APPLETON AND COMPANY + + PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA + + + + + TO + + MY LITTLE DAUGHTER, + + JANET J. O. STOCKBRIDGE, + + THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED, + + WITH MY DEEPEST LOVE + + + + + OMAR UP TO DATE + + A box of chocolates underneath a bough, + An ice cream cone, some lemonade, and thou + Beside me singing in the wilderness + Make prohibition Paradise enow. + + ANONYMOUS + + + + + FOREWORD + + +TO THE HOSTESS OF TO-DAY: + +The hostess of to-day will be called upon to serve drinks in her home +more than formerly, I imagine, and it were well to go back to the +habits and customs of our grandmothers and be prepared to serve a +refreshing drink in an attractive manner at a moment’s notice. + +To do this, one needs have a stock of syrups, either home-made or +commercial, as well as a supply of shrubs and vinegars on hand. + +To-day’s hostess does not hold up her hands in horror crying that she +knows nothing of preparing these things, for she has learned a great +deal about canning and preserving in the last few years, so making +syrups, vinegars and shrubs will seem like child’s play. If, however, +she is inclined to think it an arduous task, let her turn to these +recipes, and she will be convinced that the labor and the time expended +bring their own reward in the satisfaction gained by knowing that one +has served a delicious drink delightfully made. + +There may be the feeling, if my hostess lives in an apartment, that +there is not room enough to store these syrups and vinegars, and while +that may be true in part, it is always possible to keep two or three +popular syrups in quart bottles, and at least one bottle of fruit +vinegar, in the refrigerator. + +As both syrups and vinegars may be made in small quantities, one may +make them oftener and make enough to last a week or two. + +There are one or two things I would impress upon the hostess who would +be popular, and if I refer to these things again in the book, I trust +I may be pardoned, for they are most imperative. + +First: the necessity for selecting attractive glassware, which need not +be expensive, but should be thin and clear, and, when in use, should +always be polished. + +When purchasing linen, select it because of its daintiness rather than +for its elaborateness. Plate doylies and serviettes which are plain +and fine may be purchased for a very little money if care is taken. +Who would not rather use a doylie with a button-holed edge, spotlessly +clean, than one heavily embroidered which will require three times the +labor to launder? + +If drinks are served by the maid, it is as essential that her cuffs, +collar, cap and apron be as spotless as the doylies on the service +plates. + +When cold drinks are served, be sure that the glasses are chilled. + +For hot drinks, heat the cups or glasses before pouring the drinks. + +Place the glass or cup on a doylie on a small plate. + +When serving an invalid, be over-particular; the glass must shine, the +doylie be spotless, and the plate the most attractive obtainable. If it +is possible lay a flower on the plate or tray before it is sent into +the ill one’s room. + +The appetite of a very finicky person may be tempted by this +over-carefulness. + + BERTHA E. L.

I use the measures I have in my kitchen, and +have used them in making these recipes. Surely one has a quart cup, a +half pint, or one cup, measure and a set of spoons; the tablespoon, +dessertspoon, teaspoon and half teaspoon. Some sets have the +quarter-teaspoon too. These sets, made of aluminum, may be purchased +in any hardware store, or in the housekeeping department in the large +shops at very reasonable prices. The glass cup is marked for quarter, +half and three-quarters on one side, while on the reverse the marking +is for one-third and two-thirds. The quart cup is marked for quarter, +half and three-quarters; each quarter being equal to one cupful. + +[Illustration: GLASS MEASURING CUPS] + +[Illustration: QUART MEASURE] + +The housekeeper who becomes accustomed to using _exact_ measurements +will never return to the hit-or-miss plan, because she will be sure +that every time she mixes a drink or makes a syrup or a cream that it +will be just as she wishes it to be. + +[Illustration: HOUSEHOLD SCALES] + + + + + WHAT TO DRINK + + + I—FRUITADES, ICED, FRAPPÉ AND HOT + + +There are a number of things worth considering when serving drinks +at home; first among these is the use of attractive glassware. Good +looking glasses cost no more than ugly ones, and clear fine glass +polishes better than heavy blurred glass. And surely any drink is more +pleasing to the palate if the eye is pleased. Be sure that the glasses +shine, and also ascertain that glasses meant to hold cold drinks are +chilled. Almost all fruitades, no matter what the name or foundation, +contain lemon juice, so it is also well to remember that lemons +intended for squeezing should be peeled, and that very carefully. While +the lemon peel, or the zest, rather, is an excellent flavor, it is +not satisfactory in lemonade, as there is a little bitterness when it +stands, which displeases some people. + +Most of the recipes given for these fruitades are for individual +drinks, to make it easier for the hostess to ascertain how much to +prepare if she knows the number of people to be served. + +A cocktail shaker, an ice shaver and a long handled spoon are almost +a necessity in making drinks. They are at least a great aid, and as +none of these things is expensive and all may be obtained in the +housekeeping department of any city shop, or in the hardware store in +small towns, there seems no reason for not owning them. + +Fruitades are delicious, refreshing and healthful, and surely not +difficult to make, so that the gracious hostess will serve these +cooling drinks often. + +If syrups are made and bottled one need not worry about serving a +delectable drink in a surprisingly short time. + + +BASEBALL LEMONADE + +For an individual drink, use: + + 1 egg, + 1 lemon, + 1 spoonful of sugar, + ¾ cupful of milk, + ½ cupful of water. + +Put the egg in the bottom of the tall glass; add the juice of a lemon, +a spoonful of sugar, a little ice, shaved fine, and the milk and water. +Put into a shaker, shake well and serve. + + +EGG LEMONADE + + ½ cupful of finely shaved ice, + 1 egg, + 3 teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, + ¾ cupful of water, + Juice of one lemon, + Carbonated water. + +Use either a large glass and a shaker-top, or a cocktail shaker. Place +all the ingredients in the shaker except the carbonated water, shake +well, pour into an attractive glass, add the carbonated water, and +serve. + + +FRUIT LEMONADE + + 1 lemon, + 1 slice of orange, + 1 cherry, + 1 slice of pineapple, + 1 Malaga grape, + 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + Shaved ice, + Water. + +Put the juice of the lemon, sugar, shaved or cracked ice, and water +enough to make a glass full in a shaker, shake well, pour into a tall +glass, and add the fruit and serve at once. + + +GRAPE JUICE LEMONADE + + 3 lemons, + 1 pint of grape juice, + 1½ pints of water, + 1 cupful of sugar. + +Place a small square of ice in a tall glass pitcher; mix the lemon +juice, sugar, water and grape juice together, pour into the pitcher; +allow to become thoroughly chilled and serve. + + +GINGER ALE LEMONADE + + 3 lemons, + 1 pint of ginger ale, + 1½ pints of water, + 1 cupful of sugar. + +Place a goodly sized piece of ice in a glass pitcher and pour over +it the juice of the lemons, sugar and water, which should have been +thoroughly mixed. Stir and when the sugar is dissolved, add the ginger +ale. This should be served without delay, while the “fizz” is still in +the ginger ale. + +It is not at all necessary to use imported ginger ales, as there are +domestic makes which are equally as good. + + +GRAPEFRUIT AND ORANGEADE + + 1 grapefruit, + 2 oranges, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 pint of ginger ale, + 1 pint of water, + 1 pint of crushed ice, + 1 full spray of mint. + +Cut the grapefruit in half and extract the juice by using a large glass +orange juice extractor. Extract the orange juice, add sugar and allow +to stand for an hour if possible, stirring occasionally. When ready to +serve, add crushed ice, water and ginger ale, stir and add the spray of +mint well crushed. Serve while it still has a sparkle. + + +MINT GINGER ALE + + 1 pint of ginger ale, + 1 lemon, + 2 sprays of mint. + +For this refreshing drink, crush the mint and put into a tall glass +pitcher, add the crushed ice, the juice of half a lemon and the thinly +sliced second half. Add the ginger ale, stir with a long handled spoon +and serve at once. + + +ORANGE GRAPEADE + + 1 orange, + ½ pint of chipped or shaved ice, + ½ pint of grape juice, + Sugar. + +Extract the juice from the orange and add to the grape juice, stir and +add the shaved ice. If not sweet enough add sugar to taste. + + +LIMEADE + + 2 fresh limes, + 1½ teaspoonfuls of sugar, + Spring or carbonated water, + Mint, + Ice. + +Extract the juice from the limes, put into a tall straight-sided glass +and add sugar or plain syrup. If sugar is used, stir until the sugar is +dissolved. Add water to fill the glass and stir, or carbonated water, +and put a spray of mint into each service. Serve with a straw. + + +LIMEADE WITH LIME SYRUP + + ½ lemon, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lime syrup, + 2 tablespoonfuls of plain syrup, + Carbonated water or spring water, + Ice. + +Extract the juice from the half lemon, put into a tall glass, add lime +syrup and plain syrup and stir, then add the carbonated water, or +spring water, if desired. Mint or a cherry may be added as liked. + + +TEA-RHUBARBADE + + 6 stalks of young rhubarb, + 1 lemon, + 2 oranges, + 1 quart of water, + 1 pint of tea, + Sugar. + +Wash the rhubarb and cut into inch lengths, add a quart of water and +stew until tender; drain, and set the juice away to cool. (The pulp +may be used for tarts or marmalade.) Add a pint of tea to the strained +rhubarb; extract the lemon juice and add this and the oranges thinly +sliced. Sweeten to taste and pour over shaved ice in tall thin glasses. + + +CRÉOLE “FROG” LEMONADE + + 2 dozen lemons, + 1 pound of sugar, + 2 quarts of water, + 2 quarts of Seltzer, + 1 pineapple, + 3 dozen strawberries. + +Use a large punch bowl; put the sugar, lemon juice and water in it, and +stir well until the sugar is dissolved; add the juice of one pineapple +and the Seltzer water. Mix well again and add the strawberries, slices +of pineapple and very thin slices of lemon. Place a large piece of ice +in the center of the bowl, and allow to stand until very cold before +serving. + + +CANTON LEMONADE + + ½ cupful of lemon juice, + 1¼ cupfuls of sugar, + 1 pint of water, + ½ teaspoonful of ground ginger. + +Mix the sugar, ginger and water and boil until slightly syrup-like, +then add the lemon juice. Cool and dilute as desired, or bottle hot for +use when needed. Use two tablespoonfuls to a small glass of iced water +when ready to serve. + + +ORANGE-LEMONADE + + 1 lemon, + 1 quart of water, + 3 oranges, + 1 cupful of white grape juice, + Sugar. + +Wash the oranges, and rub a cube of sugar over the skin of one orange; +cut the oranges and extract the juice, adding just enough sugar to +make slightly sweet. To this add the juice of one lemon, stir, add the +water, then the grape juice and serve at once. + + +PLAIN LEMONADE + + ½ cupful of lemon juice, + 1¼ cupfuls of sugar, + 1 pint of water. + +Boil the water and sugar together until syrup-like; take from the fire +and add the lemon juice. Cool and dilute as desired, the strength +depending upon the taste of those to be served. To dilute one may use +cracked ice, iced water, or Apollinaris, or a mixture of water and +Apollinaris. + + +APOLLINARIS LEMONADE + + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + ¾ teaspoonful of sugar, + Apollinaris, + Cracked ice. + +Put the lemon juice, sugar, cracked ice and Apollinaris in a shaker, +shake for a minute, pour into a tall, thin glass and serve at once. + + +WHITE GRAPE JUICE LEMONADE + + 1 pint of water, + 1 lemon, + 1 cupful of white grape juice, + Sugar, + Shaved ice. + +Usually the white grape juice is sweet enough to serve with the lemon +juice without using sugar, depending always upon the person to be +served. Cut a lemon in two, extract the juice from half, and slice the +other half very thin. Mix the lemon juice with the sugar, if any is +to be used, first trying a teaspoonful, add the water, stir until the +sugar is dissolved, add the grape juice and then the thinly sliced half +lemon, stir and serve. + + +ORGEAT LEMONADE + + 1 tablespoonful of powdered sugar, + 1 tablespoonful of orgeat syrup (see syrups) + ½ lemon, + Ice, + Berries. + +Fill the shaker about one-third full of shaved ice, pour over it the +syrup and the lemon juice; fill to three-quarters full with water; +shake, add any berries in season; pour into a thin tall glass and serve +at once. + + +RASPBERRY LEMONADE + + 1 quart of water, + 1 lemon, + 1 pint of raspberries, + ½ cupful of sugar, + Ice. + +Select a half cupful of nice firm berries, and put aside, then crush +the remaining berries, and press through a fine cloth. Extract the +juice from the lemon, add to the berry juice, add shaved ice, sugar and +water and shake well. Pour into a glass pitcher and add the selected +whole berries and serve. + + +ITALIAN LEMONADE + + ½ lemon, + ½ orange, + 1 teaspoonful of powdered sugar, + 1 cupful of ice, + 1 tablespoonful of white grape juice, + Fruits in season, + 1 spoonful of ice cream. + +Put the juice of half a lemon and half an orange into a shaker with +the sugar and cracked ice and shake until the ice is well melted. Pour +into a tall thin glass, fill with iced water, stir, add small fruits in +season, and top with a teaspoonful of ice cream. + + +SODA LEMONADE + + ½ lemon, + 1 teaspoonful of sugar, + ½ cupful of cracked ice, + Plain soda. + +Put the juice of half a lemon and the sugar into a tall glass with the +ice, stir with a long handled spoon, using the left hand; pour in the +soda with the right. Serve at once. + + +STRAWBERRY LEMONADE + + ½ lemon, + 1 teaspoonful of sugar, + 1 dozen large strawberries, + ½ cupful of shaved ice, + Milk. + +Fill a shaker about a third full of ice; (about a half cupful) add +the juice of a half lemon, the juice from a dozen strawberries, and +the sugar. Shake well, add enough milk to nearly fill the shaker, and +strain into a tall glass. + + + FRUITADES AND SODAS FROM JUICES OF CANNED FRUITS + +So often when a can of strawberries is opened, we find there is an +abundance of juice, more in fact than we care to use with the berries +on the table, and if the desired amount, _only_, is left with the +fruit for table consumption, and the rest reserved, many combinations +which are tasty and desirable may be made without the extra expense of +purchasing fruits or prepared syrups. + +Strawberries are not the only berries from which the juice may be +taken, for blackberries and raspberries, both red and black, are +equally desirable. Besides these berries, there is no good reason why +the juice from plums, pineapples, cherries and peaches may not be used +to as good advantage. + + +STRAWBERRY SODA + + Carbonated water, + Cream, + Strawberry juice or syrup. + +We are more likely to have iced tea glasses in our homes than the +regulation soda glasses, and for that reason I advise using them in +preparing a home-made soda. + +Pour enough strawberry juice into a glass to fill it one-third full, +add three tablespoonfuls of thick cream, and fill with carbonated water. + + +BLACKBERRYADE + + ¼ glass of blackberry juice, + 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice, + 1 teaspoonful of powdered sugar, + Cracked ice, + Water. + +Put the one-fourth glassful (iced tea glass) of blackberry juice, the +lemon juice, sugar and cracked ice into a cocktail shaker and shake +well for a minute or two. Pour into the glass and add enough water to +fill the glass seven-eighths full; stir well and serve at once. + + +RASPBERRYADE + + ¼ glass of raspberry juice, + ½ teaspoonful of lemon juice, + 1 teaspoonful of powdered sugar, + Cracked ice, + Water. + +Pour the raspberry juice, lemon juice, sugar and cracked ice into a +shaker—using an iced tea glass as a measuring medium—and shake well; +pour into the iced tea glass and fill with water. Stir and serve. + + +LEMON FROTH + + 1 egg white, + Lemon syrup (see lemonade), + ¾ cupful of water, + 1 candied cherry. + +To three-quarters of a cup of water add one-third cupful of finely +cracked ice and lemon syrup enough to please the taste of the person to +be served: shake well for two minutes, strain into a tall thin glass—an +iced tea glass is a desirable type—and stir in the stiffly beaten white +of an egg. Top with a thin slice of lemon and a candied cherry. + + +STRAWBERRY-LEMON FROTH + + 1 egg white, + ½ lemon, + ¾ cupful of water, + Cracked ice, + 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + ½ dozen strawberries. + +Reserve the largest berry and crush the others; press through a fine +sieve. Extract the juice from half a lemon, add to the strawberry juice +and stir in the sugar. Continue to stir until the sugar is dissolved. +Pour this into a cocktail shaker, adding the finely cracked ice and +water. Shake hard for two minutes, strain into a tall glass, stir in +the stiffly beaten white of an egg and top with the selected strawberry. + + +HOT LEMONADE + + ½ lemon, + 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + 1¼ cupfuls of boiling water. + +Extract the juice from the half lemon, add the sugar and then the hot +water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and serve. + + +HOT SPICED LEMONADE + + ½ lemon, + 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + 1¼ cupfuls of boiling water, + ⅛ teaspoonful of ground ginger. + +Extract the juice from the half lemon, add the sugar and ginger; strain +and add the boiling water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and serve. + + + FRAPPÉS + +Any one of the fruitades may be made into a frappé with so little +trouble that in hot weather there is no reason why the hostess should +not serve these cooling, delectable drinks at a moment’s notice. There +are always syrups which may be kept in the refrigerator and mixed with +lemon syrup, a little water or carbonated water added, poured over the +shaved ice in a sherbet glass, and presto! the frappé is ready to serve. + +It is also possible to freeze the frappé, and it is advisable if one +is to serve a goodly number. Remember always that a frappé is