NUT AND RAISIN ROLLS + +2-1/2 cups flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1/2 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon sugar +5 tablespoons shortening +1 egg +2/3 cup milk +Butter +Raisins +Chopped nuts +1/2 cup sugar + +Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together.

Put +some pieces of fat in bottom of pan and season with salt and pepper. +Have oven very hot at first and when meat is half done reduce heat. +Baste every 10 to 15 minutes. If there is danger of fat in pan being +scorched add a little boiling water. Roast 10 to 15 minutes for each +pound of meat, in proportion as it is desired rare or well done. + + +BROILING + +The rules for roasting meat apply to broiling, except that instead of +cooking in the oven it is quickly browned, first on one side and then +on other, over hot coals or directly under a gas flame, turning every +minute until done. Meat an inch and one-half thick will broil in 8 to +15 minutes. Season after it is cooked. + + +PAN BROILING OR FRYING + +Put meat to be broiled or fried in very hot frying pan, with very +little or no fat. Turn every few minutes until cooked. Season and +serve immediately. Steaks and chops may be pan-broiled without any fat +in the pan. For thin gravy pour a little boiling water into pan after +meat is taken out. + + +BOILING AND STEWING + +Fresh meat should be put into boiling water and boiled over hot fire +for about 5 minutes; reduce heat and boil very gently about 20 minutes +for each pound. Salt and spices may be added for seasoning; vegetables +may be boiled in water with the meat. The broth of boiled meat should +always be saved to use in soups, stews and gravies. Salt meats should +be put over the fire in cold water, which as soon as it boils should +be replaced by fresh cold water, repeating until water is fresh enough +to give meat a palatable flavor. Salted and smoked meats require about +30 minutes very slow boiling, to each pound. Vegetables and herbs may +be boiled with them to flavor. When they are cooked the vessel +containing them should be set where they will keep hot without boiling +until required, if to be served hot; if to be served cold, they should +be allowed to cool in the liquor in which they were boiled. Very salty +meats, or those much dried in smoking should be soaked overnight in +cold water before boiling. + + +POT ROASTING + +A tough cut of meat may be first browned in fat, then cooked in small +amount of water either in oven or in iron kettle on top of stove.

The +principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of +non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular +box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape +of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators, +and vessels containing food to be cooked. + +The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor +occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for +evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to +shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and +time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be +prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further +attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time +required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the +actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced. + + +General Directions + +Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed +to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas +flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker +with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes +over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a +pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the +steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in +recipes. + +For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time +required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular +ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators +hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute. + + +CEREALS + +Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire +for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and +allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at +night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast. + + +STEAMING + +For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas +Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed. Put into +greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling water over very hot +radiator in cooker. Fasten cover tight and cook for 5 to 6 hours. + + +SOUPS + +For ingredients and preparation of soups see pages 29 and 30. + +Place ingredients in a vessel; cover with cold water; bring to boil +over free flame and boil 5 minutes. Fasten cover and transfer to +cooker, using one hot radiator in bottom of well. Cook 4 or 5 hours, +season and serve. + + +BOILED OR STEWED MEATS + +Prepare meat for cooking as usual, searing in frying pan if desired +brown. Place in large vessel and cover or partly cover with boiling +water, boiling with cover fastened tight for 10 or 15 minutes over +free flame. Transfer to cooker, using one hot radiator underneath. +Cook 2 or 3 hours, season and serve. + + +ROAST MEATS + +Prepare and season meat in usual way. Place in large dry vessel; put +very hot radiator in bottom of cooker well; place vessel containing +roast on radiator, and place another very hot radiator on top. Close +cooker and fasten. Allow it to remain about one-half hour per pound of +meat. + +The roast may be browned in a very hot oven before putting into cooker +or just before serving. + + +VEGETABLES + +Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in vessel with small quantity of +boiling water. As there is little evaporation in tireless cookers, +allowance does not have to be made for loss by evaporation. Boil over +free flame for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to cooker, using one radiator +in bottom of well.

State +Department of Agriculture.) + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS + +Test all jars for leakage before using. To do this, fill with water, +put on rubber and cover, seal and invert. + +Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc., by covering with cold +water, and boil for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in +boiling water just before using. + +Use wide-mouthed funnel when filling jars to avoid loss of material +and keep jar rim clean. + +Invert all jars after filling and sealing. + +Fruit should be sound, firm and not overripe and carefully prepared. + +Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean kitchen free +from flies, are essential for safety and success. + +Keep products in a cool place. Avoid freezing in winter. + + +CANNING + +Canning is the process of preparing sterilized food so that it will +keep indefinitely. + +The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in +flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary +for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough +sterilization--that is, killing the organisms which cause food to +spoil, and then sealing perfectly to prevent their entrance. Fruit may +be canned in water, in fruit juice and in syrup. + + +PRESERVING + +The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar +is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller +quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of +sugar and fruit may be followed. + + +OPEN-KETTLE METHOD + +This method is generally used for preserves, jams, and marmalades. +Food is completely cooked and then poured boiling hot into sterilized +jars. + +Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces +depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits +to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in +as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until +done. Fill sterilized jars, seal and invert. + + +CAN-COOKED METHOD + +By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar, +covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized. + +Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small +quantity of fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch cherries, +sour cherries excepted, berries or plums. + +Chill outside of blanched fruit by immersing a few minutes in a large +vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches. + +Pack fruit firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of +top. + +Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice or +syrup. + +Place new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal. + +Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required +time. See time-table. If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be +immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1 +inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep +water boiling during sterilizing period. + +Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid draft +on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible. + +Wash jars and label. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent +loss of color of red fruit. + +Vegetables may also be canned by this method. + + +A TIME-TABLE FOR CANNING FRUITS BY THE +CAN-COOKED METHOD + + TIME OF COOKING + If the + If the preserve + Time of hot-water cooker is used + Blanching bath is used (5 pounds) + Fruit Minutes Minutes Minutes +Apricots, peaches 1-2 16 10 +Blackberries 16 6 +Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes, Plums 16 10 +Fruit Juices 20 10 +Huckleberries, Raspberries 16 8 +Pears 1-2 20 10 +Pineapples 60 40 +Quinces 1-2 60 40 + + + + + + + +USE OF SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT + +Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and +is not necessary for preservation. + +Thin Syrup--1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits. + +Medium Syrup--1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium +sweet fruits. + +Thick Syrup--2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits. + +To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is +dissolved, boil 2 or 3 minutes. + + +CANNED PEACHES + +Have ready a syrup by boiling sugar and water together until sugar has +dissolved, using 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water. Allow 1 cup +syrup to each quart jar of peaches and add 1 peach pit to each quart +syrup. + +Scald sound, firm freestone peaches, a small number at a time, in +boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip quickly into cold +water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves and remove stones. + +Can-cooked method.--Pack peaches in overlapping layers with rounded +side upper-most facing glass. Fill each jar with hot syrup and adjust +rubber, cover, and upper clamp, thus partly sealing jar. Place jars on +rack in hot water that covers the tops to a depth of 1 inch. Bring +water to boiling point, and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart jars 20 +minutes. Remove jars, seal, and invert to cool. + +Open-kettle Method.--Cook peaches in syrup until tender; then with +sterilized spoon slip them carefully into sterilized jar; fill jar to +overflowing with syrup. Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately, and +invert to cool. + + +CANNED CHERRIES + +Wash and pit cherries. Can sweet cherries as berries. Blanch sour +cherries 1/2 minute, in boiling water. Dip in cold water; drain and +pack closely into hot sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water or +boiling medium syrup. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling +water bath. Remove jars at once, tighten covers, invert to test the +seal and cool. + + +CANNED PEARS + +Wash and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches. + + +CANNED BERRIES + +Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries, +gooseberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible +after picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up +and down in pan of cold water. + +Pack into hot sterilized glass jars, using care not to crush fruit. To +insure a close pack put a 2 or 3 inch layer of berries on the bottom +of the jar and press down gently with a spoon. Continue in this manner +with other layers until jar is filled. Boiling water or boiling thin +or medium syrup should be poured over the fruit at once. Loosely seal. +Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling water. Remove jars, tighten covers, +invert to test seal and cool. + + +ASPARAGUS + +Asparagus must be fresh and tender. Select tips of uniform size and +maturity, wash, cut into lengths according to containers to be used. +Scrape off scales and tough outer skins and tie in bundles to fit jar. + +Immerse lower ends in boiling water for 5 minutes, then entire stalks, +for 3 minutes longer. + +Cold dip, drain, pack neatly, tips up, in hot sterilized jars. Add +salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal, sterilize two hours +in boiling water bath. Remove as soon as time is up. Tighten covers, +invert to test seal and cool. + + +BEANS + +String Beans and Wax Beans.--Wash, string, leave whole or break in +uniform pieces. Blanch 5 to 10 minutes or until the pod will bend +without breaking. Cold dip, drain well and pack into hot jars. Add +salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal and sterilize two +hours in boiling water. Tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool. + + +CORN + +Select tender juicy sweet corn, at the best stage for table use and +can as soon as possible after gathering. Remove husks and silk; blanch +tender ears 5 minutes, older ears 10 minutes. Cold dip and cut from +cob. Pack into hot sterilized jars. As corn swells during +sterilization, leave space of 1 inch at top. Add salt and cover with +boiling water. Be sure water penetrates through the corn to the bottom +of jar. Loosely seal and sterilize 3 hours in boiling water. Remove, +tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool. + + + + +JAMS + + +Jams are usually made with small fruits or chopped large fruits.

Use it often--use it +always and enjoy the results. + +The low price at which Dr. Price's Phosphate Baking Powder is now sold +brings an economy to the home which, when combined with quality, is +too important to be overlooked. + + + + +"What Shall I Have For----?" + + +The perplexing home question with every woman is "What shall I have +for Breakfast, Luncheon, Dinner, or Supper?" + +The mission of the new Dr. Price Cook Book is to always give the right +answer to this question, but the book will not help if it is hidden +away in a table drawer and seldom used. Keep it where it can be seen +so you will remember to ask it questions before every meal. The result +will be a surprise in delightful variety, and also in the reduced cost +of supplying the table. + +When planning a meal, just run your finger down the index and get an +answer to the question, "What shall I have?" + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The New Dr. Price Cookbook, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 13669 *** diff --git a/13669-h/13669-h.htm b/13669-h/13669-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3549718 --- /dev/null +++ b/13669-h/13669-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,7563 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<html> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content= + "text/html; charset=UTF-8"> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The New Dr. Price Cook Book, by Royal Baking Powder Co.. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + P { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + } + HR { width: 33%; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + BODY{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + .tble {text-align: center;} /* centering tables */ + .tdcenter {text-align: center;} /* aligning cell content to the center */ + .tdleft {text-align: left;} /* aligning cell content to the left */ + .ctr {text-align: center} + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .note {margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;} /* footnote */ + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .note {margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;} /* footnote */ + .blkquot {margin-left: 4em; margin-right: 4em;} /* block indent */ + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 92%; font-size: smaller; text-align: right;} /* page numbers */ + .sidenote {width: 20%; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 1em; font-size: smaller; float: right; clear: right;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span {display: block; margin: 0; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> +<div>*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 13669 ***</div> + +<p class="ctr"><a href="./images/price-cover.jpg"><img +src="./images/price-cover_th.jpg" +alt="Cover of The New Dr. Price Cookbook"></a></p> + +<a name='Page_-3'></a><h1>THE NEW <br /> +DR.