only +partially frozen. As the liquid begins to thicken, scrape it from the +sides of the freezer, using a long knife, preferably a spatula. It +would seem impossible to keep house without a spatula, because of the +many uses to which it may be put. + + +LEMON-RASPBERRY FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon syrup (see lemonade), + 1 tablespoonful of raspberry juice. + +This is only enough for one service. Fill a sherbet glass +three-quarters full of finely shaved ice and pour over it the lemon +syrup and raspberry juice. Serve at once. This may be served at the +beginning of a meal in hot weather, or served at any time when any +cooling drink is wanted. + + +BLACKBERRY FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + 2 tablespoonfuls of blackberry juice, + Sugar. + +Fill the sherbet glasses three-quarters full of shaved ice, and pour +the blackberry juice over after having been mixed with sugar enough +to take away the decided acid taste. It is not wise to make any drink +which is meant to be cooling, too sweet. + + +WHITE GRAPE JUICE FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + ¼ teaspoonful of lemon syrup, + 2 tablespoonfuls of white grape juice. + +Fill the glass,—a sherbet or tall champagne glass—with finely shaved +ice, and pour over it the grape juice and lemon syrup (see lemonade). +Serve at once. + + +TEA FRAPPÉ + + 2 teaspoonfuls of tea, + 1½ pints of boiling water, + 4 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. + +Use a large teapot, rinsing it out with boiling water, then place the +tea in the pot and pour a pint and a half of boiling water over. Allow +to stand for five minutes, and strain off. Cool, add the sugar and the +lemon juice and freeze to a mush. Serve in sherbet glasses with a mint +leaf, if mint is in season. + + +PINEAPPLE FRAPPÉ + + 1 pineapple, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 lemon, + 1 quart of water. + +Peel the pineapple, remove the “eyes,” and holding the pines in the +left hand slash both ways,—up and down, as well as across,—then cut +away from the stalk-like center. One may crush more thoroughly by +putting through a food chopper, or by using a large wooden spoon. +Extract as much juice as possible, and add to the sugar and lemon +juice. Stir, add the water, which should be boiling. Allow to cool, +freeze until a mush, and serve. Remember always that a frappé is +_right_ when it is just at the pouring stage, and not frozen a bit +harder. + + +STRAWBERRY FRAPPÉ + + 1 quart of strawberries, + 1 lemon, + 1 quart of water, + 1½ cupfuls of sugar. + +Crush the strawberries, press through a fine sieve, add the sugar and +lemon juice; add the water, which should be boiling. Set aside to cool; +pour into the freezer and freeze, until a soft pourable mush. Serve in +tall champagne glasses and top with a selected strawberry. + + +COFFEE FRAPPÉ + + Whipped cream, + 2 level tablespoonfuls of powdered coffee, + 1 cupful of boiling water, + 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + Shaved ice. + +Powder the coffee, put in the bag of a drip pot and pour the cupful of +boiling water over it. Allow this to drip, add the sugar and stir until +dissolved. Put into the refrigerator and when ready to serve, pour two +tablespoonfuls over the shaved ice in the sherbet glass. The glass +should be about three-quarters full, which allows space for the coffee. +Top with a generous spoonful of whipped cream. + + + EASILY MADE FRAPPÉS + +It may not be known to all housekeepers that fruit syrups may be +purchased at very reasonable prices from the better grocers, but it is +true, and with these syrups and shaved ice a frappé may be made in a +minute. + + +RASPBERRY FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + Raspberry syrup. + +Fill the sherbet glasses about three-quarters full with finely shaved +ice, and pour over it two tablespoonfuls of raspberry syrup. Serve at +once. + + +STRAWBERRY FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + Strawberry syrup. + +If one owns a supply of attractive glasses, one can always make drinks +_look_ differently at least, and one’s appetite is always grateful for +a change, even a change in the type of glasses used. + +I would suggest if one has tall thin glasses of the type of parfait +glasses, using them for a change. + +Fill until about a quarter way from the top with shaved ice, and pour +over four tablespoonfuls of strawberry syrup. Serve immediately. + + +GRENADINE FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + Grenadine, + ½ teaspoonful of lemon juice. + +Use a long stemmed, tall glass, filling it three-quarters full with +shaved ice. Over this pour four tablespoonfuls of grenadine in which +the lemon juice has been mixed. + + +MOCK CHAMPAGNE FRAPPÉ + + 1 quart of sweet cider, + 1 pint of carbonated water. + +Pour into a freezer and freeze until about half frozen, or until a +mush. Serve in champagne glasses. + + + ECONOMICAL FRAPPÉS + +There are many times when a small amount of juice from either canned or +preserved fruits is left from the table serving, although all the fruit +may have been used, and there is no reason why this juice should not be +used to good advantage in frappés. One should remember always that the +syrup from preserved fruits is much heavier, and in consequence would +be somewhat too sweet to use as it came from the fruit unless a little +acid were added to it. So, when using the syrup of preserves add lemon +juice and the frappé will be much more acceptable and refreshing. + + +PEACH FRAPPÉ + + Shaved ice, + 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice, + 2 tablespoonfuls of syrup from preserved peaches. + +Use a sherbet glass and fill three-quarters full with shaved ice; pour +over this the syrup from the peaches which should have been mixed with +the lemon juice. Serve as soon as prepared. + + +CHERRY FRAPPÉ + +If the cherries have been canned with a thin syrup it may be used just +as it is taken from the fruit. It will need neither sugar nor lemon +juice. + + Shaved ice, + 3 tablespoonfuls of cherry juice. + +Fill the sherbet glass three-quarters full of ice and pour over the +juice or light syrup from the canned cherries. Serve immediately. + + + + + II—FRUIT PUNCHES, FRUIT CUPS AND FRUIT BOWLS + + +The art of mixing a satisfying punch is not at all as mystifying as it +is often thought to be. To mix enough for a number of guests one should +own a punch bowl, and while one may spend almost any amount of money +on such a thing, there are very inexpensive pressed glass bowls to be +purchased. It is always advisable to select the very plainest style one +can find. One of the better pressed glass bowls is in the desirable +colonial pattern and will be found to be most satisfactory. + + +APPLEBLOOM PUNCH + + 1 pint of sweet cider, + 1 pint of Apollinaris, + 1 pint of white grape juice, + Ice. + +Place a square of ice in the punch bowl and pour the sweet cider and +white grape juice over it, allow this to become very cold, and last +pour the Apollinaris over. Serve in low punch glasses. + + +BRISTOL PUNCH + + 1 quart of boiling water, + 2 tablespoonfuls of tea, + 6 sprays of fresh mint, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 2 lemons, + 1 quart of sparkling apple juice (commercial). + +Crush the mint, add the tea and pour the boiling water over, allowing +it to stand for five minutes. Strain and cool, add the sugar and the +lemons, which should have been washed and sliced very thin. Add two +cupfuls of cracked ice to this and allow it to chill. When ready to +serve place a square of ice in the punch bowl and strain the liquid +over; add a cupful of red raspberries and a quart of commercial cider +of the sparkling type. This is readily obtainable at a first class +grocer’s. + +Serve in tall glasses. + + +DÉBUTANTE PUNCH + + 3 lemons, + 2 oranges, + 6 sprays of mint, + 1 quart of grape juice, + 1 pint of carbonated water, + ½ pint of tea (green), + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 pint of water. + +To a half teaspoonful of green tea use a half pint of boiling water; +allow to infuse for five or six minutes, strain and cool. Extract the +juice from the lemons, add the sugar and water and mix with the cooled +tea. Prepare a punch bowl by placing a piece of ice in the center; pour +the tea and lemon mixture over and add two oranges peeled and cut into +halves and slices, then the mint, crushing the leaves before using. +Allow this to stand for a few minutes and pour in the grape juice, and +last, the carbonated water. The punch should be served as soon as ready. + + +CIDER PUNCH + + 2 quarts of sweet cider, + ½ pint of loganberry juice, + 3 lemons, + 3 oranges, + 2 cupfuls of sugar, + 3 pints of carbonated water. + +As loganberry juice is tart more sugar is seemingly needed than when +grape juice is used, but it is far better to err on the other side and +serve a punch too tart rather than too sweet. It is always wise to +taste any drink one is preparing. + +Peel the lemons and extract the juice, extract the juice from two of +the oranges and mix with the Loganberry juice and sugar and pour into +the punch bowl, in which a large piece of ice should have been placed. +Slice the third orange very thin and place in the bowl. Pour the +carbonated water over all and the punch is ready to serve. + + +GINGER ALE PUNCH + + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1½ cupfuls of tea, + 1 cupful of orange juice, + 1 pint of ginger ale, + 1 pint of Apollinaris, + ¼ cupful of lemon juice, + Ice. + +Pour one cupful and a half of boiling water over a level teaspoonful +of tea and allow to infuse for five minutes; strain and pour over the +sugar, stir and allow to cool.

Most +cocktails served at the home table will doubtless be made of fresh +fruits, but the housekeeper will find that there are a number of +combinations of fruits and vegetables which will be quite acceptable to +her family and guests. + +There are several things to remember when making a cocktail; one of +which is, always use attractive glasses and be sure that they shine. +Have the ingredients quite cold and by no means make them too sweet, +for if they lose the tartness, the best effect is lost. + +The more attractive the cocktail _looks_, the more appetizing it will +prove to be. + + +CUCUMBER COCKTAIL + +For individual portion use the following: + + 2 tablespoonfuls of peeled, chopped cucumber, + ½ teaspoonful of grated horse-radish, + ¼ teaspoonful of chopped onion, + 1 teaspoonful of chopped celery, + ½ teaspoonful of chopped radish (not peeled), + Salt, + French dressing, + Paprika. + +Chop the cucumber, celery, onion and radish; mix with the horse-radish, +and salt to taste.

For in this way she could always offer a +guest a delightful and refreshing drink with the least amount of work +and expenditure of time. + +1 have been fortunate to have found in the family recipes for vinegars +and shrubs dating back to 1845. Besides these I shall give those of +later dates, allowing my readers to try them and decide for themselves +which they shall use. + + +RASPBERRY VINEGAR (date 1845) + + 2 quarts of raspberries, + 1 pint of cider vinegar, + Sugar. + +To two quarts of raspberries use one pint of cider vinegar. Allow +this to stand for two or three days; then mash and put them in a bag +to strain. To every pint of juice, when strained, add a pound of +granulated sugar. Boil this for twenty minutes, skim and bottle when +cold. + + +RASPBERRY VINEGAR (MOTHER’S) + + 10 quarts of red raspberries, + Cider vinegar, + Sugar. + +Look over ten quarts of red raspberries and cover with cider vinegar. +Allow this to stand for two or three days, then strain and press the +juice from the berries. To every pint of juice add one pound of sugar, +and boil until of the consistency of syrup. Bottle and store for use. A +tablespoonful to a glass of iced water is an excellent proportion. + + +RASPBERRY VINEGAR (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 2 quarts of raspberries, + 1 quart of French vinegar, + Sugar. + +Put one quart of the berries in a deep crock and pour the vinegar over +them, allowing this to stand for twenty-four hours. Strain through +a jelly bag, add the other quart of berries and allow them to stand +another twenty-four hours. Strain again, adding the berries, allow this +to stand for a third time for twenty-four hours. Then strain through +a muslin bag and add one pound of granulated sugar for each pint of +juice. Boil the whole for half an hour, using a porcelain kettle. When +cold, bottle and seal. Kept in a cool place this will keep for years, +improving with age. + +Créoles use this vinegar by adding a teaspoonful to a small glass of +iced water, sometimes putting a little more sugar with it, as pleases +the taste of the guest. + + +BLACKBERRY VINEGAR (NEW ENGLAND RECIPE) + + 10 quarts of blackberries, + Cider vinegar, + Sugar. + +Cover ten quarts of blackberries with cider vinegar and allow to +stand for three days, strain and press all the juice possible from +the berries, using a jelly bag. To every pint of juice add one pound +of granulated sugar and boil for twenty minutes. Skim, and when cold +bottle and seal. + +To serve, use a tablespoonful to a glass of iced water. + + +BLACKBERRY VINEGAR (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 2 quarts of blackberries, + 1 quart of French vinegar, + Sugar. + +Put one quart of blackberries into a deep jar and pour the vinegar +over. Allow this to stand for twenty-four hours, strain, add the other +quart of berries, returning the first berries, allow this to again +stand for twenty-four hours. Strain again, returning the berries, +allow it to stand for the third twenty-four hours. Strain through a +muslin bag, and add a pound of sugar for every pint of juice. Boil in +a porcelain kettle for a half hour. When cold, bottle and keep in a +cool place. This vinegar will improve with age. Use a teaspoonful to a +_small_ glass of iced water, when serving. + + +STRAWBERRY VINEGAR + + 10 quarts of strawberries, + Vinegar, + Sugar. + +Hull the berries and cover them with a pure cider vinegar, allowing +them to stand twenty-four hours. Strain, and press all the juice +possible from the berries, using a jelly bag for the straining. Add one +pound of granulated sugar to each pint of juice and boil for twenty +minutes. When cold, bottle and seal and keep in a cool place. Use one +tablespoonful to the glass when ready to serve. + + +STRAWBERRY VINEGAR (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 2 quarts of strawberries, + 1 quart of French vinegar, + Sugar. + +Pour a quart of vinegar over one quart of berries, using a deep dish; +allow this to stand for twenty-four hours, strain, add the second +quart of berries and again allow to stand for twenty-four hours, repeat +the same operation the next day, making three times in all, then strain +through a muslin bag, and add one pound of sugar for each pint of +juice. Boil the mixture for a half hour using a porcelain kettle. When +cold, bottle and seal. Use one tablespoonful to each small glass of +iced water, when serving. + + +PINEAPPLE VINEGAR + + 3 ripe pineapples, + 1 quart of pure cider vinegar, + Sugar. + +Peel and slice the pineapples very thin and cover with pure cider +vinegar, allowing it to stand three days. Mash well, and strain through +a bag. To every quart of juice allow one and three-quarters pounds of +granulated sugar. Boil for ten minutes, skim carefully and bottle when +slightly cool. Use a tablespoonful to each glass of iced water when +serving. + + +ORANGE VINEGAR + + 3 dozen oranges, + 1 quart of cider vinegar, + Sugar. + +Peel the oranges carefully, slice very thin and cover with the vinegar, +allowing them to stand for three days. Mash well, and strain through a +jelly bag. To each quart of juice allow one and three-quarters pounds +of granulated sugar. Boil for ten minutes, allow to cool slightly; +bottle and seal. Keep in a cool place. One tablespoonful of this added +to a glass of iced water makes a delicious drink. + + +CURRANT SHRUB (date of recipe, 1845) + + 2 quarts of currants, + Sugar. + +Crush the currants and press through a bag; to each pint of juice add +a pound of granulated sugar, boil five minutes, stir constantly while +cooling. When cool, bottle and seal. Use a teaspoonful of this syrup to +a glass of iced water. + + +RASPBERRY SHRUB + +Put the raspberries in a porcelain utensil and crush with a wooden +spoon. Cover with cider vinegar and let stand over night. Strain the +juice through a jelly bag, add three-fourths of a pound of sugar for +every pint of the juice. Heat slowly to the boiling point, skim, allow +to boil five minutes and then bottle while hot. Seal the corks with +paraffin or sealing wax. + + + FRUIT WATERS + +Fruit waters are prepared shortly before they are to be used, are not +bottled and stored as are syrups. So it is necessary to make these +waters only when the fruit to be used is in season. + + +CHERRY WATER + + 2 pounds of cherries, + 1 lemon, + ½ pound of sugar. + +Stone the cherries, mash the pulp well, using a porcelain vessel; add +a cupful of distilled water (or rain water if it is possible to obtain +it fresh and clear), and the juice of one lemon. Stir well and allow +to stand for two hours. Wash the cherry stones, crush and add to the +cherry pulp; add half a pound of granulated sugar and allow to stand +for another hour. Strain this mixture and filter, using a jelly bag. +Put into a jar and set on the ice until ready for use. Fill glasses +nearly full of crushed ice and fill with the fruit water. + + +ORANGE WATER + + 6 oranges (preferably Florida oranges), + 1 ounce of orange flower water (commercial), + 1 lemon, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 pint of distilled water. + +Extract the juice from the oranges and the lemon; put in an earthen +dish, add the orange flower water, distilled water, and the sugar. Stir +until the sugar is dissolved, strain carefully and put on ice until +ready to serve. Fill the glass nearly full with crushed ice and fill +with the orange water. + + +STRAWBERRY WATER + + 1 quart of water, + ½ pound of sugar, + Ripe strawberries. + +Select ripe strawberries, crush and strain, pressing all the juice +possible from them. To each pint of juice, add one quart of distilled +water and a half pound of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is +dissolved and place on ice until ready to serve. Fill the serving glass +nearly full of crushed ice and fill with the strawberry water. + + +RASPBERRY WATER + + Raspberries to make ½ pint of juice, + ½ pound of sugar, + 1 quart of water. + +Select ripe berries; look them over carefully, as