The +principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of +non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular +box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape +of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators, +and vessels containing food to be cooked.</p> + +<p>The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor +occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for +evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to +shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and +time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be +prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further +attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time +required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the +actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced.</p> +<br /> + +<p>General Directions</p> + +<p>Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed +to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas +flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker +with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes +over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a +pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the +steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in +recipes.</p> + +<p>For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time +required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular +ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators +hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute.</p> +<br /> + +<p>CEREALS</p> + +<p>Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire +for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and +allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at +night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast.</p> +<br /> + +<p>STEAMING</p> + +<p>For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas +Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed. Put into +greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling water over very hot +radiator in cooker.

is understood that +butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or +vegetable oil may be used. + + +MEASUREMENTS + +All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this +book are level. + +The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into +fourths and thirds. + +To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess +with back of knife. + +One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon. + +Sift flour before measuring. + + +BAKING + +Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared +is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the +oven carefully before mixing the ingredients. + +When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. +A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another +indication that the cake is baked. + + +TABLE OF EQUIVALENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES + +1 saltspoon = 1/4 teaspoon +3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon +16 tablespoons = 1 cup +2 cups = 1 pint +2 pints = 1 quart +4 cups = 1 quart +2 cups granulated sugar = 1 pound +4 cups flour = 1 pound +2 cups butter = 1 pound +2 tablespoons butter = 1 ounce +2 tablespoons liquid = 1 ounce +4 tablespoons flour = 1 ounce +1 square unsweetened chocolate = 1 ounce +3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa = 1 ounce + + + + +BREADS, BISCUITS AND ROLLS + + +Dr. Price's Baking Powder may be used instead of yeast to leaven +bread. It does precisely the same work; that is, raises the dough, +making it porous and spongy. The great advantage of bread made by this +method is in time saved, as it can be mixed and baked in less than two +hours. Milk bread needs little or no shortening, and less flour is +required than when water is used. Sift flour before measuring, and use +level measurements for all materials. + + +BAKING POWDER BREAD + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon sugar +7 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 medium-sized, cold, boiled potato +Milk (water may be used) + +Sift thoroughly together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder, rub in +potato; add sufficient liquid to mix rapidly and smoothly into soft +dough. This will require about one pint of liquid. Turn at once into +greased loaf pan, smooth top with knife dipped in melted butter, and +allow to stand in warm place about 30 minutes. Bake in moderate oven +about one hour. When done take from pan, moisten top slightly with +cold water and allow to cool before putting away. + + +BOSTON BROWN BREAD + +1 cup entire wheat or graham flour +1 cup corn meal +1 cup rye meal or ground rolled oats +1 teaspoon salt +5 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +3/4 cup molasses +1-1/3 cups milk + +Mix thoroughly dry ingredients; add molasses to milk, and add; beat +thoroughly and put into greased moulds 2/3 full. Steam 3-1/2 hours; +remove covers and bake until top is dry. + + +CORN BREAD + +1 cup corn meal +1 cup flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +3 tablespoons sugar +1 teaspoon salt +1-1/2 cups milk +1 egg +2 tablespoons shortening + +Mix and sift dry ingredients; add milk, beaten egg, and melted +shortening; beat well and pour into greased shallow pan. Bake in hot +oven about 25 minutes. + + +SPIDER CORN BREAD + +1 egg +1-3/4 cups milk +2 tablespoons sugar +1 cup corn meal +1/3 cup flour +1 teaspoon salt +2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 tablespoon shortening + +Beat egg and add one cup milk; stir in sugar, corn meal, flour, salt +and baking powder which have been sifted together; turn into frying +pan in which shortening has been melted; pour on remainder of milk, +but do not stir. Bake about 25 minutes in hot oven. There should be a +line of creamy custard through the bread. Cut into triangles and +serve. + + +GRAHAM BREAD + +1-1/2 cups flour +1-1/2 cups graham flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon shortening +1 egg +1-1/2 cups liquid (1/2 water and 1/2 milk) +2 tablespoons sugar or molasses + +Mix flour, graham flour, baking powder and salt together; rub in +shortening; beat egg and add with sugar or molasses to liquid; stir +into dry mixture and beat well; add more milk if necessary to make a +drop batter. Put into greased loaf pan, smooth with knife dipped in +cold water. Bake about one hour in moderate oven. + + +NUT OR RAISIN BREAD + +2-1/2 cups flour +1/2 cup graham flour +1/4 cup sugar +1 teaspoon salt +1 cup walnuts or raisins +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 egg +1-1/2 cups milk + +Sift dry ingredients together. Add raisins or nuts chopped not too +fine; add beaten egg to milk and add to dry ingredients to make a soft +dough. Put into greased loaf pan. Allow to stand about 30 minutes. +Bake in moderate oven from 45 to 60 minutes. + + +PEANUT BUTTER BREAD + +2 cups flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 teaspoon salt +1/2 cup sugar +1 cup milk +2/3 cup peanut butter or 1/2 cup finely ground peanuts + +Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add milk to peanut +butter or peanuts, blend well and add to dry ingredients; mix +thoroughly. Bake in greased loaf pan in slow oven 45 to 50 minutes. +This is best when a day old. It makes delicious sandwiches cut in thin +slices and filled with either cream cheese or lettuce and mayonnaise. + + +PRUNE OR DATE BREAD + +1 cup prunes or dates +2-1/2 a cups graham flour; or 1 cup flour and 1-1/2 cups graham flour +1/4 cup sugar +1 teaspoon salt +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 cup milk +1 tablespoon shortening + +Wash prunes, soak several hours, drain, stone and chop, or use dates +stoned and chopped. Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder; add milk +to make soft dough and beat well; add fruit and melted shortening. Put +into greased bread pan; allow to stand about 30 minutes in warm place. +Bake in moderate oven one hour. + + +LUNCHEON OR SANDWICH ROLLS + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +6 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1 tablespoon shortening +1-1/2 cups milk + +Sift together flour, salt and baking powder; rub in shortening; add +milk, and mix with spoon to smooth dough easy to handle on floured +board. Turn out dough; knead quickly a few times to impart smoothness; +divide into small pieces: form each by hand into short, rather thick +tapering rolls; place on greased pans and allow to stand in warm place +15 to 20 minutes; brush with milk. Bake in very hot oven. When almost +baked brush again with melted butter. Bake 10 minutes longer and serve +hot. If a glazed finish is desired, before taking from oven brush over +with yolk of egg which has been mixed, with a little cold water. + +These rolls make excellent sandwiches, using for fillings either +lettuce and mayonnaise, sliced or chopped ham, chopped seasoned +cucumbers, egg and mayonnaise with a very little chopped onion and +parsley, or other filling desired. + + +RYE ROLLS + +4 cups rye flour +1 teaspoon salt +6 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1-1/2 cups milk +1 tablespoon shortening + +Sift together dry ingredients; add milk and melted shortening. Knead +on floured board; shape into rolls. Put into greased pans and allow to +stand in warm place 20 minutes. Bake in moderate oven 25 to 30 +minutes. + + +POTATO ROLLS + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon sugar +7 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +2 medium sized cold boiled potatoes +Water or milk or equal quantities of each + +Sift thoroughly together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder; rub in +potatoes or add after putting through ricer; add sufficient liquid to +mix smoothly into a stiff batter or soft dough. This will require +about one and one-half cups. Divide into small pieces; knead each and +shape into small rolls; place on greased pan and brush with melted +shortening and allow to stand in warm place 15 to 20 minutes. Bake in +hot oven and when nearly done, brush again with melted shortening. + + +NUT AND RAISIN ROLLS + +2-1/2 cups flour +4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +1/2 teaspoon salt +1 tablespoon sugar +5 tablespoons shortening +1 egg +2/3 cup milk +Butter +Raisins +Chopped nuts +1/2 cup sugar + +Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add melted +shortening and beaten egg to milk and add to dry ingredients, mixing +well. Turn out on floured board and knead lightly. Roll out very thin. +Spread with butter and sprinkle with raisins, chopped nuts and small +amount of granulated sugar. Cut into about 4-inch squares. Roll up +each as for jelly roll. Press edges together. Brush over with yolk of +egg mixed with a little cold water and sprinkle with nuts and sugar, +and allow to stand in greased pan about 15 minutes. Bake in moderate +oven from 20 to 25 minutes. + + +PARKER HOUSE ROLLS + +4 cups flour +1 teaspoon salt +6 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder +2 to 4 tablespoons shortening +1-1/2 cups milk + +Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Add melted shortening to +milk and add slowly to dry ingredients stirring until smooth. Knead +lightly on floured board and roll out one-half inch thick. Cut with +biscuit cutter. Crease each circle with back of knife one side of +center. Butter the small section and fold larger part well over the +small. Place one inch apart in greased pan.

The +principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of +non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular +box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape +of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators, +and vessels containing food to be cooked. + +The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor +occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for +evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to +shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and +time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be +prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further +attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time +required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the +actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced. + + +General Directions + +Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed +to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas +flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker +with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes +over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a +pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the +steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in +recipes. + +For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time +required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular +ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators +hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute. + + +CEREALS + +Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire +for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and +allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at +night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast. + + +STEAMING + +For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas +Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed. Put into +greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling water over very hot +radiator in cooker. Fasten cover tight and cook for 5 to 6 hours. + + +SOUPS + +For ingredients and preparation of soups see pages 29 and 30. + +Place ingredients in a vessel; cover with cold water; bring to boil +over free flame and boil 5 minutes. Fasten cover and transfer to +cooker, using one hot radiator in bottom of well. Cook 4 or 5 hours, +season and serve. + + +BOILED OR STEWED MEATS + +Prepare meat for cooking as usual, searing in frying pan if desired +brown. Place in large vessel and cover or partly cover with boiling +water, boiling with cover fastened tight for 10 or 15 minutes over +free flame. Transfer to cooker, using one hot radiator underneath. +Cook 2 or 3 hours, season and serve. + + +ROAST MEATS + +Prepare and season meat in usual way. Place in large dry vessel; put +very hot radiator in bottom of cooker well; place vessel containing +roast on radiator, and place another very hot radiator on top. Close +cooker and fasten. Allow it to remain about one-half hour per pound of +meat. + +The roast may be browned in a very hot oven before putting into cooker +or just before serving. + + +VEGETABLES + +Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in vessel with small quantity of +boiling water. As there is little evaporation in tireless cookers, +allowance does not have to be made for loss by evaporation.

State +Department of Agriculture.) + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS + +Test all jars for leakage before using. To do this, fill with water, +put on rubber and cover, seal and invert. + +Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc., by covering with cold +water, and boil for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in +boiling water just before using. + +Use wide-mouthed funnel when filling jars to avoid loss of material +and keep jar rim clean. + +Invert all jars after filling and sealing. + +Fruit should be sound, firm and not overripe and carefully prepared. + +Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean kitchen free +from flies, are essential for safety and success. + +Keep products in a cool place. Avoid freezing in winter. + + +CANNING + +Canning is the process of preparing sterilized food so that it will +keep indefinitely. + +The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in +flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary +for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough +sterilization--that is, killing the organisms which cause food to +spoil, and then sealing perfectly to prevent their entrance. Fruit may +be canned in water, in fruit juice and in syrup. + + +PRESERVING + +The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar +is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller +quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of +sugar and fruit may be followed. + + +OPEN-KETTLE METHOD + +This method is generally used for preserves, jams, and marmalades. +Food is completely cooked and then poured boiling hot into sterilized +jars. + +Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces +depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits +to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in +as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until +done. Fill sterilized jars, seal and invert. + + +CAN-COOKED METHOD + +By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar, +covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized. + +Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small +quantity of fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch cherries, +sour cherries excepted, berries or plums. + +Chill outside of blanched fruit by immersing a few minutes in a large +vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches. + +Pack fruit firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of +top. + +Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice or +syrup. + +Place new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal. + +Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required +time. See time-table. If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be +immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1 +inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep +water boiling during sterilizing period. + +Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid draft +on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible. + +Wash jars and label. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent +loss of color of red fruit. + +Vegetables may also be canned by this method. + + +A TIME-TABLE FOR CANNING FRUITS BY THE +CAN-COOKED METHOD + + TIME OF COOKING + If the + If the preserve + Time of hot-water cooker is used + Blanching bath is used (5 pounds) + Fruit Minutes Minutes Minutes +Apricots, peaches 1-2 16 10 +Blackberries 16 6 +Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes, Plums 16 10 +Fruit Juices 20 10 +Huckleberries, Raspberries 16 8 +Pears 1-2 20 10 +Pineapples 60 40 +Quinces 1-2 60 40 + + + + + + + +USE OF SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT + +Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and +is not necessary for preservation. + +Thin Syrup--1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits. + +Medium Syrup--1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium +sweet fruits. + +Thick Syrup--2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits. + +To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is +dissolved, boil 2 or 3 minutes. + + +CANNED PEACHES + +Have ready a syrup by boiling sugar and water together until sugar has +dissolved, using 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water. Allow 1 cup +syrup to each quart jar of peaches and add 1 peach pit to each quart +syrup. + +Scald sound, firm freestone peaches, a small number at a time, in +boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip quickly into cold +water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves and remove stones. + +Can-cooked method.--Pack peaches in overlapping layers with rounded +side upper-most facing glass. Fill each jar with hot syrup and adjust +rubber, cover, and upper clamp, thus partly sealing jar. Place jars on +rack in hot water that covers the tops to a depth of 1 inch. Bring +water to boiling point, and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart jars 20 +minutes. Remove jars, seal, and invert to cool. + +Open-kettle Method.--Cook peaches in syrup until tender; then with +sterilized spoon slip them carefully into sterilized jar; fill jar to +overflowing with syrup. Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately, and +invert to cool. + + +CANNED CHERRIES + +Wash and pit cherries. Can sweet cherries as berries. Blanch sour +cherries 1/2 minute, in boiling water. Dip in cold water; drain and +pack closely into hot sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water or +boiling medium syrup. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling +water bath. Remove jars at once, tighten covers, invert to test the +seal and cool. + + +CANNED PEARS + +Wash and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches. + + +CANNED BERRIES + +Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries, +gooseberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible +after picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up +and down in pan of cold water. + +Pack into hot sterilized glass jars, using care not to crush fruit. To +insure a close pack put a 2 or 3 inch layer of berries on the bottom +of the jar and press down gently with a spoon. Continue in this manner +with other layers until jar is filled.