little worms get into +raspberries. Crush the berries, add a little distilled water, allowing +them to stand for an hour. Strain through a jelly bag, squeezing all +the juice possible from them. To a pint of juice add a half pound of +granulated sugar and the remaining distilled water. Stir well and +place on ice until ready to use. A teaspoonful to a small glass of +crushed ice makes a desirable drink for hot days. + + +CURRANT WATER + + ½ pound of sugar, + 1 quart of water, + Currants to make ½ pint of juice. + +Mash the currants, add a little of the quart of distilled water, and +put on the ice for an hour. At the end of that time, strain through a +jelly bag; add the sugar and the rest of the distilled water. Stir, +and set on the ice until time for service. A generous teaspoonful to a +small glass of crushed ice, or a tablespoonful to a glass of iced water +is about the amount which will prove pleasing to one’s guests. + + +PINEAPPLE WATER + + 1 large ripe pineapple, + ½ pound of sugar, + 1 lemon, + 1 quart of distilled water. + +Peel the pineapple carefully, cut into thin slices, mash and allow to +stand for ten minutes. Press as much of the juice as possible through +a sieve, then allow it to drip through a jelly bag. Add the sugar and +the water, stir and set on the ice until ready to serve. Into a claret +glass of crushed ice put two teaspoonfuls of the juice, or into a small +glass of iced water, put two tablespoonfuls of the juice. + + + + + V—SYRUPS—FRUIT AND PLAIN + + +As many delightful drinks are made with either plain or fruit syrup +as the foundation, I shall give a number of recipes for making these, +leaving the housekeeper to decide which she prefers. + + +PLAIN SYRUP + +The following recipe is one used by a man famous for his ability in +mixing drinks: + + 6½ pounds of loaf sugar, + ½ gallon of water, + 1 egg white. + +Boil the sugar, water and egg white together until the sugar is +thoroughly dissolved; filter through flannel, bottle and seal. + +Note: When using a flannel bag, wring it out of very hot water before +using, being sure that it is as dry as you can make it. In this way +there will be very little loss of syrup. + + +PLAIN SYRUP No. 2 + + 1½ quarts of water, + 2 pounds of loaf sugar. + +This recipe is also one used by a well-known mixer of drinks. + +Put the sugar and water over the fire in an enameled kettle; allow +it to boil slowly; stirring occasionally. Skim well, and strain into +bottles and seal. + + +PLAIN SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 2 pounds of sugar, + 1½ pints of water. + +Cook the sugar and water until the syrup snaps instantly if placed +between the fingers and the fingers are immersed in cold water. Allow +this to become somewhat cool, bottle and seal. + + +PLAIN SYRUP (OLD RECIPE) + +The recipe reads: “To every large teacupful of water, add a pound of +sugar.” It would seem wiser in this day to use one _measuring_ cupful +of water to each pound of granulated sugar, if one cares to use this +recipe. For what one might consider a large cup someone else might +think rather small. + +The recipe directs that “as the sugar and water begins to heat, stir +it often, and when it rises towards the top of the kettle, put in +another cupful of water; repeating this process two or three times.” +If the syrup is not clear, and a scum arises, we are told “to skim it +carefully, and strain into bottles.” + + +PLAIN SYRUP (QUICKLY MADE) + + 4 pounds of granulated sugar, + 1 quart of cold water, + 1 egg white. + +Put the sugar in a porcelain kettle, add the stiffly beaten white of +one egg, and the quart of water; stir until the sugar is thoroughly +dissolved. Put over the fire and simmer for five minutes, skim, strain +through a flannel bag, bottle and seal. It is always well to make a +small quantity, for in that way one is assured that there will be no +spoilage. + +When using a flannel bag, be sure to wring it very dry from hot water, +by so doing insuring the least loss of syrup. + + +GUM SYRUP + +Sometimes one reads a recipe in which “gum” is used, and unless one is +initiated one is not apt to know what is required. + + 3½ pounds of loaf sugar, + 2 quarts of water. + +Boil together for five minutes, strain and bottle. + + +APRICOT SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 3 pints of apricot juice, + 1 quart of plain syrup (use Créole recipe for plain syrup), + 1 teaspoonful of extract of apricot. + +Peel and stone the apricots, cut into small pieces, mash well, cover +with a linen cloth, and set them on the ice in a stone or porcelain +jar for thirty-six hours. Then strain through a bag, pressing out all +the juice possible. Heat the plain syrup until the boiling point is +reached, add the apricot juice and boil hard for five minutes. Take +from the fire and allow to become nearly cold; add the extract, bottle +and keep in a cool place. + + +APRICOT SYRUP + + 1 pint of apricot juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Peel and cut into pieces as many apricots as one wishes to use, put +into a porcelain kettle with a little water—enough to barely cover the +bottom of the kettle; crack a few of the apricot stones and add to the +fruit and water. Boil slowly for fifteen minutes, strain through a +flannel bag. To each pint of juice use one pound of sugar, return to +the kettle and boil for five minutes. Pour into hot bottles and seal. + + +BLACKBERRY SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 3 pints of blackberry juice, + 1 quart of plain syrup. + +Look the blackberries over very carefully, wash, stem and mash; cover +carefully with a cloth and set on ice for thirty-six hours. Strain +through a bag, pressing out all the juice possible. Heat the plain +syrup to the boiling point and add the blackberry juice, boil for five +minutes, remove from the fire and allow to become nearly cool; bottle +and seal. Put in a cool place when storing. + + +BLACKBERRY SYRUP + + 1 pint of blackberry juice, + 1 pound of granulated sugar, + 1 ounce of cider vinegar, + 4 whole cloves, + ⅛ teaspoonful of cinnamon, + ⅛ teaspoonful of ground mace. + +Select perfectly ripe blackberries, wash, mash and put on the ice in a +carefully covered jar for twenty-four hours. It is well to cover the +berries with a linen cloth. At the end of that time, press through a +bag, and to each pint of juice add one pound of granulated sugar, one +ounce of cider vinegar, four whole cloves, an eighth teaspoonful of +cinnamon and an eighth teaspoonful of mace. Bring to the boiling point +and allow it to boil for five minutes, strain into hot bottles and +seal. When cold, store in a cool place. + + +CHERRY SYRUP + + 1 pint of cherry juice, + 1 pound of granulated sugar. + +Mash enough washed and stemmed cherries to make a pint of juice; let +the mashed cherries stand on ice for twenty-four hours. Strain through +a bag, add one pound of sugar to each pint of juice, boil five minutes, +skim, if necessary and pour into hot bottles; seal and store in a cool +place. + + +CHERRY SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 3 pints of cherry juice, + 1 quart of plain syrup. + +Wash, stem and pit the cherries; mash them and place on ice for +thirty-six hours. Press the juice through a bag, measure, and to each +3 pints of juice use one quart of plain syrup. Heat the syrup to the +boiling point, add the fruit juice and boil for five minutes. Allow to +become nearly cold, bottle and seal. Store in a cool place. + + +CHERRY SYRUP (NEW ENGLAND RECIPE) + + 1 pint of cherry juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Wash, stem and mash enough cherries to make a pint of juice, using a +porcelain vessel; crush a few pits and add to the cherries; allow the +fruit to stand on ice for twenty-four hours. Strain, and press all the +juice possible through a bag. To each pint of juice, add one pound of +granulated sugar, bring to the boiling point and boil for five minutes. +Skim, if necessary, and put into hot bottles. Seal and store. + + +CURRANT SYRUP + + 1 pint of currant juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Stem, wash and mash enough currants to make a pint of juice. Cover and +stand on ice for twenty-four hours. Strain through a bag, squeezing out +all the juice possible. To each pint add one pound of granulated sugar, +and boil for five minutes. Skim, if necessary, bottle in hot bottles, +seal and store in a cool place. + + +GRAPE SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 1 quart of plain syrup, + 1 pint of grape juice (made at home), + 1 pint of Catawba grape juice (commercial). + +Wash, stem and seed the grapes; crush and set on ice for thirty-six +hours. Strain through a bag, add the Catawba juice, and add that to +the plain syrup, which should have been brought to the boiling point. +Mix and boil together for five minutes. Strain, and when nearly cold, +bottle and store. + + +LEMON SYRUP + + 4 pounds of sugar, + 1 quart of water, + 2 cupfuls of lemon juice. + +Boil the water and sugar together for ten minutes, add the lemon juice, +continue boiling for another five minutes, strain into hot bottles and +store. + + +ORANGE SYRUP + + 1 pint of orange juice, + ½ cupful of lemon juice, + 1 quart of plain syrup (see recipe). + +Bring the plain syrup to the boiling point, add the lemon and orange +juice, continue to boil for five minutes. Strain into hot bottles and +store in a cool place. + + +ORGEAT SYRUP (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + +A very little of this syrup used in drinks where a mixture of fruits is +used will be found most satisfactory. + + 1 pound of sweet almonds, + 4 ounces of bitter almonds, + 2 pounds of granulated sugar, + 1 quart of soft water (distilled, if preferred), + 1 lemon, + 2 ounces of orange flower water. + +Shell the almonds, and throw into _cold_ water, allowing them to stand +until the skin will come off readily. Mash them, using a mortar, if +possible, or an earthen dish; continue to crush and mash, adding a +few drops of water and a little of the zest of the lemon, until the +mixture is pastelike. Moisten this paste with half of the soft water, +and squeeze as much as possible through a firm bag. Return the paste to +the dish and add the rest of the water, stir, put into the bag again +and again press all through the bag that is possible. + +Bring the plain syrup to the boiling point; remove from the fire, stir +the almond milk in thoroughly, return to the fire and bring again to +the boiling point, allowing it to boil for five minutes. When cool, +add the orange flower water; stir well, being sure that it is well +blended. Strain again, and place in bottles; seal and store. It is +well, however, to watch this and shake the bottles once in a while, +especially if the almond oil has risen to the top. + + +ORANGE FLOWER SYRUP + + 1 pint of orange flower water, + 1½ pounds of granulated sugar. + +Put the sugar into a porcelain kettle with the orange flower water, +stir until the sugar is dissolved, place on the fire and slowly bring +to the boiling point. Remove from the fire, cool somewhat and bottle. +Store in a cool place. + + +PEACH SYRUP + + 1 pint of peach juice, + 1 pound of sugar, + ½ teaspoonful of peach extract. + +Peel the peaches by dropping them into boiling water for one minute, +then the skin may be rubbed off, wasting none of the fruit at all. +Cut the peaches in small pieces, crack a few peach stones and add to +the fruit, placing all in a porcelain kettle; cover the bottom of the +kettle with water and boil slowly for fifteen minutes, strain through a +flannel bag, add one pound of sugar to each pint of juice and bring to +the boiling point again, boil for five minutes; take from the fire, add +the peach extract and bottle in hot bottles. + + +PINEAPPLE SYRUP + + 1 pint of pineapple juice, + 1 quart of plain syrup, + ⅛ cupful of lemon juice. + +Peel the pineapple, remove the eyes, using a pineapple scissors if +possible, for in that manner it is possible to remove _all_ the eye +with the least amount of trouble. Wind a towel around the pines, and +grate the pineapple on a coarse grater. Be sure to hold the pineapple +over a porcelain kettle or dish while working with it, so saving all +the juice. Heat a quart of plain syrup until it begins to boil, add the +pint of pineapple juice, and boil for five minutes; take from the fire +and add the lemon juice. Bottle while hot, using hot bottles. Seal and +store in a cool place. + + +RASPBERRY SYRUP + + 1 pint of raspberry juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Pick all the stems from the berries and look them over very carefully +as there are many little insects which like to hide in raspberries. +Wash and mash thoroughly. Place on ice for twenty-four hours, strain +through a bag and add one pound of sugar to each pint of juice. Bring +this to the boiling point and boil for five minutes. Strain into hot +bottles and seal. Keep in a cool place, preferably a dark one. + + +RASPBERRY AND CURRANT SYRUP + + ½ pint of raspberry juice, + ½ pint of currant juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Remove the stems, and discard any imperfect berries, remove the stems +and wash the currants; place in a bowl or porcelain kettle and mash +thoroughly. Place on ice, closely covered with a fine cloth, for +twenty-four hours. Strain through a bag and add one pound of granulated +sugar to each pint of juice. Boil for five minutes and put in hot +bottles. Seal the bottles and place in a cool dark place until ready to +use. + + +STRAWBERRY SYRUP + + 1 pint of strawberry juice, + 1 pound of sugar. + +Select ripe berries only, but be sure that they are not overripe. Hull +them, put them in a bowl or porcelain kettle, mash well, cover with a +cloth and place on ice for ten hours. Strain through a bag, pressing +out all the juice possible. To each pint of juice add one pound of +granulated sugar, put over a slow fire, stir constantly, and when the +boiling point is reached, skim and bottle while hot. Use hot bottles, +seal and store in a cool dark place. + + +LIME SYRUP + + 1 pint of lime juice (use fresh limes), + 1 quart of plain syrup. + +Extract the juice from the limes; bring the plain syrup to the boiling +point, add the lime juice, continue to boil for five minutes longer. +Strain into hot bottles and seal. Store where it is both dark and cool. + + + CHOCOLATE SYRUPS + +If one would be able to serve cold chocolate drinks at home which will +rival those offered at the soda fountains, one must learn how to make +chocolate syrups and keep them bottled for an emergency. + + +CHOCOLATE SYRUP (FOR BOTTLING) + + 1½ pounds of cocoa, + 1½ pints of water, + 1½ pounds of sugar, + 1 teaspoonful of vanilla. + +Heat the water until boiling, and use a little of it to moisten the +cocoa, mixing it until smooth; add the sugar, and the rest of the +water, stir carefully, being sure that the mixture is smooth, put over +the fire and bring to the boiling point; boil for five minutes and pour +into sterilized bottles. Seal and put away in a cool place. + + +CHOCOLATE SYRUP (FOR IMMEDIATE USE) + + ½ cupful of cocoa, + 2 cupfuls of sugar, + 1 cupful of boiling water, + Vanilla. + +Mix the cocoa and sugar, stir in a little of the water, mixing well to +be sure that the mixture is smooth; then add the rest of the water, +stir well and boil for five minutes. Add a half teaspoonful of vanilla +and put into a pint jar until needed for the refreshing drink. + +Two tablespoonfuls to each glass is about the right proportion when +ready to serve. + + +CHOCOLATE SYRUP (MADE FROM UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE) + +Because chocolate is somewhat richer than cocoa, many prefer it. The +following recipe, easily made, will be found most satisfactory. + + ¼ pound of grated chocolate, + 1 cupful of granulated sugar, + 1 cupful of water, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla. + +Grate the chocolate, add the sugar and then the hot water, mixing well. +Bring to the boiling point, boil for ten minutes, and put in a cool +place until serving time. A fruit jar is a most acceptable receptacle. + + +COFFEE SYRUP + + ¼ pound of Java coffee, + ¼ pound of Mocha coffee, + ½ gallon of water, + 5 pounds of granulated sugar. + +Grind the coffee, add the cold water and boil for five minutes; strain +and add the sugar; boil up again, strain a second time and bottle while +hot. + + +COFFEE SYRUP No. 2 + + ½ cupful of powdered coffee, + 3 cupfuls of boiling water, + 3 tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar. + +Use any coffee desired, although a mixture of Java and Mocha is +recommended. Pulverize the coffee, pack it in the bag of a drip pot; +pour the boiling water over it slowly, allow it to drip until the +powdered coffee in the bag seems dry. Add the sugar, boil for five +minutes and bottle while hot. Use hot bottles, and seal immediately. + + +CREAM SYRUP + + ½ pint of thick cream, + ½ pint of milk, + 1 pound of block sugar. + +Pour enough hot water over the sugar to melt it, add the milk, stir +until the sugar is dissolved and add the cream; mix well and it is +ready for use. + + +SARSAPARILLA SYRUP + + 10 drops of oil of wintergreen, + 10 drops of oil of sassafras, + ½ ounce of fluid extract of liquorice, + 5 pints of plain syrup. + +Heat the plain syrup until the boiling point is reached, and stir in +the essential oils. Bottle while hot. + + + + + VI—GRAPE JUICE, ROOT BEERS AND CIDER + + + GRAPE JUICE + +As it is possible to purchase grape juice, either purple or white, in +bottles, at prices which are not at all beyond reason, it is hardly +necessary to make it at home, but if one has a few grapes which one +desires to use for drinks and has not the opportunity to obtain the +commercial product it may be made after the directions issued by the +Department of Agriculture at Washington. + +These directions follow. + + + TO MAKE GRAPE JUICE + +Only clean, sound, well ripened, but not overripe, grapes should +be used. These may be crushed and pressed either by hand or in an +ordinary cider mill. If light colored juice is desired, the crushed +grapes are put in a clean, well washed cloth sack and either hung up +and twisted or grasped by two persons, one at either end, and twisted +until the greater part of the juice is expressed. Then, in a double +boiler or its equivalent, such as a large stone jar placed in a pan of +hot water, so that the juice does not come in direct contact with the +fire, the juice is gradually heated to a temperature of 180° to 200° +F. The temperature should never be allowed to go over 200° F. It is +best to use a thermometer; if none is available, however, the juice +may be heated until it steams, but