PRICE'S PHOSPHATE BAKING POWDER + +is made in the same factory in which Dr. Price's Baking Powder +containing cream of tartar has been made for nearly seventy years, and +embodies all the skill, scientific knowledge and great care used +therein. + +It perfectly leavens the food and never leaves a bitter taste even if +you should happen to use more than the recipe calls for.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/13669-8.zip b/old/13669-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..613cbf1 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-8.zip diff --git a/old/13669-h.zip b/old/13669-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd98229 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h.zip diff --git a/old/13669-h/13669-h.htm b/old/13669-h/13669-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7377144 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h/13669-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,7973 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<html> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content= + "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The New Dr. Price Cook Book, by Royal Baking Powder Co.. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + P { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + } + HR { width: 33%; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + BODY{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + .tble {text-align: center;} /* centering tables */ + .tdcenter {text-align: center;} /* aligning cell content to the center */ + .tdleft {text-align: left;} /* aligning cell content to the left */ + .ctr {text-align: center} + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .note {margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;} /* footnote */ + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .note {margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;} /* footnote */ + .blkquot {margin-left: 4em; margin-right: 4em;} /* block indent */ + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 92%; font-size: smaller; text-align: right;} /* page numbers */ + .sidenote {width: 20%; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 1em; font-size: smaller; float: right; clear: right;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span {display: block; margin: 0; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The New Dr. Price Cookbook, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

The device ordinarily used is a rectangular +box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape +of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators, +and vessels containing food to be cooked.</p> + +<p>The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor +occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for +evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to +shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and +time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be +prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further +attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time +required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the +actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced.</p> +<br /> + +<p>General Directions</p> + +<p>Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed +to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas +flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker +with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes +over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a +pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the +steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in +recipes.</p> + +<p>For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time +required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular +ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators +hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute.</p> +<br /> + +<p>CEREALS</p> + +<p>Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire +for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and +allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at +night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast.</p> +<br /> + +<p>STEAMING</p> + +<p>For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas +Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed. Put into +greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling water over very hot +radiator in cooker. Fasten cover tight and cook for 5 to 6 hours.</p> +<br /> + +<p>SOUPS</p> + +<p>For ingredients and preparation of soups see pages 29 and 30.</p> + +<p>Place ingredients in a vessel; cover with cold water; bring to boil +over free flame and boil 5 minutes. Fasten cover and transfer to +cooker, using one hot radiator in bottom of well. Cook 4 or 5 hours, +season and serve.</p> +<br /> + +<p>BOILED OR STEWED MEATS</p> + +<p>Prepare meat for cooking as usual, searing in frying pan if desired +brown. Place in large vessel and cover or partly cover with boiling +water, boiling with cover fastened tight for 10 or 15 minutes over +free flame. Transfer to cooker, using one hot radiator underneath. +Cook 2 or 3 hours, season and serve. </p><a name='Page_46'></a> +<br /> + +<p>ROAST MEATS</p> + +<p>Prepare and season meat in usual way. Place in large dry vessel; put +very hot radiator in bottom of cooker well; place vessel containing +roast on radiator, and place another very hot radiator on top. Close +cooker and fasten. Allow it to remain about one-half hour per pound of +meat.</p> + +<p>The roast may be browned in a very hot oven before putting into cooker +or just before serving.</p> +<br /> + +<p>VEGETABLES</p> + +<p>Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in vessel with small quantity of +boiling water. As there is little evaporation in tireless cookers, +allowance does not have to be made for loss by evaporation. Boil over +free flame for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to cooker, using one radiator +in bottom of well. Cook 3 or 4 hours, remove from cooker, season and +serve.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='SUGGESTIONS_FOR_INVALIDS'></a><h2>SUGGESTIONS FOR INVALIDS</h2> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='BARLEY_WATER'></a><h3>BARLEY WATER</h3> + + +<ul><li>2 tablespoons pearl barley</li> +<li>2 quarts cold water</li> +</ul> + +<p>Wash barley, soak several hours in cold water and boil gently in same +water for 2 hours; or put into double boiler and cook 4 hours or until +reduced one-half.