it should not be allowed to boil. +It should be poured immediately into a glass or enameled vessel and +allowed to settle for 24 hours; then the juice should be drained from +the sediment and run through several thicknesses of clean flannel or +through a conic filter made from woolen cloth or felt and fixed to a +hoop of iron, so that it can be suspended wherever necessary. The juice +is then poured into clean bottles, space being left at the top for the +liquid to expand when heated. A good home substitute for the commercial +pasteurizer is an ordinary wash boiler with a thin board fitted over +the bottom on which the filled bottles are set. Ordinary glass fruit +jars serve the same purpose equally well. The tubs should be filled +with water within an inch or so of the tops of the bottles and heated +until the water begins to simmer. The bottles should be taken out and +sealed or corked immediately. Only new corks that have just been soaked +in a temperature of about 140° F. should be used. It is well to take +the further precaution of sealing the corks with paraffin or sealing +wax to prevent the entrance of mold germs. + +When red juice is desired, crushed grapes should first be heated to a +temperature of not more than 200° F.; then strained through a clean +cloth or drip bag, no pressure being used, and set away to cool and +settle. The remaining procedure is the same for the red as for the +light colored juice. Many people do not even take the trouble to let +the juice settle after it is strained, simply reheating and sealing the +vessels and setting them away in an upright position in a cool place +where they will be undisturbed. If bottles are used, the corks should +be sterilized and the necks of the bottles sealed with sealing wax. The +juice settles, and when desired for use the clear liquid is poured off +the sediment. + +Any person familiar with the process of canning fruit can put up grape +juice, for the principles involved are the same. Care should be taken +not to sterilize the juice at a temperature higher than 195° F.; or the +finished product will have a scorched taste. The bottles or jars should +not be so large that when they are opened the juice will spoil before +it can be used. Unfermented grape juice, properly made and bottled, +will keep indefinitely if not exposed to the atmosphere or to infection +of mold germs; when a bottle is once open, however, the contents, like +canned goods generally, should be used as soon as possible. Unfermented +juice may be made not only from all varieties of grapes, but also from +some other fruits, such as apples, pears and cherries. Some berries +also yield excellent juices. + + + GRAPE JUICE No. 2 + +Crush the grapes in a clean kettle with a wooden spoon and put them in +a cloth sack or jelly bag. Twist the sack or press it until the juice +has all come out. Put the juice in a double boiler over hot water until +it steams. If a kettle is used, great care must be taken that the juice +does not boil. Let the juice stand in an enamel kettle for 24 hours to +settle. Run it through a flannel jelly bag and put into clean bottles. +Leave space in bottle for the liquid to expand. Put the bottle in a +sterilizer and fill the sterilizer with cold water until within an inch +of the top of the bottles. Heat the water slowly until it is nearly +simmering, take the bottles out and insert clean corks, and, as a final +precaution it is advisable to dip the top of the cork in sealing wax or +paraffin. + +This makes a light colored juice. For a red juice, the grapes may be +heated until just before the boiling point as in the first part of the +process. It is not necessary to allow the juice to settle but it is +much clearer if you do. + + ROOT BEERS + +GINGER BEER + + 2 ounces of ginger root, + 2 ounces of cream of tartar, + 1 lemon, + 1½ pounds of granulated sugar, + ¼ cake of compressed yeast. + +Place the ginger in a large bowl, bruise and pound thoroughly; add +boiling water, then the grated rind of the lemon and when stirred in, +add the juice of the lemon. Now mix in the cream of tartar and the +sugar; stir well, allow to cool until lukewarm; add the yeast which +should have been dissolved in a little warm water. Mix all together, +cover tightly and allow to stand for six hours. At the end of that +time, strain and put into bottles having patent tops, unless one has a +commercial “topper” which is most desirable. Keep in a cool place, for +if kept warm or not securely corked the beer will effervesce. + + +ENGLISH GINGER BEER + +This interesting recipe dates back to about 1840. + + 1½ ounces of ginger, + 4 quarts of boiling water, + 1 ounce of cream of tartar, + 1 pound of sugar, + 2 lemons, + 1 cupful of yeast. + +Pour the boiling water upon the ginger and the sugar (either brown or +granulated may be used) add two lemons thinly sliced. Into this pour +one cupful of good yeast and allow it to stand for twenty-four hours. +Pour off carefully and put into bottles. + + +MAPLE BEER + + 4 gallons of boiling water, + 1 quart of pure maple syrup, + 1 tablespoonful of essence of spruce, + 1 pint of yeast. + +This recipe too, dates back to 1840. + +Put in a large container, one quart of pure maple syrup, and add +one gallon of boiling water and the spruce essence; allow this to +stand until lukewarm, then add a pint of yeast, allowing it to stand +twenty-four hours. Pour off carefully and bottle and seal. + + +ROOT BEER + + ½ cupful of commercial root beer extract, + 5 pounds of sugar, + 5 gallons of rain water, + ¾ cake of compressed yeast. + +Dissolve the yeast cake in a little warm water; mix the sugar and root +beer extract together and add the water, which should be hot; allow +this to stand until lukewarm and add the yeast cake; mix well, allow to +settle and pour into bottles. If one owns patent top bottles they are +easily handled. Fasten the stopper and store where it is cool. The beer +will be ready for use after twenty-four hours. + +It is not at all necessary to put this beer up in such quantities; just +divide or subdivide the recipe. + + +SPRUCE BEER (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 2 quarts of water, + ½ ounce of hops, + ½ teaspoonful of ginger, + ½ pint of Louisiana molasses, + 4 tablespoonfuls of yeast, + Sprigs of spruce. + +Gather a handful of spruce sprigs, break and bruise, and steep in a +little water until a strong essence is made. + +Pour the water over the hops and the ginger and allow to boil; strain +and add the molasses and essence of spruce. Cool until lukewarm and add +the yeast. Cover tightly and stand away for twenty-four hours. Pour off +carefully and bottle. Seal and store in a cool place. In two days the +beer is ready for use. + +One may gather the spruce sprigs as directed, or purchase the extract +or essence of spruce, or steep the spruce gum. + + +BIRCH BEER + + ¼ pound of black birch bark, + ½ ounce of hops, + 1 teaspoonful of ginger, + ½ compressed yeast cake, + 1 pint of corn syrup, + 3 quarts of water (soft or rain water). + +Boil the birch bark in a quart of water until reduced a third; strain +and set aside until the hops, syrup and ginger has boiled for twenty +minutes. Strain and mix with the birch extract; when cooled until about +lukewarm add the yeast cake dissolved in a little warm water. Cover +tightly and stand away for twenty-four hours. Strain into bottles and +cork well. + + +CIDER + +It would seem unnecessary labor to make cider at home, unless, of +course one lives on a farm and has many apples to dispose of after the +selected apples are shipped or stored for winter use. And even in that +event one is likely to take the apples to a community cider mill. But +if there should be a time when one of my readers cares to try cider +making at home it may be done with utensils found in every kitchen. + +Be sure that there are no bruised or rotted spots on the apples to be +used and wipe them carefully with a damp cloth. Cut them in pieces and +run through a food grinder, placing a deep dish where it will catch +_all_ of the juice. Place a fine cloth in a colander; pile the apple +pomace (the ground apple) in it and pour all the juice in too. Fold the +cloth over and place a heavy weight on top, pressing it often. When the +juice or cider is pressed out, bottle and use. It should not be kept, +as it becomes sour very quickly. + +It is probably as economical to purchase the sweet cider as to use the +time and the necessary apples to make the cider. + + +TO KEEP CIDER SWEET AND SPARKLING + +(Date of recipe, 1845) + +Let the new sweet cider ferment from one to three weeks according to +whether the weather is cool or warm, longer if cool or one week if +warm. When it has attained a lively fermentation, add to each gallon, +according to its acidity, from one half to two pounds of sugar, and +allow it to again ferment until the desired sweetness is reached. +Pour out one quart of the cider and add for each gallon one-quarter +ounce of sulphite of lime (anti-chloride). Stir the powder and cider +until thoroughly mixed and return to the rest of the cider. Agitate +well and briskly for a few minutes and then let the cider settle. The +fermentation will cease at once. After a few days draw off the clear +cider, bottle carefully, and cork well. Bottles with patent stoppers +will be found most satisfactory. + + +TO BOIL CIDER + +(Old New England recipe) + +Use perfectly sweet cider, preferably not over two days old: boil until +boiled down about half. Skim often, pour into hot bottles and cork +tightly. Store in a cool place. + +This may be used for drinks, by stirring two tablespoonfuls into a +glassful of iced water. + + + + + VII—COLD MILK DRINKS, HOT MILK AND BUTTERMILK + + + SHAKES, NOGGS AND PUNCHES + +While many do not care for milk as a drink, still milk in combination +with syrups, eggs, malted milk, flavoring extracts or fruit juices will +be found pleasing even to those who would not drink it plain. When one +considers the amount of nourishment furnished by a glass of milk, it is +well to serve it when possible, even disguised as a nogg or punch. + + +CHOCOLATE MILK + + 1 cupful of milk, + ⅛ cupful of chocolate syrup (see syrups) (2 tablespoonfuls), + Ice. + +Use a cocktail shaker, put two tablespoonfuls of cracked ice in the +shaker, add the chocolate syrup and the milk; shake well, strain into +a tall glass and serve. It is wise to use an iced tea glass, as these +glasses hold at least ten ounces, and as a measuring cup will hold +eight ounces of milk, there is room for the ice and syrup. + + +CHOCOLATE, EGG AND MILK + + 1 cupful of milk, + 1 egg, + ⅛ cupful of chocolate syrup (2 tablespoonfuls), + Ice. + +Place all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake thoroughly and +strain into a tall thin glass.

Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and serve with a straw. + + +SILLABUB + + 1 pint of thick cream, + 1 cupful of powdered sugar, + ½ cupful of raspberry juice. + +It is quite possible in most large places to purchase a sillabub churn, +which is a small tin cylinder, having a small dasher which fits loosely. + +Whip the cream until frothy, using the churn; sweeten to taste with the +powdered sugar and add the raspberry juice, which should be stirred in +swiftly and the drink served at once in tall, stemmed glasses. Serve +with long handled spoons. + +If a churn is not obtainable, use a cream whisk, but stop beating at +the frothy stage. + + +SILLABUB WITH GRAPE JUICE + + 1 quart of thick cream, + 4 egg whites, + 1 cupful of grape juice, + 1¾ cupfuls of powdered sugar. + +Whip the cream until very stiff, adding half the powdered sugar; whip +the egg whites until dry, adding remaining sugar gradually; when +finished, mix the cream and the beaten whites thoroughly and add the +grape juice.

The raspberry +syrup will disguise both the milk taste and the vichy, in case one does +not like either. + + + HOT MILK DRINKS + + +HOT MILK + +For the person who is tired and who does not like plain cold milk, try +heating the milk until just below the boiling point, adding a goodly +sized pinch of salt and a generous sprinkling of paprika. Serve with a +saltine or a toasted cracker. + + +HOT MILK WITH CELERY SALT + +Heat the milk until just below the boiling point, add a generous pinch +of salt and a sprinkling of celery salt; stir well and serve with +toasted crackers. + + +HOT MALTED MILK + + 2 teaspoonfuls of malted milk, + 1 teaspoonful of sugar, + ⅛ teaspoonful of salt, + 1 cupful of milk. + +Blend the malted milk with enough hot water to make it smooth, add the +salt and sugar, stirring thoroughly and add the cupful of milk, which +should have been heated until just below the boiling point. + + +HOT MALTED MILK WITH CHOCOLATE + + 2 teaspoonfuls of malted milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of chocolate syrup, + 1 cupful of milk. + +Blend the malted milk with a little hot water; stir until smooth; add +the chocolate syrup, stir, and add the milk which should be heated +until just before the boiling point is reached. + + +HOT MALTED MILK WITH COFFEE + + 2 teaspoonfuls of malted milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of strong dripped coffee, + 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar, + 1 cupful of milk. + +Blend the malted milk with enough hot water to make smooth, add the +sugar and stir until well mixed, add the coffee and the milk heated +until the boiling point is reached. + +Coffee syrup may be used if desired. Use two tablespoonfuls, but do not +use sugar with it. + + +BUTTERMILK + +Buttermilk as a beverage is to be greatly desired because of its food +value as well as the fact that it is a most refreshing drink. + +The food content is very high, having nearly all the food materials +found in whole milk, excepting, of course, the butter fats, which have +been removed by churning; still some fats do remain; especially is this +true of buttermilk obtained direct from such farmers as do not use the +most advanced methods of butter-making. + +We find 3 per cent. of protein, nearly 5 per cent. of carbohydrates +in the form of milk sugar, 0.7 per cent. of mineral constituents, and +about 0.5 per cent. of fats. + +Buttermilk is recommended by many successful physicians as an aid in +intestinal disorders. + +Buttermilk is served at most soda fountains, and may be ordered from +one’s dairyman, also may be obtained at some grocers’ and at all better +class hotels. + + +BUTTERMILK LEMONADE + +For persons not caring for buttermilk plain, one may make a lemonade +which is healthful as well as delicious. + + 1 quart of buttermilk, + 2 lemons, + 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar. + +Extract the juice of the lemons, add the sugar and stir until +dissolved; add the buttermilk, stirring constantly. If a smaller +quantity is to be made it were well to use a shaker, for then the +lemonade will be so thoroughly mixed that the results will be most +satisfactory. + + +“LACTO” + +The following recipe is taken from a bulletin issued by the Iowa +Agricultural Experiment Station. + + 2 quarts of buttermilk, + 2 pounds of sugar, + 2 eggs, + 1⅔ cupfuls of orange juice, + ½ cupful of lemon juice. + +Dissolve the sugar in the buttermilk and add the eggs, yolks and whites +beaten separately. Stir and strain the mixture and add the fruit +juices. Freeze as for ice cream, and pack in ice for an hour before +serving. + + + + + VIII—COFFEE, CHOCOLATE, COCOA AND TEA + + +A book of beverage recipes which did not give directions for making +coffee, tea and cocoa would surely fail in its mission. + +I have given recipes from many countries, and by many men famous for +coffee making, feeling sure that each reader will find the exact one to +please the fancy of himself or herself and family. + + +COFFEE + +Even though we as Americans are coffee drinkers to almost an alarming +degree, it is not often that we find a cook who really makes excellent +coffee. + +When purchasing coffee one must be influenced by one’s taste; whether +all Java, whether equal parts of Mocha and Java, or whether a blend of +one’s own or a commercial blend is used. + +One thing should be remembered, and that is: good coffee is served as +soon as it is made. + +The pot should always be hot before the coffee is made. + +The late Francis B. Thurber, a coffee importer, who made coffee a study +both as it came to this country and as it was grown in its native +state, gives the following recipe as his idea of unexcelled coffee: + +To one cupful of coffee ground moderately fine add one egg with shell, +and enough cold water to wet the grounds. Pour on one pint of boiling +water and let it boil for fifteen minutes. Remove the pot from the fire +and allow it to stand for three minutes to settle, then strain into a +warm coffee pot. Serve in cups half filled with boiling milk, or if +cream is used dilute with hot water. + + +FRENCH DRIP COFFEE + +For _cafe noir_ use two tablespoonfuls of finely ground coffee for each +cup. Coffee should be packed tightly as possible in the upper part of +the French pot, and the boiling water poured through. When this has +dripped through, redrip and serve. + +Parisian housekeepers, before throwing out the grounds, pour boiling +water through the coffee again, reserving this for use the next time +coffee is made. + +Much of the flavor of French coffee is said to be due to this practice. + + +VIENNA COFFEE + +The pot required to make coffee after this method is the style with a +cloth bag in the top. + +Use two level tablespoonfuls of coffee to the cup, and place in the +bag, pouring the boiling water through. + +Serve with hot milk. + + +ENGLISH COFFEE + +After the recipe of M. Soyer, a former _chef_ of the Savoy. + + * * * * * + +Place two ounces of moderately fine ground coffee in a stew-pan, and +without adding water, hold over the fire, stirring with a spoon until +the coffee is very hot. Pour over the coffee a pint of boiling water +and cover closely; remove at once from fire and let stand for five +minutes, then strain through a cloth, heat and serve with or without +cream. + + +COFFEE, BRAZILIAN STYLE + +In Brazil, whence practically all of the world’s supply of coffee +comes, the popular method is to place the coffee in a _woolen_ bag, +which is placed in a pot and boiling water poured over it. The coffee +is immediately poured off. + + +COFFEE, BATAVIA STYLE + +(_As made by the Dutch coffee planters in Java_) + +The coffee is ground fine and packed tightly in the top of a French +pot. The required amount of _cold_ water is poured over it and allowed +to drip through. It requires about five hours for the process if the +coffee is packed as tightly as it should be. The