Avoid freezing in winter.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='CANNING'></a><h2>CANNING</h2> + +<p>Canning is the process of preparing sterilized food so that it will +keep indefinitely.</p> + +<p>The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in +flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary +for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough +sterilization—that is, killing the organisms which cause food to +spoil, and then sealing perfectly to prevent their entrance. Fruit may +be canned in water, in fruit juice and in syrup.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='PRESERVING'></a><h3>PRESERVING</h3> + +<p>The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar +is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller +quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of +sugar and fruit may be followed.</p> +<br /> + +<p>OPEN-KETTLE METHOD</p> + +<p>This method is generally used for preserves, jams, and marmalades. +Food is completely cooked and then poured boiling hot into sterilized +jars.</p> + +<p>Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces +depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits +to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in +as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until +done. Fill sterilized jars, seal and invert.</p> +<br /> + +<p>CAN-COOKED METHOD</p> + +<p>By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar, +covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized.</p> + +<p>Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small +quantity of fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch cherries, +sour cherries excepted, berries or plums.</p> + +<p>Chill outside of blanched fruit by immersing a few minutes in a large +vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches.</p> + +<p>Pack fruit firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of +top.</p> + +<p>Fill jars to within ¼ inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice or +syrup.</p> + +<p>Place new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal.</p> + +<p>Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required +time. See time-table. If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be +immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1 +inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep +water boiling during sterilizing period.</p> + +<p>Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid draft +on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible.</p> + +<p>Wash jars and label. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent +loss of color of red fruit.</p> + +<p>Vegetables may also be canned by this method.</p> + + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='A_TIME-TABLE_FOR_CANNING_FRUITS_BY_THE_CAN-COOKED_METHOD'></a><h3>A TIME-TABLE FOR CANNING FRUITS BY THE<br /> +CAN-COOKED METHOD</h3> +<br /> + +<div class='tble'> + <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="70%" summary="Time of Cooking" style="align: left"> + <tr> + <td colspan="3" class="tdcenter" style="font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 100%; white-space: nowrap;" valign="top">Time of Cooking</td> + <tr> + <td width="55%" style="white-space: nowrap;"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" valign="bottom" style="white-space: nowrap;">Time of <br /> Blanching</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" valign="bottom" style="white-space: nowrap;">If the <br /> hot-water <br /> bath is used</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" valign="bottom" style="white-space: nowrap;">If the preserve <br /> cooker is used <br /> (5 pounds)</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdcenter" style="white-space: nowrap;">Fruit</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" style="white-space: nowrap;">Minutes</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" style="white-space: nowrap;">Minutes</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter" style="white-space: nowrap;">Minutes</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Apricots, Peaches</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">1-2</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">16</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">10</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Blackberries</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">16</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">6</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes, Plums</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">16</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">10</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Fruit Juices</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">20</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">10</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Huckleberries, Raspberries</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">16</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">8</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Pears</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">1-2</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">20</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">10</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Pineapples</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter"> </td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">60</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">40</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="55%" class="tdleft" style="white-space: nowrap;">Quinces</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">1-2</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">60</td> + <td width="15%" class="tdcenter">40</td> + </tr> + </table> +</div> +<a name='Page_48'></a> + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<a name='USE_OF_SUGAR_IN_CANNING_FRUIT'></a><h3>USE OF SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT</h3> + +<p>Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and +is not necessary for preservation.</p> + +<p>Thin Syrup—1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits.</p> + +<p>Medium Syrup—1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium +sweet fruits.</p> + +<p>Thick Syrup—2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits.</p> + +<p>To make syrup add sugar to boiling water.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/old/13669-h/images/price-back.jpg b/old/13669-h/images/price-back.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe359d2 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h/images/price-back.jpg diff --git a/old/13669-h/images/price-back_th.jpg b/old/13669-h/images/price-back_th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e6a0377 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h/images/price-back_th.jpg diff --git a/old/13669-h/images/price-cover.jpg b/old/13669-h/images/price-cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7368725 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h/images/price-cover.jpg diff --git a/old/13669-h/images/price-cover_th.jpg b/old/13669-h/images/price-cover_th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..92b92af --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669-h/images/price-cover_th.jpg diff --git a/old/13669.txt b/old/13669.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ae11dc3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6891 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The New Dr. Price Cookbook, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

is understood that +butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or +vegetable oil may be used. + + +MEASUREMENTS + +All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this +book are level. + +The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into +fourths and thirds. + +To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess +with back of

The +principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of +non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular +box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape +of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators, +and vessels containing food to be cooked. + +The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor +occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for +evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to +shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and +time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be +prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further +attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time +required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the +actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced. + + +General Directions + +Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed +to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas +flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker +with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes +over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a +pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the +steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in +recipes. + +For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time +required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular +ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators +hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute. + + +CEREALS + +Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire +for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and +allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at +night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast. + + +STEAMING + +For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas +Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed.