coffee is then heated +and from three to four times its volume of hot milk added. + + +TURKISH COFFEE + +A heaping dessertspoonful of powdered coffee is added to one small +cupful of cold water. This is brought to a boil, and the coffee and +grounds are poured into the cup. + +Turkish coffee is drunk grounds and all, without cream or sugar. + + +KAFFEE “KULTUR” + +It is the unanimous observation of civilized travelers that good coffee +is unobtainable in Germany. The foremost scientist of that race, the +famous Baron von Liebig, nearly a hundred years ago wrote an exhaustive +treatise on the subject of coffee and coffee making, and devised the +concoction which among Germans now passes for coffee. Was it not given +them by authority? This is von Liebig’s recipe: + +Put three-quarters of the amount of coffee to be used on the fire +in boiling water; boil from ten to fifteen minutes. Then put in the +remaining one-quarter of the coffee, cover and let it stand for five +minutes. Stir, strain and serve with an equal amount of milk. + + +EXCELLENT COFFEE + +Use a drip pot, one having a cloth bag. Wet the bag, place the coffee +in this, and pack as tightly as possible around the sides and bottom. +Pour in slowly three cupfuls of boiling water to each half cupful +of powdered coffee. Place the pot on the back of the range, or on an +asbestos mat with only enough flame under to keep it warm, and pour the +water slowly. + +Serve with cream as soon as dripped. + + +TEA + +Chin Hung, Chinese scholar and philosopher, to whom all the +agricultural and medical knowledge of China is traced, once said, so I +am told: “Tea is better than wine, for it leadeth not to intoxication, +neither does it cause a man to say foolish things. It is better than +water, for it doth not carry disease, neither doth it act as poison.” + +There are really but two kinds of teas on the market: green and black. +The color of the tea depends on the oxidation; black tea being exposed +to the air, or oxidized before final drying, while green tea is dried +immediately after rolling. + +There are a number of different brands with which we are all familiar, +such as Formosa, Oolong, Ceylon, English Breakfast, Orange Pekoe, and +Flowery Pekoe. + +Right here I will say that if a spray of orange blossom is kept in the +tea caddy one need not pay the price for Orange Pekoe. + + +TEA MAKING + +Be sure that the water is boiling, and use it at once. Rinse the pot +with hot water. Place the tea in the pot in a “ball,” and pour over the +freshly boiled water, allowing it to stand for five minutes, then the +tea-ball and the tea should be removed. + +Use a level teaspoonful of tea to one and a half cupfuls of water. I +think most people will want to dilute this, even. + + +RUSSIAN TEA + +“Russian tea” has a rather inflated reputation, and is not really known +in this country as it is used there. + +A great amount of tea infusion is used, as the samovar is always in +evidence, but the water is poured on the tea again and again, making a +great amount of liquid without much strength. Sugar and lemon juice is +added and it is drunk from a glass. + + +ICED TEA + +One may make fresh tea and pour it over cracked ice in individual +glasses, or one may make a rather strong solution of tea, and add +cracked ice to it in a large pitcher, or make a weaker solution, and +pour over cracked ice in glasses. The method must depend upon the fancy +of one’s family, or the hostess. + + +ICED TEA WITH MINT + +While iced tea is usually served with sugar and lemon, I am quite sure +that in addition a spray of mint will be found most acceptable. Place +the mint in the glass and pour the tea over. + + +HOT TEA WITH MINT + +I find that a cupful of hot tea into which a few leaves of mint have +been placed is most refreshing. This may be served either with or +without sugar. + + +COCOA AND CHOCOLATE + +It is very rare for one to serve chocolate these days, as cocoa in a +perfected form is put up by reliable firms in this country, and most +hostesses prefer it to chocolate, which is more difficult to prepare +and rather richer than wise to serve to the family generally. + + +COCOA + + 1 cupful of milk, + 1 teaspoonful of cocoa. + +Bring the milk to the boiling point and pour in the cocoa moistened +with a little warm water. Stir and allow to boil, beating with a +cream whip for a minute or two. Pour through a strainer into a cup or +individual pot. Multiply this amount by the number of cups to be served. + + +COCOA No. 2 + + 1 cupful of milk, + 2 teaspoonfuls of cocoa. + +Use a _porcelain_ kettle; mix the cocoa with enough hot water to make a +smooth paste, pour the milk over it slowly, mixing constantly, so that +there will be no lumps left undissolved. Bring to the boiling point, +and boil for ten minutes. Strain, and serve at once. A teaspoonful +of sweetened whipped cream added to each cup adds perceptibly to the +acceptability. Sweeten to taste. + + +CHOCOLATE + + 2 cupfuls of milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate. + +Grate enough unsweetened chocolate to make two tablespoonfuls, mix +with a little boiling water, and melt slowly over a low fire, then add +the milk, pouring carefully, stirring while pouring. Allow this to +boil for ten minutes and strain. Whipped cream added to each serving +is delightful, although it makes the drink a bit too rich for most +people. It would be unadvisable for persons given to stoutness to drink +chocolate. + + +CHOCOLATE + +(Recipe of 1845) + + 1 inch of a cake of chocolate, + 1 quart of boiling water, + Milk. + +Shave the chocolate fine, pour on the boiling water; boil for twenty +minutes, add milk to please and boil up again. Serve. + + +CHOCOLATE (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 1 cake of French chocolate, + 1 quart of milk. + +Grate the chocolate; mix with a little hot water, and stir into the +milk which should have reached the simmering stage. Stir until the +mixture boils; allow it to boil up once, and serve immediately. This +may be sweetened after serving or allow two tablespoonfuls of sugar to +the full amount. Add whipped cream if desired. + + +COCOA (CRÉOLE RECIPE) + + 4 tablespoonfuls of cocoa, + 1 quart of milk. + +Put the milk in a double boiler; moisten the cocoa with a little milk, +and pour into the milk as it begins to boil, stirring constantly. Let +it boil up once, only, and serve. Whipped cream may be used with it if +desired. + + +COCOA (OLD NEW ENGLAND RECIPE) + + 2 tablespoonfuls of cocoa, + 1 quart of water, + 1½ cupfuls of milk. + +Mix the cocoa with a little water and pour into the full amount of +water and allow to boil for a half hour, skim, add the milk and allow +it to boil up again. Serve. + + + + + IX—DRINKS FOR INVALIDS AND SMALL CHILDREN + + +I shall try to give a few helpful suggestions in this chapter for the +making of drinks which are both appetizing and nutritious. Some are +offered because of their nutritive value and some, like treacle, posset +and Iceland moss, because they are a real aid in helping to ward off +colds and some because they please the palate of the invalid or the +child whose appetite must be catered to. + + +APPLE WATER + + 2 large tart apples, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + 1 pint of boiling water, + Lemon peel, + Sugar. + +Peel, core and slice the apples; place them in a deep bowl with the +lemon juice, one strip of rind and as much sugar as the nurse or mother +thinks wise, and cover with the boiling water, allowing this to stand +covered tightly until cold. Strain, chill and serve in small glasses. +Be sure to serve on a plate on which a fresh doylie is placed. + + +APPLE TEA (FROM ROAST APPLES) + +(Very old recipe) + + 3 apples, + Pint of water. + +Roast sour apples until tender, pour boiling water over them and let +them stand until cold.

Pour +a half pint of boiled milk over it, pouring slowly and stirring +constantly. Bring to the boiling point and boil for six minutes. +(Arrowroot _must_ be well boiled). Strain, add the sugar and serve. + +I want to impress upon my readers the necessity of serving any drink +intended for an invalid in the most attractive manner possible. + + +ARROWROOT WITH WATER + + ½ pint of water, + 1 dessertspoonful of arrowroot, + 1 teaspoonful of sugar, + 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice. + +Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water, making it perfectly smooth. +Pour the boiling water over this slowly, stirring well; cook until +boiling, and continue for six minutes. Strain, add sugar and lemon +juice. Serve in an attractive glass on a pretty plate on which a +spotless doylie is laid. + + +BARLEY WATER + +Many cannot take milk plain, but the addition of barley water adds to +its digestibility. + + 2 ounces of pearl barley, + 1 pint of water, + Sugar. + +Pour the water over the barley and boil slowly until there is a third +less liquid. Strain and add sugar and serve. Barley water may be served +alone or with milk. It is more palatable with milk. + + +BARLEY WATER MADE FROM BARLEY FLOUR + + 1 teaspoonful of barley flour, + ½ pint of water, + 1 pinch of salt. + +Mix the barley flour with a little cold water, making a smooth paste; +pour the rest of the water on slowly, mixing and stirring constantly. +Boil for a half hour, boiling fast all the time. Strain and add to +milk, or add a little sugar, or if it is for an infant, it may be given +from a nursing bottle without the sugar, between feedings, especially +if the child is not getting sufficient nourishment from its own food. + + +BLACK CURRANT TEA + +It is said that this tea is excellent to alleviate hoarseness, and is a +most appetizing beverage. + + 1 dessertspoonful of black currant jam, + ½ pint of water, + 1 teaspoonful of sugar. + +Put jam, sugar and water in an enamel dish and bring to the boiling +point; simmer for five or six minutes. Strain and add lemon juice and +serve hot; or chill and add a little cracked ice and serve very cold. + + +BRAN TEA + + 2 tablespoonfuls of bran, + 1 pint of water, + ½ ounce of gum arabic, + 1 tablespoonful of honey. + +Mix water and bran and boil for fifteen minutes. Add gum arabic and +honey, stir until dissolved. Strain through a cloth and serve. This, +too, may be served hot or cold. + + +EGG WHITE AND MILK (ENGLISH RECIPE) + + 1 egg white, + 1 cupful of milk, + Vanilla. + +Boil the milk and let it cool.

Strain and serve very hot. + + +CREAM AND CARBONATED WATER + + ½ cupful of cream, + Carbonated water. + +There are times when a patient is not allowed milk, but cream is +permissible; under those conditions, this will be found useful as well +as nutritious. + +Pour the cream in a tumbler or straight-sided, tall glass; fill the +glass with carbonated water, using a syphon. + + +MILK AND CARBONATED WATER + + ½ cupful of carbonated water, + ¾ cupful of milk. + +It is a matter of taste just what carbonated water one uses: whether +seltzer, vichy or club soda; whether poured from a bottle or a syphon. +Put the milk in a tall glass and fill with the carbonated water. + + +EGG WHITE, LEMON AND CARBONATED WATER + + 1 egg white, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + Carbonated water. + +Beat the white of the egg until stiff, put it in a tall glass and add +the lemon juice; fill the glass with the carbonated water. + + +EGG YOLK, LEMON JUICE AND CARBONATED WATER + + 1 egg yolk, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + Carbonated water. + +Beat the yolk until lemon colored, pour into a tumbler and stir in the +lemon juice. Fill the glass with the carbonated water. + + +EGG WHITE AND ORANGE JUICE + + 1 egg white, + 1 cupful of orange juice. + +Extract the juice from enough oranges (two Florida oranges will usually +prove sufficient); strain into a tall glass; whip the egg white until +stiff, and stir it into the orange juice. + +If the patient does not like the taste of the egg white, it were well +to beat the white until stiff, put it in a cocktail shaker with the +orange juice, shake well for a minute or two and strain into a glass. +It will be so blended that it will be very difficult to taste anything +excepting the orange juice. + + +EGG WHITE, ORANGE JUICE AND CARBONATED WATER + + 1 egg white, + 1 orange, + Carbonated water. + +Beat the white until stiff; extract the juice from the orange, stir +the egg in carefully and pour into a tall glass. Fill the glass with +carbonated water. + + +EGG WHITE, ORANGE JUICE AND DISTILLED WATER + + 1 egg white, + 1 tablespoonful of orange juice, + 2 tablespoonfuls of distilled water. + +If a baby is very ill and cannot retain food, this will tide it over +until a physician can be called and prescribe. + +Beat the egg white until stiff, stir in the orange juice and then the +water. Feed with a spoon. + + +FLAXSEED TEA + + 2 tablespoonfuls of whole flaxseed, + 1 pint of water, + 1 lemon, + 2 tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar. + +Mix the flaxseed with a little water, adding the remainder of the pint +and boil for fifteen minutes. Slice a lemon in a deep bowl and add two +tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar. Strain the flaxseed tea boiling +hot, over this, stir and allow to stand until cold. Strain again and +use in tablespoonful doses. This is used for cold or to relieve an +irritated throat. + + +GRUEL (ENGLISH RECIPE) + + ½ pint of milk or water, + 1 dessertspoonful of fine oatmeal (ground, not rolled), + Salt or sugar. + +Mix the oatmeal with a little cold water in an enameled saucepan; add +the milk or water boiling hot, and boil for ten minutes, stirring +constantly. Strain, pressing as much of the oatmeal through the sieve +as possible. Add either salt or sugar as the patient desires. As gruel +induces perspiration it is best to take it after one is in bed. This is +most satisfactory as an aid in breaking up a cold. + + +INDIAN MEAL GRUEL (YELLOW CORN MEAL) + + 2 teaspoonfuls of ground Indian corn meal, + ½ pint of water, + Sugar, + Nutmeg, + Cream. + +Mix the corn meal with enough cold water to make a smooth paste; add a +pint of water, bring to the boiling point and boil slowly for one half +hour,—never less; strain, add a little salt, or a little sugar if the +patient does not like the salt. If sugar is used add a sprinkling of +grated nutmeg, if salt is preferred, add two tablespoonfuls of cream; +stir and serve at once. + + +OATMEAL GRUEL + + 4 tablespoonfuls of oatmeal (ground, not rolled), + 3 pints of water, + ½ cupful of raisins, + Salt, + Sugar. + +Wet the oatmeal with a little cold water, pour over it three pints of +boiling water, and boil gently for two hours. Strain, add a sprinkle +of salt and enough sugar to satisfy the patient. A very little mace or +nutmeg may be added, and, if one wishes, a half cupful of raisins may +be put in as soon as the boiling point is reached. If raisins are used +it is not at all necessary to use sugar, for there is plenty of sugar +in them to make the gruel most palatable. + + +RICE GRUEL + + 2 teaspoonfuls of ground rice, + ½ pint of water, + Salt, + Cream (if allowed). + +Blend the rice with a little cold water, add the half pint of boiling +water and boil for five minutes. Season with a little salt, and +if allowed add three tablespoonfuls of thick cream, or if milk is +preferred use that. + + +POTATO GRUEL (ENGLISH RECIPE) + + 2 large potatoes, + Milk. + +Steam two large mealy or floury potatoes, press through a fine sieve, +and add hot milk slowly, stirring and blending until the consistency of +thin cream. Salt to taste and serve. + + +CARROT GRUEL + + 2 large, or 4 small carrots, + Milk. + +Boil the carrots until very tender, press through a fine sieve and +add hot milk slowly, being sure to mix well and smoothly. When the +consistency of cream is reached, add a little salt and serve. + +An English physician recommends this as an aid in treating scurvy in +children. + + +IRISH OR ICELAND MOSS + + ½ ounce of Irish moss, + 1 pint of water, + Lemon juice, + Sugar. + +Wash the moss, put it in a covered dish and allow it to stand in enough +water to cover over night. Throw off this water and cover with a pint +of fresh water; simmer for one hour, strain, add a tablespoonful of +lemon juice and a little sugar, being sure that it is not too sweet. + +Irish moss is a sea weed and is rather rich in mucilage, iodine and +sulphur, and is given as an aid in treatment for colds, especially when +there is a cough. + + +HOME MADE KOUMISS + +(Recipe from an English Physician) + +Boil fresh milk, and when nearly cold put into quart bottles, leaving +room to shake. Add ½ ounce of crushed lump sugar, a very small piece +of compressed yeast—about one twenty-fourth of the ordinary yeast +cake—cork, tie down the cork unless a patent stopper is used; lay the +bottles on the side, and shake twice daily. If the weather is hot this +may be used on the fifth day, if cool, on the sixth, if very cold, on +the seventh. + + +LINSEED TEA + + 1 ounce of whole linseed, + 1 pint of water, + ½ ounce of liquorice, + ½ ounce of rock candy, + ½ lemon. + +Wash, the linseed and simmer with the lemon rind and water for, a half +hour. Take from the fire, add liquorice and rock candy and stir until +dissolved. Strain and add the lemon juice. Useful in treatment of colds. + + +PRUNE TEA + + 2 ounces of prunes, + 1 pint of boiling water, + 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice. + +Be sure to select California prunes, for then no sugar will be needed. + +Wash the prunes and put in a saucepan with the water; simmer for an +hour, cut the prunes while in the water, then strain through a fine +sieve, pressing some of the pulp through. Add the lemon juice and +serve to the patient in a wine glass. This is excellent in cases of +constipation. + + +RICE WATER + + 1 ounce of best Sea Island rice, + 1 quart of water, + Salt. + +There is no better rice grown than that which we get from the islands +which lie in the Atlantic off the state of South Carolina. This is +large full rice and is by far the most desirable for use for invalids +and children. + +Wash the rice in cold water, rubbing it well between the hands. Allow +water to run over it until the water runs clear. Throw the washed rice +in a quart of cold water, and cook rapidly until it boils hard. Then +cook slower over a lower fire until rather mushy. Two hours is not too +long for the boiling. Strain through a fine sieve. Add a little salt, +or if the patient greatly prefers, and sugar will not harm, sweeten +slightly. + +This is used in cases of dysentery with salt only, as a drink. + + +RICE MILK + + 1 ounce of rice (Sea Island), + 1 pint of milk, + Salt or sugar. + +Wash the rice as directed in the foregoing