State +Department of Agriculture.) + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS + +Test all jars for leakage before using. To do this, fill with water, +put on rubber and cover, seal and invert. + +Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc., by covering with cold +water, and boil for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in +boiling water just before using. + +Use wide-mouthed funnel when filling jars to avoid loss of material +and keep jar rim clean. + +Invert all jars after filling and sealing. + +Fruit should be sound, firm and not overripe and carefully prepared. + +Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean kitchen free +from flies, are essential for safety and success. + +Keep products in a cool place. Avoid freezing in winter. + + +CANNING + +Canning is the process of preparing sterilized food so that it will +keep indefinitely. + +The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in +flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary +for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough +sterilization--that is, killing the organisms which cause food to +spoil, and then sealing perfectly to prevent their entrance. Fruit may +be canned in water, in fruit juice and in syrup. + + +PRESERVING + +The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar +is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller +quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of +sugar and fruit may be followed. + + +OPEN-KETTLE METHOD + +This method is generally used for preserves, jams, and marmalades. +Food is completely cooked and then poured boiling hot into sterilized +jars. + +Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces +depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits +to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in +as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until +done. Fill sterilized jars, seal and invert. + + +CAN-COOKED METHOD + +By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar, +covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized. + +Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small +quantity of fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch cherries, +sour cherries excepted, berries or plums. + +Chill outside of blanched fruit by immersing a few minutes in a large +vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches. + +Pack fruit firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of +top. + +Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice or +syrup. + +Place new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal. + +Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required +time. See time-table. If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be +immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1 +inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep +water boiling during sterilizing period. + +Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid draft +on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible. + +Wash jars and label. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent +loss of color of red fruit. + +Vegetables may also be canned by this method. + + +A TIME-TABLE FOR CANNING FRUITS BY THE +CAN-COOKED METHOD + + TIME OF COOKING + If the + If the preserve + Time of hot-water cooker is used + Blanching bath is used (5 pounds) + Fruit Minutes Minutes Minutes +Apricots, peaches 1-2 16 10 +Blackberries 16 6 +Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes, Plums 16 10 +Fruit Juices 20 10 +Huckleberries, Raspberries 16 8 +Pears 1-2 20 10 +Pineapples 60 40 +Quinces 1-2 60 40 + + + + + + + +USE OF SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT + +Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and +is not necessary for preservation. + +Thin Syrup--1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits. + +Medium Syrup--1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium +sweet fruits. + +Thick Syrup--2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits. + +To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is +dissolved, boil 2 or 3 minutes. + + +CANNED PEACHES + +Have ready a syrup by boiling sugar and water together until sugar has +dissolved, using 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water. Allow 1 cup +syrup to each quart jar of peaches and add 1 peach pit to each quart +syrup. + +Scald sound, firm freestone peaches, a small number at a time, in +boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip quickly into cold +water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves and remove stones. + +Can-cooked method.--Pack peaches in overlapping layers with rounded +side upper-most facing glass. Fill each jar with hot syrup and adjust +rubber, cover, and upper clamp, thus partly sealing jar. Place jars on +rack in hot water that covers the tops to a depth of 1 inch. Bring +water to boiling point, and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart jars 20 +minutes. Remove jars, seal, and invert to cool. + +Open-kettle Method.--Cook peaches in syrup until tender; then with +sterilized spoon slip them carefully into sterilized jar; fill jar to +overflowing with syrup. Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately, and +invert to cool. + + +CANNED CHERRIES + +Wash and pit cherries. Can sweet cherries as berries. Blanch sour +cherries 1/2 minute, in boiling water. Dip in cold water; drain and +pack closely into hot sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water or +boiling medium syrup. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling +water bath. Remove jars at once, tighten covers, invert to test the +seal and cool. + + +CANNED PEARS + +Wash and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches. + + +CANNED BERRIES + +Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries, +gooseberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible +after picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up +and down in pan of cold water. + +Pack into hot sterilized glass jars, using care not to crush fruit. To +insure a close pack put a 2 or 3 inch layer of berries on the bottom +of the jar and press down gently with a spoon. Continue in this manner +with other layers until jar is filled. Boiling water or boiling thin +or medium syrup should be poured over the fruit at once. Loosely seal. +Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling water. Remove jars, tighten covers, +invert to test seal and cool. + + +ASPARAGUS + +Asparagus must be fresh and tender. Select tips of uniform size and +maturity, wash, cut into lengths according to containers to be used. +Scrape off scales and tough outer skins and tie in bundles to fit jar. + +Immerse lower ends in boiling water for 5 minutes, then entire stalks, +for 3 minutes longer. + +Cold dip, drain, pack neatly, tips up, in hot sterilized jars. Add +salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal, sterilize two hours +in boiling water bath. Remove as soon as time is up. Tighten covers, +invert to test seal and cool. + + +BEANS + +String Beans and Wax Beans.--Wash, string, leave whole or break in +uniform pieces. Blanch 5 to 10 minutes or until the pod will bend +without breaking. Cold dip, drain well and pack into hot jars. Add +salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal and sterilize two +hours in boiling water. Tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool. + + +CORN + +Select tender juicy sweet corn, at the best stage for table use and +can as soon as possible after gathering. Remove husks and silk; blanch +tender ears 5 minutes, older ears 10 minutes. Cold dip and cut from +cob. Pack into hot sterilized jars. As corn swells during +sterilization, leave space of 1 inch at top. Add salt and cover with +boiling water. Be sure water penetrates through the corn to the bottom +of jar. Loosely seal and sterilize 3 hours in boiling water. Remove, +tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool. + + + + +JAMS + + +Jams are usually made with small fruits or chopped large fruits. Cook +slowly with equal weight of sugar until thick; put into sterilized +tumblers or small jars and seal. + + +RASPBERRY JAM + +Pick over berries. Mash a few in bottom of preserving kettle; continue +until fruit is used. Heat slowly to boiling point and add equal +quantity of heated sugar. Cook slowly 45 minutes. Put into sterilized +jars or tumblers. Other berry jams can be made in same way. + + +PLUM CONSERVE + +4 pounds plums +1 cup seeded raisins +2 oranges +sugar +juice 1 lemon +1/2 pound walnuts + +Wash plums; remove stones; add raisins and oranges which have been +sliced very fine. Measure and add 3/4 cup sugar to each cup fruit and +juice. Put into kettle, cook slowly about 45 minutes or until thick, +stirring to keep from burning. Add lemon juice and chopped nuts. Pour +into sterilized jars. + + + + +JELLIES + + +Heat and mash fruit until juice runs readily. If fruit is not entirely +broken rub through coarse sieve. Pour into sterilized jelly bags of +unbleached muslin or doubled cheesecloth and drain but do not squeeze. +Take 7/8 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Boil juice 8 to 20 minutes +(berries and currants require less time); add sugar which has been +heated in oven; stir until sugar is dissolved and boil about 5 +minutes. Pour into hot sterilized tumblers. Hard fruits like apples +and quinces should be cut up, covered with cold water and cooked until +tender before turning into jelly bags. + + + + +PICKLES + + +PICKLED PEACHES + +2 pounds brown sugar +2 cups vinegar +1 ounce stick cinnamon +1/2 ounce whole cloves +4 quarts peaches + +Boil sugar, vinegar and spices for 20 minutes.

Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/13669.zip b/old/13669.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1887c1b --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13669.zip |