recipe, and put into a +saucepan with the milk. Boil for one hour. Add salt to taste or a very +little sugar. The salt is preferable. Do not strain this. + + +TOAST WATER + + 1 full sized crust of bread, + 1 pint of water. + +Select the crust of the bread, cut at least an inch thick; toast or dry +it until brown in the oven, being sure that it does not burn or scorch, +but is thoroughly brown. Put this in a deep bowl and pour one pint of +cold water over it, allowing it to stand for one hour. Strain and use. +One may season with a little salt or a sprinkling of celery salt. It +may be served either hot or cold. + + +TREACLE (MOLASSES) POSSET + +(English recipe) + + ½ pint of milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of molasses, + ½ lemon. + +Put the milk into a saucepan, and bring to the boiling point; add the +molasses and lemon juice. This will curdle. Strain through a fine +cloth. Use hot or cold. + + +THICK MILK + + ½ ounce of baked flour, + ½ pint of milk, + Sugar. + +Put a half ounce of flour in a dish and put into the oven, allowing it +to brown slightly. Blend it with the milk, stirring a few drops of milk +into the flour at a time, until all the milk is used. Boil for five +minutes, stirring constantly. Sweeten a trifle and use. + +This is given to patients at times when they are on a liquid diet and a +change is needed. A little nutmeg will again change the taste. + + +LEMON WHEY + + ½ pint of milk, + ½ lemon, + Sugar. + +Boil the milk and add the juice from a half lemon. It will, of course, +curdle. Strain through a fine cloth; sweeten slightly and use. + + +MILK WHEY + +(English recipe) + + 1 pint of sweet milk, + ½ pint of buttermilk. + +Bring the milk to the boiling point, add the buttermilk and boil for a +minute. Strain and use. + + +MEAT BROTHS AND TEAS + + +BEEF TEA OR BROTH + + ½ pound of beef, + ¼ teaspoonful of salt, + ½ pint of water. + +Select a piece of beef which has little or no fat, preferably from +the top round; remove any fats, and cut into strips, then cut across, +shredding the meat. Put the shredded meat, salt and _cold_ water in an +enamel saucepan and allow it to soak for fifteen minutes, then place +over a slow fire. Cook until the meat is white and the juice or broth a +deep red-brown. Strain through a fine strainer, pressing the beef hard. +Remove any particles of grease by drawing a piece of brown paper over +the top. Serve hot. Be sure to serve in an attractive cup on a doylie. +Please the eye and the appetite is more likely to be tempted. + + +BEEF TEA (MADE IN A JAR) + + 1 pound of top round, + 1 pint of cold water, + ½ teaspoonful of salt. + +Remove the fat, shred the meat finely and put into a glass jar. A two +quart glass can such as is used for preserving is desirable. Fasten the +cover, whether a screw-top or patent fastener, and place in a deep pan +of boiling water. Keep the water simmering for at least three hours. +Stir the beef occasionally. Strain and remove any fat by drawing a +paper over the top. Serve. + + +BEEF TEA (RAW BEEF) + + 2 ounces of top round, + 2 tablespoonfuls of cold water, + Pinch of salt. + +Cut all the fat and skin from the beef, and cut into shreds; place in +a glass dish with the water and salt, cover and place in a cold place +and allow to stand for two hours. Strain and press out all the juice +possible. Serve a teaspoonful or two at a time. This will not keep, so +only a very small amount should be made at a time. + + +BEEF EXTRACT (RAW) + + ½ pound of top round, + Salt. + +This extract is given when nourishment must be pushed and can only be +given in small quantities. It is invaluable in cases of rickets and +scurvy in children. + +There are small meat presses on the market, which are made for the +purpose of extracting the blood and may be purchased at any large +department store where there is a housekeeping department. + +Put the meat in a pan and sear it quickly; then cut into small pieces +and place in the meat press; by turning the screw-top extract the blood +or juice, and pour into a glass. After all the blood is extracted, salt +slightly and feed with a spoon. + + +BEEF TEA WITH EGG + + ¼ pint of beef tea, + 1 egg yolk, + Salt. + +Beat the egg yolk until a light yellow and stir into a half cupful of +hot beef tea. Add a trifle of salt if necessary. + + +BEEF TEA FOR CONVALESCENTS + + 1 pound of top round, + 1 pint of water, + 1 piece of carrot, + 1 piece of turnip, + 1 spray of parsley, + 1 tiny pinch of thyme, + Small slice of onion, + Salt. + +Remove all fat from the meat, cut the vegetables into tiny pieces, +shred the meat and put all in a glass jar with the herbs and salt. +Fasten the top and place in a deep pan nearly full of hot water and +cook slowly for three hours. Strain and remove any fat which may have +been left. + + +MUTTON TEA + + ½ pound of lean mutton, + ½ pint of water, + ¼ teaspoonful of salt. + +Select the juicy part of the neck, remove as much fat as possible, +cut into tiny pieces, put into a saucepan with cold water and salt. +Simmer gently until the meat turns white and the tea or broth a rich +red-brown. Strain, remove all fat by passing a paper over the top. If +it is not possible to remove the fat in this way, cool the broth and +remove the fat, then reheat. To reheat place the dish holding the broth +in a pan of hot water. Do not allow broths or teas to boil. + + +CHICKEN BROTH + + ½ chicken (small fowl is as desirable as a chicken), + 1 quart of water, + 1 tablespoonful of rice, + ½ teaspoonful of chopped parsley, + ½ teaspoonful of salt. + +Cut the chicken into small pieces, and break the bones. Put the meat +and bones into a saucepan with the cold water, salt and rice. (The rice +may be omitted if preferred.) Simmer for three hours, strain, sprinkle +with parsley and serve. + +This broth may be made leaving the rice out until cooked, then strain, +return to the saucepan, reheat to the boiling point, add the rice +and cook for twenty-five minutes. It depends entirely on whether the +patient may have the rice whole or cooked soft enough to pass through a +fine sieve. + + +MUTTON BROTH (WITH BARLEY) + + 1 pound of mutton (neck or breast), + 1 quart of water, + 1 tablespoonful of barley (pearl), + Salt, + Chopped parsley. + +Remove all fats possible and cut the mutton into small pieces. Put +into the saucepan with the _cold_ water and salt, bring to the boiling +point, skim, add the barley and simmer for three hours. Strain and +sprinkle with the chopped parsley. If this broth is intended for a +convalescent, it need not be strained; remove the meat and bones only, +leaving the well cooked barley. + + +OYSTER BROTH + + 6 selected oysters, + ½ cupful of milk or broth, + 1 tablespoonful of cream. + +Put the oysters, their liquor, and the milk or broth (preferably the +milk) in a saucepan, and bring to the boiling point. Simmer for _one +minute_, and strain. The oysters may be chopped finely and returned to +the broth or not, as liked. It would seem wise in most instances to +remove the beards and gristle first and chop only the soft parts. + + +CLAM BROTH + +Scrub the clams in cold water and place over a hot fire in a large +kettle and heat until the shells open. Place two thicknesses of cheese +cloth over a deep dish and strain. Season the broth and serve. + + +CLAM JUICE (COMMERCIAL) + +There is a clam juice on the market,—a “clam concentrate”—which makes a +satisfactory broth if it is not possible to obtain fresh clams. + + 1 teaspoonful of concentrated clam juice, + ⅓ cupful of boiling water, + Seasoning to suit. + +Put the concentrated juice in a cup and pour the boiling water over it, +stirring until well mixed. Season to taste. + +One may use milk if one wishes instead of water, or may use half water +and half milk. + + +COMMERCIAL BEEF TEA OR BROTH + +There are several manufacturers who put out concentrated beef extracts, +some in cubes, and some in a sort of paste form. If one uses the cubes, +one cube is used to each three-quarters of a cupful of boiling water. +Season with salt, or with salt and celery salt. + +If one wishes, a drop or two of onion juice may be added to this beef +tea, as well as salt and celery salt. + + + + + X—MISCELLANEOUS DRINKS + + +I shall give under this heading several drinks which do not seem to fit +in any other place. + + +GENERAL HARRISON’S EGG NOGG + + 1 egg, + ½ teaspoonful of sugar, + ¼ cupful of crushed ice, + ⅔ cupful of sweet cider. + +Place all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake well for two +minutes.

One candy +manufacturer in New York puts out an excellent article at a very +reasonable price. + +While one almost invariably sees pecan nuts used for topping sundaes, +it is not at all essential that they should be; walnuts, either +domestic or English, may be used with equal success. If obtainable, try +butternuts broken in pieces. + +One may use either the short-stemmed, wide-topped sherbet glasses or +the wide long stemmed champagne glasses for service. These are equally +attractive. + +Select small plates, place a doylie on each and place the glass on +that. Lay a small spoon on the plate. + +In most instances, a rounded spoonful of ice cream is placed in the +glass first, then the syrup or sauce is poured over that, and nuts, or +chopped fruits, or both are then added. + +One may use any flavor ice cream one desires, and because of this I +have given a number of recipes for ice creams, not only for making +sundaes because they, too, quench the thirst. + +There is one important thing to remember when making sundaes; they must +_never_ look mussy! Even though a number of different things are used +in the making, it is not at all necessary to use such haste that they +will not look appetizing. + +After the cream is in the glass, pour the syrup or sauce over +carefully, being sure not to drip it; add the next thing just as +carefully as the first, and if nuts are to top the dish, add only +enough to stay where they are meant to stay—_on the top_. If the nuts +fall to the service plate the whole service is spoiled in appearance. + +An attractive service makes for the success of the hostess. + + * * * * * + +Use vanilla ice cream as the foundation; + +Plain syrup, diced bananas, nuts. + +Plain syrup, marshmallow cream, chopped bananas, nuts. + +Caramel sauce, diced bananas, nuts. + +Caramel sauce, sliced bananas, marshmallow cream, nuts. + +Caramel sauce, sliced bananas, whipped cream, nuts. + +Caramel sauce, diced bananas, whipped cream, chopped cherries. + +For a Banana Split use, + +1 peeled banana cut in half lengthwise; lay side by side on plate, put +one spoonful of vanilla ice cream on one end, strawberry ice cream on +the other; cover with any fresh fruit in season, crushed and mixed +with plain syrup.

add the milk and +cook directly over the fire until it is well blended; add the sugar and +cook slowly until smooth. Keep hot in the double boiler or in a chafing +dish until ready to serve. + +This should be the consistency to pour readily. + + +MARSHMALLOW SAUCE + + ¾ cupful of sugar, + ¼ cupful of milk, + ½ pound of marshmallows, + 2 tablespoonfuls of water. + +Boil the sugar and milk in a double boiler for about six or seven +minutes, until it spins a thread. Allow this to become luke warm, then +beat until thick and white. Put the double boiler back on the fire and +stir until thin enough to pour. Melt the marshmallows and water, pour +the syrup over them, beating constantly. Keep warm until ready to +serve. + + +MARSHMALLOW SAUCE NO. 2 + + ½ pound of marshmallows, + 1 cupful of sugar, + ⅓ cupful of boiling water, + 1 egg white, + ¾ cupful of Maraschino cherries. + +Into the upper part of the double boiler turn half a pound of +marshmallows and melt them slowly until they will pour readily. +Dissolve one cupful of sugar in one-third of a cupful of boiling water +and cook without stirring (after it begins to bubble hard) for eight +minutes. Pour gently on to the stiffly whipped white of one egg and +beat steadily until thick and creamy. Add the marshmallow syrup and a +small cupful of drained and chopped Maraschino cherries. + + +MARSHMALLOW SAUCE WITH SYRUP + + ½ pound of marshmallows, + 1 cupful of corn syrup, + ¼ cupful of hot water, + 1 egg white, + Chopped cherries. + +Melt the marshmallows in a double boiler. Boil the syrup and water +together until bubbling hot, then pour slowly on the stiffly +beaten white of the egg. Beat until creamy and thick, then add the +marshmallows. Chop a tablespoonful of candied Maraschino cherries and +add to the sauce. + + +MAPLE FUDGE SAUCE + + 1 pound of maple sugar, + 1½ pints of rich milk, + 1 tablespoonful of butter, + A pinch of soda. + +Cook the maple sugar (which should have been grated), milk and soda +until it boils; continue to boil for five minutes, stir in the butter +and keep hot over boiling water. A double boiler or a chafing dish +would be the best means of doing so. + + +HOT MAPLE SAUCE + + 1 cupful of thick maple syrup, + ⅓ cupful of cream, + Chopped nuts. + +Butter the inside of a granite saucepan and add a cupful of thick maple +syrup and one-third of a cupful of cream. Then boil until the syrup +forms a soft ball when tested in cold water. Pour while hot, over each +portion of cream and sprinkle thickly with chopped nut meats. + + +BERKSHIRE HOT MAPLE SAUCE + + 1 cupful of maple syrup, + 1 tablespoonful of butter, + ¾ cupful of top milk. + +Put the butter in a saucepan and when melted stir in the maple syrup. +Then when hot add the top milk slowly; boil until it begins to thicken +slightly, then cool partially and serve. + + +PRUNE SAUCE + + 1 cupful of well cooked prunes, + 4 or 5 candied green-gage plums, + 6 candied cherries, + 1 orange, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + ⅓ cupful of sugar, + ½ cupful of chopped nut meats. + +Cut the prunes in small pieces; peel the orange, separate into sections +and remove the membrane; then cut into pieces; chop the plums and +cherries and mix the fruit. Add lemon juice and sugar, stir and allow +to stand for a half hour. Place a generous spoonful on each serving of +cream; top with a spoonful of nuts. + + +HONEY SAUCE + + 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, + 1 tablespoonful of cornstarch, + ½ cupful of honey, + ½ cupful of hot water. + +Melt the butter and blend with the cornstarch. Add honey and hot water. +Cook until it thickens and serve hot. + + +COFFEE SAUCE WITH SYRUP + + 1 cupful of strong coffee, + 1 cupful of corn syrup, + 2 egg yolks, + 1 cupful of cream, sweetened. + +Heat the coffee until the boiling point is reached; add the egg yolks +beaten light, then the syrup; cook until it begins to thicken but do +not allow it to boil. Take from the fire, add the cream, whipped stiff, +and a few drops of vanilla. + + +COFFEE SAUCE WITH SUGAR + + 2 eggs, + ¼ cupful of sugar, + 1 cupful of strong coffee, + 1 cupful of whipped cream, + Sugar (powdered.) + +Beat the yolks of the eggs with one-fourth cupful of sugar. Add one +cupful of strong coffee (strained) and cook slowly over hot water, +stirring constantly until well thickened. Do not boil. Remove from the +fire and, when cold, mix 1 cupful of sweetened whipped cream which has +been flavored with a few drops of vanilla extract. + + +CHOCOLATE SAUCE WITH SYRUP + + 1 cupful of syrup, + 1½ squares of chocolate, + ⅓ cupful of water, + ¼ teaspoonful of vanilla. + +Melt the chocolate and pour on gradually the hot syrup, prepared by +adding water to corn syrup and boiling for three minutes. Cool slightly +and flavor with vanilla. + + +CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SAUCE + + 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, + 2 cupfuls of dark brown sugar, + 1 tablespoonful of butter, + ¾ cupful of rich top milk or cream, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla extract. + +If an agate boiler is used, and a very little butter heated in it, and +allowed to run over the surface used, the sauce will not stick to the +pan. + +Shave the chocolate and melt in the buttered upper part of the double +boiler, and add the sugar gradually; mix well, and add the butter; cook +until well blended and pour in the top milk or cream slowly. Cook over +a very low fire until it forms a soft ball if tried in cold water. Take +from the fire, add the vanilla, and use over vanilla ice cream. + +If it is not to be used at once keep it hot in the double boiler. + + +FRUIT SAUCE + + ½ cupful of dates, + ½ cupful of Maraschino cherries, + ½ cupful of figs, + ½ cupful of chopped almonds, + ½ cupful of honey, + ½ cupful of syrup from the cherries. + +Remove the pits from the dates and cut into small pieces, chop the +cherries, cut the figs into small pieces and chop (or break into +pieces) the nuts. Mix, and pour the syrup of the cherries and the honey +over the mixture, allowing to stand until thoroughly blended. Keep near +the ice if possible. + + +STRAWBERRY SAUCE + + 1 quart of berries, + 1 cupful of powdered sugar. + +Wash and hull the berries, mash with a silver fork, add the sugar, stir +well, and allow to stand for two hours in a cold place. + + +ORANGE SAUCE + + 3 oranges, + 2 egg whites, + 1 cupful of powdered sugar. + +Grate the rind of half an orange and add to it the juice of three +oranges. Whip the whites of the eggs until dry and stiff, add the sugar +and then the orange juice. + +This, heaped on ice cream, is as delightful as it is unusual. + + +TUTTI FRUTTI SAUCE + + ½ cupful of chopped candied cherries, + ½ cupful of chopped seeded raisins, + ½ cupful of chopped figs, + ½ cupful of dates, + Mix with maple syrup. + +Chop the different fruits and mix enough maple syrup to blend but not +enough to make a great deal of liquid. + + + CANNED, PRESERVED AND DRIED CHERRIES + + (For use in making sundaes) + +There may be several reasons why one prefers to use home-canned or +dried cherries instead of using those commercially prepared. To can +them at home, the first thing to remember is; the fruit should be well +ripened and the cherries will be far better if it is possible to obtain +them directly from the trees. If one is fortunate enough to be able to +get them from the trees, see that they hang at least four days after +they are considered ripe, for they will be larger, riper and sweeter. + +Another thing to bear in mind, is that cherries should be simmered and +never boiled. + +It is quite possible to use any canned cherries one may have, or may +purchase, in making sundaes, or those put up commercially for this +purpose alone. + + +CANNED CHERRIES + +The amount of fruit depends upon the desire of the hostess, for she may +have a few she wishes to can, or a great many; the process is the same. + + Cherries, + 2 cupfuls of water, + 1 cupful of sugar. + +Wash and pit the cherries, put them in sterilized jars, adjust the +rubbers (new ones), and pour over the boiling syrup, made of the sugar +and water boiled. Pour in enough syrup to nearly overflow. Partially +seal the jar and place in a sterilizer, either commercial or home-made, +and nearly cover with boiling water. It has been found satisfactory by +the writer to allow the water to reach just _below_ the top. Sterilize +for sixteen minutes. + + +CANNED CHERRIES WITHOUT SYRUP + +If one cares to can the cherries without using syrup, pour plain +boiling water over the cherries in the jars, in place of the syrup and +sterilize for a half hour. After sterilization, complete the seal, +invert to test for leakage, allow to cool, wrap in dark paper and store. + + +PRESERVED CHERRIES + +Remove the pits from the largest cherries obtainable; allow a pound of +sugar and one cupful of water to each pound of fruit. Melt the sugar +in the water, let it come to a boil and skim thoroughly. Then add the +cherries and allow them to simmer for twenty minutes. Take out with a +skimmer, pack into sterilized hot jars and boil down the syrup until +quite thick. Fill the jars to overflowing and seal air-tight, using new +rubbers and hot covers. + + +PRESERVES AND SHRUB FROM THE SAME CHERRIES + +Stone the cherries and cover with vinegar. Stand in a cool place for +twenty-four hours and drain off the fruit juice and the vinegar. To +each pint of juice add a scant pound of sugar, simmer for twenty-five +minutes and bottle air-tight. Put the drained cherries in a stone crock +with alternate layers of granulated sugar, allowing three-quarters of a +pound of sugar for each pint of fruit. Keep the crock covered and in a +cool place. Every eighteen hours stir the fruit and sugar carefully for +a period of eight days. The uncooked preserves can be put in small jars +and paraffined, but they need not be sealed air-tight. + + +MOCK MARASCHINO CHERRIES + +Select the largest sized cherries one can find and remove the pits, +saving all the juice. Measure fruit and juice and allow an equal +amount of sugar. Drain the cherries and set on the ice. Put the juice +and sugar into a preserving kettle, cook to a thick syrup and add the +cherries. Simmer for fifteen minutes. Drain off half the cherry syrup, +add an equal amount of white grape juice, bring quickly to the boil and +seal as for preserved fruit. + + +DRIED CHERRIES + +The larger the cherry the more satisfactory if dried to use for sundaes. + +Wash, stem and pit the cherries; spread in thin layers on a drying +tray. (Commercial driers are inexpensive and very satisfactory.) Dry +from two to four hours, starting at 110 degrees F. Condition them by +placing in composition or paper boxes and pouring them from box to box +every day for four days. This is to insure even drying. If too moist, +return to the drier for a short time, and again pour into the boxes, +and again “condition” them. + + + + + XIII—ICE CREAMS, SORBETS, SHERBETS, WATER ICES AND GRANITS + + +Giving recipes for ice creams and the like in a book given to telling +of beverages would seem a queer conceit, were it not for the fact +that ice creams, sherbets and water ices are often used to quench the +thirst; this is my reason and my only excuse, should an excuse be +needed. + + +VANILLA ICE CREAM + + 1 quart of cream, + ¾ cupful of honey, + 1 cupful of milk, + 1 tablespoonful of vanilla extract. + +Heat the milk, add the honey, and stir until melted and thoroughly +mixed. Allow to cool somewhat; add the cream, vanilla and a pinch of +salt (a very small pinch), and freeze. + + +VANILLA ICE CREAM (French) + + 2 cupfuls of scalded milk, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 3 eggs, + ⅛ teaspoonful of salt, + 1 quart of thin cream, + 2 tablespoonfuls of vanilla. + +Make a custard of the first four ingredients. Strain and cool the +custard and add to it the cream and vanilla. Freeze until firm, then +pack in ice and salt. + + +INEXPENSIVE ICE CREAM + + 1¼ cupfuls of sugar, + 1 quart of milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, + 3 eggs, + Desired extract and a pinch of salt. + +Heat the milk, add the syrup and the cornstarch, which should have been +moistened with a little cold milk; cook until it begins to thicken, add +a pinch of salt and the beaten eggs. Boil, strain, cool and freeze. + +With this as a foundation one may add any flavoring desired, or any +crushed fruit. Coffee or chocolate may also be used. Very strong coffee +is needed, but the amount of milk should be reduced in proportion. + + +PISTACHIO ICE CREAM + + 2 cupfuls of scalded milk, + 1 tablespoonful of flour, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 egg, + ⅛ teaspoonful of salt, + 1 quart thin cream, + 1 tablespoonful of vanilla extract, + 1 teaspoonful of almond extract. + +Mix flour, sugar and milk, add egg, slightly beaten, and milk +gradually. Cook until it has the consistency of a soft custard. Let +this custard cool and add cream and flavoring, color with leaf green; +strain and freeze. + + +ORANGE ICE CREAM + + 2 cupfuls of sugar, + 1 cupful of water, + 2 cupfuls of orange juice, + ¼ cupful of candied orange peel, + 1 cupful of cream, + 2 egg yolks, + 1 cupful of double cream. + +Boil the water and sugar eight minutes. Add the orange juice. Make a +custard of the cream and egg yolks. Cool and add to the first mixture +with the heavy cream beaten stiff. Freeze. When nearly frozen add the +orange peel. The dish is given a “different” look if it is served with +candied orange peel. + + +MARSHMALLOW ICE CREAM + + 1½ cupfuls of milk, + ½ cupful of heavy cream, + ⅓ cupful of sugar, + 1 junket tablet, + 1 tablespoonful cold water, + 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of marshmallow cream, + 1 tablespoonful of vanilla. + +Put milk, cream and sugar into the can of freezer. Set in hot water +until luke warm, add junket tablet dissolved in cold water, and allow +to stand until firm. Add vanilla and marshmallow cream, mix thoroughly +and freeze, using three parts ice to one part salt. + + +FROZEN PUDDING + + 1 pint of milk, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 3 eggs, + 1 teaspoonful of cornstarch, + ⅛ teaspoonful of salt, + 1 pint thin cream, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla, + 1 cupful of diced marshmallows, + 1 cupful of thinly sliced peaches, + 1 cupful of shredded pineapple, + 1 cupful crystallized cherries. + +Beat the yolks of the eggs until very light, add sugar, cornstarch and +salt. Beat into this the scalded milk, place in a double boiler and +cook until it will coat the spoon. Remove from the fire and when cold +add the cream, vanilla and stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Pour into +a freezer, add the marshmallows and fruit and freeze until firm, then +pack and allow to stand for several hours. + + +COCOANUT ICE CREAM + + 4 cupfuls of milk, + 2½ tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, + 2 eggs, + ¾ cupfuls of honey, + 1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract, + 1 cupful of chopped fresh cocoanut or shredded cocoanut, + Preserved cherries, + Milk or water. + +Heat the milk in a double boiler. Blend the cornstarch with a little +milk or water and add to the hot milk and stir until it begins to +thicken. Add the beaten eggs and honey, cook for a minute or two; add +vanilla and cocoanut. Freeze, serve in attractive tall stemmed goblets; +top with cocoanut and cherries. + + +ROSE ICE CREAM (with condensed milk) + + 2 cans of condensed milk, + 3½ cupfuls of water, + 2 teaspoonfuls of rose extract, + 3 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, + ¼ cupful of milk, or water, + 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, + 1 teaspoonful of orange extract, + Red vegetable coloring. + +Mix one can of condensed milk with two cupfuls of water; add the rose +extract and enough red vegetable coloring to make the color desired. +Strain and freeze. + +Boil the remaining water (1½ cupfuls) and stir in the other can of +condensed milk. Moisten the cornstarch with a little milk or water, +blend with the milk and water, stirring constantly for five or six +minutes. Allow to cool, add flavoring, strain and freeze. Place these +creams in separate layers in a wet mold, place the cover on securely, +pack and freeze. This should stand at least two hours. + + +PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM + + 1½ cupfuls of hot milk, + 2 eggs, + ½ cupful of honey, + 2 cupfuls of shredded pineapple, + 1 cupful of cream. + +Beat the eggs, mix with the milk and honey; cook until smooth, stirring +constantly. Allow to cool, add cream and freeze. When serving this +cream, a generous spoonful of sweetened whipped cream is a delightful +addition. + + +STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM + +This is not difficult to make and approaches the flavor of the fresh +fruit more nearly than most creams in which fresh strawberries are used. + + ½ pint of thick cream, + 1 pint of milk, + 2 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, + 2 eggs, + 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla, + 1 cupful of strawberry jam, + Small pinch of salt. + +Make a boiled custard of the milk, cornstarch, salt and the beaten +eggs. Add the vanilla, cool and fold in a half pint of cream which has +been whipped until stiff. Put in freezer and freeze slowly for five or +six minutes; open the freezer and stir in a full cupful of strawberry +jam. Re-cover and continue to freeze until firm. + + +GREEN TEA ICE CREAM + + 1 pint of milk, + 1 tablespoonful of green tea, + 1 pint of cream, + ¾ cupful of sugar, + 3 eggs, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla. + +Pour one pint of boiling milk over one tablespoonful of green tea, and +allow to stand on the back of the range or on an asbestos mat over +a low gas flame for five minutes; strain through a double thickness +of fine cheesecloth. To this add the cream, beaten eggs, sugar and +vanilla, and stir until it thickens. Add a little green vegetable +color. Place in a cold dish and allow to cool. Freeze, repack, and +allow to stand until ready for use. + + +EASY PEACH ICE CREAM + + 1 pint of peach pulp and the juice, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 quart of cream. + +Crush the peaches, using enough to make a pint of pulp. Save all the +juice. Add the sugar to the juice and pulp; then add the cream, whipped +as stiff as possible. Blend and freeze. + + + SOME UNUSUAL FROZEN DAINTIES + + +COFFEE PARFAIT + + 1 pint of thick cream, + 1½ cupfuls of confectioner’s sugar, + ½ cupful of strong coffee, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla, + ½ teaspoonful of gelatine, + Milk. + +Dissolve the gelatine in two tablespoonfuls of milk, and pour the hot +coffee over, stirring well; add sugar and vanilla. Fold in the cream, +whipped stiff, pour into the freezer, pack in ice and salt and allow to +stand for at least four hours. + +Serve in attractive tall glasses, topped with a generous spoonful of +sweetened whipped cream. + + +APRICOT PARFAIT + + 1½ cupfuls of crushed apricots (canned or fresh), + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + ¾ cupful of sugar, + 1 teaspoonful of gelatine, + 2 eggs, + 1 cupful of thick cream. + +Mash the fruit and press through a fine sieve, add the lemon juice and +sugar and heat until it reaches the boiling point, stirring constantly; +beat the yolks of the eggs until very light and add slowly to the fruit +mixture while hot; return to the fire and cook until a custard-like +consistency. Dissolve the gelatine in a very little water and add +to the fruit and eggs; allow to cool; chill; beat the whites of the +eggs until stiff, and the cream until firm, and add both to the fruit +mixture. + +Pour into a mold, pack in ice and salt and allow to stand for several +hours; serve in tall narrow glasses. + + +CHERRY PARFAIT + + 1 cupful of thick cream, + ⅔ cupful of sugar, + ⅓ cupful of water, + 2 egg whites, + 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, + ¾ cupful of marshmallows, + 1¼ cupfuls of stoned cherries (canned red cherries may be used), + 1 cupful of cherry juice, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. + +Cut the marshmallows into very small pieces, and cut the cherries in +halves; combine these with the cherry juice and allow to stand for two +hours. + +Boil the sugar and water until it will “spin a thread” and pour slowly +over the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, beating constantly. Allow +it to become chilled, and stir in the stiffly whipped cream. Soak the +gelatine in a little water and melt over hot water. Strain into the +fruit mixture, beating briskly, until well blended; allow this to cool +and when it begins to thicken, beat in the whipped cream. Pour into a +wet mold, pack in ice, and salt, and allow to stand for three hours or +more. Serve in parfait glasses, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. + + +GRAPE AND PINEAPPLE PARFAIT + + 2 cupfuls of milk, + 2 egg whites, + 1 cupful of sugar, + ½ cupful of chopped nut meats, + ¼ teaspoonful of powdered nutmeg, + 4 cupfuls of pineapple juice, + Preserved grapes, + Whipped cream, + Rose extract, + Crystallized mint. + +The foundation of this delightful parfait is made in the following +manner: Scald the two cupfuls of milk and add the beaten egg whites; +stir in the sugar and chopped nuts. Cook until thick, add the nutmeg; +cool and add the pineapple juice and freeze. + +Put a spoonful of frozen mixture in the bottom of a tall glass, then a +spoonful of preserved grapes, and fill the glass with the cream. Top +with whipped cream which has been sweetened and flavored with rose. A +crystallized mint adds to the attractiveness of this unusual parfait. + + +RASPBERRY PARFAIT + + 1 pint of cream, + 1 pint of raspberries, + Sugar. + +Whip a pint of cream until very stiff, and sweeten with powdered +sugar slightly. Cook the raspberries until broken, which should not +take more than five or six minutes; press out all the juice and pulp +possible, and reboil with three-fourths as much sugar as juice. Allow +this to cool. Spread whipped cream in a mold, and pour some of the +raspberry syrup over, and add more cream, and so fill the mold. Unless +one prefers, then the syrup and whipped cream may be lightly mixed +before packing in the mold. Pack in ice and salt and allow to stand for +several hours. + + +MAPLE BISQUE + + 2 eggs, + ½ pint of cream, + ½ cupful of maple syrup, + Vanilla. + +Beat the yolks of the eggs until very light, add the maple syrup +slowly, and heat over a slow fire, stirring constantly until it reaches +the boiling point. Boil for one minute only; remove from the fire, +strain and cool. + +Beat the cream until firm and add to the stiffly beaten whites of the +eggs. Pour the syrup mixture over this slowly, beating constantly; add +the vanilla. Pour into a mold, pack and freeze. + + +PEACH MELBA + + 1 pint of heavy cream, + 1 pint of milk, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, + ½ teaspoonful of vanilla, + 1 can of large peaches or ½ dozen selected peaches. + +Heat the milk and sugar, until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved; +dissolve gelatine in a little cold milk and add to the heated milk and +sugar. + +Allow this to cool, add the cream whipped stiffly, flavor and pour into +the freezer. Freeze until the crank turns very hard; remove the dasher, +repack and allow to stand for two hours. + +When ready to serve, place a half peach on the bottom of a long stemmed +glass, fill with the cream, put the other half of the peach on top and +top with raspberry syrup, then the whipped cream. + + +SAUCE.—To one cupful of raspberry jam add one cupful of boiling water +sweetened a bit; boil for five minutes, strain, chill and use. + + +PEACH DELIGHT + + 2 cupfuls of water, + ¾ cupful of honey, + 1 teaspoonful of gelatine, + 1 cupful of peach pulp, + 1 lemon, + 1 orange, + 1 cupful of cream, whipped. + +Bring the water and honey to the boiling point and continue to cook +for twenty minutes. Add the gelatine which should have been soaked and +dissolved in a little cold water; strain and allow to cool. + +When cold add the peach pulp, orange pulp, orange juice and the juice +of half a lemon. Turn into a freezer and freeze slowly. Serve in +attractive glasses, topped with whipped cream. + + +FROZEN PEACHES + + 4 cupfuls of mashed peaches, + 1½ cupfuls of sugar, + 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice. + +Wipe the peaches with a damp cloth; pare and put the skins and one +peach pit in two cupfuls of cold water and allow to boil for twenty +minutes; strain through a sieve, pressing out all the juice; add the +sugar, boil until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved and set aside to +cool. + +When cold add the mashed peaches and the lemon juice and freeze. + +If one wishes, a spoonful of whipped cream added to each serving adds +perceptibly to this dainty. + + +CRUSHED PEACHES + + Peaches, + Sugar, + Cream. + +The housekeeper often finds that peaches are too ripe to slice and +use with cream; in which case it is wise and economical to skin them, +remove the stones and mash through a coarse sieve, adding sugar, honey +or syrup to taste. If the peaches are the kind which have little +flavor, a little lemon juice is desirable. Serve in low stemmed sherbet +glasses, topped with whipped cream, on which a candied cherry may be +placed. + + +FROSTED BANANA CREAM + + Bananas, + Sugar, + Lemon juice. + +Select only very ripe bananas; mash to a paste, sweeten with powdered +sugar and flavor with a few drops of lemon juice. Press through a sieve +and to each cupful of banana add a half cupful of whipped cream. Mix +and serve in attractive glasses, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. + + + SORBETS, SHERBETS, ICES, GRANITS + +The difference in sorbets, sherbets, ices and granits is slight, still +each fills its own particular purpose and place. Sorbets are supposed +to be served after the meat course, and while the same ingredients are +used they are not frozen as long or as smooth as sherbets. Sherbets +are smoother and firmer, and may well take the place of ice cream as a +dessert. Water ices are made the same as sherbets, leaving out the egg +whites. Granits are water ices frozen slightly; in fact so they will +pour, and may be used as a drink. + + +BLACKBERRY SORBET + + 2 cupfuls of sugar syrup, + 3 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + 1 cupful of rich milk, + 2 quarts of blackberries, + 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, + 2 egg whites. + +Press the berries through a sieve fine enough to keep the seeds from +passing through, but pass the pulp through. Add the syrup and lemon +juice. Dissolve the gelatine in a little water, and add to the berry +juice and milk. Pour this mixture into the freezer and turn until +it begins to thicken. Add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and +continue to freeze until fluffy, but not so smooth as for sherbet. This +is a fine distinction, but still it is considered worth differentiation. + +When this “fluffy” stage is reached remove the dasher, repack and allow +to stand for about two hours. + + +PLUM SHERBET + +While any of these recipes may be made into either sherbet or sorbet, I +will give from now on only the sherbet recipes. + + 1 quart of ripe plums (preferably red) + 2 cupfuls of sugar syrup, + 2 egg whites. + +Select only very ripe plums; wash, remove pits, and press through a +sieve. There should be a pint of this pulp and juice. Add syrup, freeze +until well thickened, add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, and +continue to turn until frozen smooth and as hard as this sort of thing +can well be frozen. + + +CRANBERRY SHERBET + + 1 quart of cranberries, + 1 quart of water, + 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, + 1½ cupfuls of syrup, + 1 egg white. + +Cook the cranberries in water for ten minutes. Press through a fine +sieve, return to the saucepan and add the syrup, cook for five minutes, +turn into the freezer, and when partly frozen, stir in the stiffly +beaten white of an egg (use two egg whites if eggs are plentiful), and +finish freezing. + + +GRAPEFRUIT SHERBET + + 2 cupfuls of water, + 2 cupfuls of grapefruit juice, + 1½ cupfuls of sugar, + 1 teaspoonful of gelatine, + ½ cupful of white grape juice, + 1 egg white, + 2 tablespoonfuls of chopped cherries. + +Boil the water and sugar together for ten minutes; soften the gelatine +with a little water and stir into this syrup. Cool, add the juice of +grapefruit and the grape juice. Turn into a cold freezer and when the +mixture begins to thicken well, add the stiffly beaten white of an +egg and the cherries (two egg whites are better if eggs are not too +expensive). Cover and freeze until firm and smooth. + + +GRAPE SHERBET + + 1 teaspoonful of gelatine, + ¾ cupfuls of grape juice, + 1 cupful of syrup or sugar, + ½ cupful of honey, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + ½ cupful of water, + 1 egg white. + +Soak the gelatine in a little cold water; boil the syrup, honey and +half cupful of water, and add the dissolved gelatine. Allow this to +cool, add grape juice and the lemon juice and freeze. Open the freezer +when slightly hard and add the stiffly beaten egg white. Re-cover and +freeze until smooth and hard. (Two egg whites are better if plentiful.) + + +CRÉOLE LEMON SHERBET + + 3 lemons, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 2 cupfuls of water, + 1 egg white. + +Boil the water and sugar, and add the grated rind of one lemon. Cool, +add the juice of three lemons, strain through a fine cloth, and freeze +until partly frozen, remove the cover, add the egg white stiffly +beaten. Cover again and freeze until smooth. + + +MILK SHERBET + + 2 lemons, + 1 cupful of syrup, + 3 cupfuls of whole milk, + Candied cherries. + +Mix the juice of the lemons and the syrup, add the milk very slowly, +stirring constantly, as it will curdle if poured too fast. That will +not spoil the sherbet, but it does not look so well and one’s appetite +is helped by the appearance of one’s food. + +Freeze the mixture, serve in attractive glasses, with a few chopped +candied cherries. + + +ORANGE SHERBET + + 1 egg white, + 2 cupfuls of orange juice, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + 1 cupful of water, + ¾ cupfuls of sugar (brown sugar or syrup may be used). + +Put the sugar in a saucepan with the water, bring to the boiling point, +then cool. Add the orange and lemon juice, a pinch of salt and freeze. + +Before the freezing is complete, add the egg white beaten stiffly; +repack and continue to freeze until smooth. + + +STRAWBERRY SHERBET + + 1 quart of strawberries, + 2 cupfuls of water, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + ¾ cupfuls of syrup or sugar, + 1 egg white. + +Wash and hull the strawberries, mash well and press through a +cheesecloth. Add the syrup, lemon juice and water. Mix well, freeze +partially, add the stiffly beaten egg white, and finish freezing. + + +RASPBERRY SHERBET + + 1 quart of raspberries, + 1 egg white, + 3 cupfuls of water, + 1 cupful of syrup or sugar, + 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, + 2 cupfuls of raspberry juice. + +Mash the berries and press through a cheesecloth; pour boiling water +over the syrup; add the berry juice and lemon juice and freeze. When +partially frozen, add the stiffly beaten egg white, stir in well, and +continue to freeze until smooth. + + +EMERGENCY PEACH SHERBET + +This might also be called an economical sherbet, for one may use just +as many peaches as one has. For in this recipe one is supposed to use +peaches too ripe for slicing. + +Mash the peaches, and press through a coarse sieve and sweeten to +taste. Half fill sherbet glasses with finely shaved ice and pour the +sweetened peach pulp over. Top each serving with a preserved or candied +cherry. + + +PINEAPPLE SHERBET + + 1½ pints of grated pineapple, + 1½ cupfuls of syrup, + 1 tablespoonful of gelatine, + 1 pint of rich milk, + 2 egg whites. + +To the grated pineapple (canned may be used if fresh pineapple is not +in season) add the syrup and the gelatine which has been dissolved +in a small amount of water. Stir, pour into the chilled freezer, and +freeze until about half frozen; open the freezer and add the milk; +again turning the freezer until it turns with difficulty. Uncover, +add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, turn until well mixed, and +thoroughly hard. + +If the dasher is removed and the sherbet repacked and allowed to stand +to “ripen” for two hours, there will be a decided improvement in flavor +and texture. + + +TEA SHERBET + + 2 cupfuls of tea, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 lemon, + 1 orange, + ½ cupful of water. + +Melt the sugar in the water and allow to begin to boil; take from the +fire and add the juice of the lemon and orange; stir well, add the tea +and freeze. + + +APPLE ICE + + 1 quart of tart red apples, + 1½ cupfuls of maple sugar, + 3 cupfuls of water, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice. + +Wash, quarter and remove the core, but do not pare the apples. Put them +into a saucepan with the water; boil rapidly until soft. Mash and add +the maple sugar. When cold press through a fine sieve, add the lemon +juice and freeze. + + +LEMON ICE + + 1 cupful of sugar, + 3 lemons, + Water. + +Add a cupful of sugar to the zest of one lemon and the juice of three; +add enough water to make a quart. Allow this to come to the boiling +point, cool, strain and freeze. + + +LOGANBERRY ICE + + 2 cupfuls of loganberry juice, + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice. + +Boil the water; add the sugar and when cold add the lemon and +loganberry juices. Freeze until smooth and hard. Repack and allow to +stand for two hours. + + +STRAWBERRY ICE + + 1 cupful of sugar, + 1 cupful of water, + 1 quart of strawberries. + +Boil the sugar and water until it bubbles. Wash and hull the +strawberries; mash and press through a cheesecloth. When the syrup is +cold, add the strawberry juice and pulp; mix well and freeze. + + +WATERMELON ICE + + Ripe melon, + 1½ cupfuls of sugar, + 2 oranges, + 1 lemon, + ½ cupful of white grape juice, + Pink vegetable coloring. + +Remove the pulp from a ripe melon; press it through a fine sieve and +add the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice and the zest of one orange and +the grape juice. Color with enough vegetable color to make it a real +watermelon pink; pack and freeze. + + +FRUIT GRANITS + +Granits are really “snow waters,” frozen only enough to admit being +poured. The granits are frozen in a freezer, although the Créoles +usually freeze them in the “old fashioned water jugs.” + + +ORANGE GRANIT + + 1½ cupfuls of orange juice, + ½ pound of sugar, + 1 pint of water. + +Peel six oranges very carefully, removing all the inner white part of +the skin, and slice very thin. Place this in a deep bowl and sprinkle +granulated sugar, allowing it to stand for five hours. Squeeze the +juice from six oranges, and press the juice from the sliced ones, +straining it and mixing the plain juice with this syrup. Add the water, +strain and pour into a freezer; and freeze until like mush. Serve in +small punch glasses. + + +LEMON GRANIT + + 1 pint of water, + ½ pound of sugar, + 1 cupful of lemon juice. + +Extract the juice from the lemons, add the sugar and stir until +dissolved; add the water and freeze until mush-like and serve in +attractive punch glasses. + + +STRAWBERRY GRANIT + + 1 quart of strawberries, + 1 tablespoonful of strawberry extract, + 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, + 1 pound of sugar, + 1½ pints of water. + +Crush the berries and cover with the sugar, allowing this to stand for +five hours. Strain and press through a sieve, pressing out all the +juice possible. Add the lemon juice, water and the extract. Turn this +into a freezer and freeze until like mush. Serve in punch glasses. + + +RASPBERRY GRANIT + + 1 quart of raspberries, + 1 tablespoonful of raspberry extract, + 1 pound of sugar, + ½ cupful of currants, + 1 pint of water. + +Crush the currants and raspberries and cover with the sugar, allowing +this to stand for five hours. Press through a sieve, being sure to +leave no juice which can possibly be pressed out. Add the extract and +water and freeze until like mush. Serve in punch glasses. + + + THE END. + + + + + INDEX + + + Apollinaris lemonade, 7 + + Applebloom punch, 18 + + Appleblow cocktail, 44 + + Apple bowl, 36 + + Apple ice, 167 + + Apple juice highball,

If, however, she is +inclined to think it an arduous task, let her turn to these +recipes, and she will be convinced that the labor and the +time expended bring their own reward in the satisfaction +gained by knowing that one has served a delicious drink delightfully +made.</p> + +<p>There may be the feeling, if my hostess lives in an apartment, +that there is not room enough to store these syrups +and vinegars, and while that may be true in part, it is always +possible to keep two or three popular syrups in quart +bottles, and at least one bottle of fruit vinegar, in the refrigerator.</p> + +<p>As both syrups and vinegars may be made in small quantities, +one may make them oftener and make enough to last +a week or two.</p> + +<p>There are one or two things I would impress upon the +hostess who would be popular, and if I refer to these things +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_viii">[viii]</span>again in the book, I trust I may be pardoned, for they are +most imperative.</p> + +<p>First: the necessity for selecting attractive glassware, +which need not be expensive, but should be thin and clear, +and, when in use, should always be polished.</p> + +<p>When purchasing linen, select it because of its daintiness +rather than for its elaborateness. Plate doylies and +serviettes which are plain and fine may be purchased for a +very little money if care is taken. Who would not rather +use a doylie with a button-holed edge, spotlessly clean, than +one heavily embroidered which will require three times the +labor to launder?</p> + +<p>If drinks are served by the maid, it is as essential that +her cuffs, collar, cap and apron be as spotless as the doylies +on the service plates.</p> + +<p>When cold drinks are served, be sure that the glasses are +chilled.</p> + +<p>For hot drinks, heat the cups or glasses before pouring the +drinks.</p> + +<p>Place the glass or cup on a doylie on a small plate.</p> + +<p>When serving an invalid, be over-particular; the glass +must shine, the doylie be spotless, and the plate the most +attractive obtainable.

Good looking glasses cost no more +than ugly ones, and clear fine glass polishes better than +heavy blurred glass. And surely any drink is more pleasing +to the palate if the eye is pleased. Be sure that the glasses +shine, and also ascertain that glasses meant to hold cold +drinks are chilled. Almost all fruitades, no matter what the +name or foundation, contain lemon juice, so it is also well to +remember that lemons intended for squeezing should be +peeled, and that very carefully. While the lemon peel, or +the zest, rather, is an excellent flavor, it is not satisfactory in +lemonade, as there is a little bitterness when it stands, which +displeases some people.</p> + +<p>Most of the recipes given for these fruitades are for individual +drinks, to make it easier for the hostess to ascertain +how much to prepare if she knows the number of people to +be served.</p> + +<p>A cocktail shaker, an ice shaver and a long handled spoon +are almost a necessity in making drinks. They are at least a +great aid, and as none of these things is expensive and all +may be obtained in the housekeeping department of any city +shop, or in the hardware store in small towns, there seems +no reason for not owning them.</p> + +<p>Fruitades are delicious, refreshing and healthful, and +surely not difficult to make, so that the gracious hostess will +serve these cooling drinks often.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">[2]</span></p> + +<p>If syrups are made and bottled one need not worry about +serving a delectable drink in a surprisingly short time.</p> + +<h4 id="lemonade">BASEBALL LEMONADE</h4> + +<p>For an individual drink, use:</p> + + +<table class="recipe"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">egg,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">lemon,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">spoonful of sugar,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">¾</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of milk,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">½</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of water.</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p>Put the egg in the bottom of the tall glass; add the juice +of a lemon, a spoonful of sugar, a little ice, shaved fine, and +the milk and water.

These may be crushed and pressed either +by hand or in an ordinary cider mill. If light colored juice +is desired, the crushed grapes are put in a clean, well washed +cloth sack and either hung up and twisted or grasped by +two persons, one at either end, and twisted until the greater +part of the juice is expressed. Then, in a double boiler or its +equivalent, such as a large stone jar placed in a pan of hot +water, so that the juice does not come in direct contact +with the fire, the juice is gradually heated to a temperature +of 180° to 200° F. The temperature should never be +allowed to go over 200° F. It is best to use a thermometer; +if none is available, however, the juice may be heated until +it steams, but it should not be allowed to boil. It should +be poured immediately into a glass or enameled vessel and +allowed to settle for 24 hours; then the juice should be +drained from the sediment and run through several thicknesses +of clean flannel or through a conic filter made from +woolen cloth or felt and fixed to a hoop of iron, so that +it can be suspended wherever necessary. The juice is then +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">[81]</span>poured into clean bottles, space being left at the top for +the liquid to expand when heated. A good home substitute +for the commercial pasteurizer is an ordinary wash boiler +with a thin board fitted over the bottom on which the filled +bottles are set. Ordinary glass fruit jars serve the same +purpose equally well. The tubs should be filled with water +within an inch or so of the tops of the bottles and heated +until the water begins to simmer. The bottles should be +taken out and sealed or corked immediately. Only new +corks that have just been soaked in a temperature of about +140° F. should be used. It is well to take the further +precaution of sealing the corks with paraffin or sealing wax +to prevent the entrance of mold germs.</p> + +<p>When red juice is desired, crushed grapes should first +be heated to a temperature of not more than 200° F.; then +strained through a clean cloth or drip bag, no pressure +being used, and set away to cool and settle. The remaining +procedure is the same for the red as for the light colored +juice. Many people do not even take the trouble to let +the juice settle after it is strained, simply reheating and +sealing the vessels and setting them away in an upright +position in a cool place where they will be undisturbed. If +bottles are used, the corks should be sterilized and the necks +of the bottles sealed with sealing wax. The juice settles, +and when desired for use the clear liquid is poured off the +sediment.</p> + +<p>Any person familiar with the process of canning fruit +can put up grape juice, for the principles involved are the +same. Care should be taken not to sterilize the juice at a +temperature higher than 195° F.; or the finished product +will have a scorched taste. The bottles or jars should not +be so large that when they are opened the juice will spoil +before it can be used. Unfermented grape juice, properly +made and bottled, will keep indefinitely if not exposed to +the atmosphere or to infection of mold germs; when a bottle +is once open, however, the contents, like canned goods generally, +should be used as soon as possible. Unfermented +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span>juice may be made not only from all varieties of grapes, +but also from some other fruits, such as apples, pears and +cherries. Some berries also yield excellent juices.</p> + +<h4>GRAPE JUICE No. 2</h4> + +<p>Crush the grapes in a clean kettle with a wooden spoon +and put them in a cloth sack or jelly bag. Twist the sack +or press it until the juice has all come out. Put the juice +in a double boiler over hot water until it steams. If a kettle +is used, great care must be taken that the juice does not +boil. Let the juice stand in an enamel kettle for 24 hours +to settle. Run it through a flannel jelly bag and put into +clean bottles. Leave space in bottle for the liquid to +expand. Put the bottle in a sterilizer and fill the sterilizer +with cold water until within an inch of the top of the bottles. +Heat the water slowly until it is nearly simmering, take the +bottles out and insert clean corks, and, as a final precaution +it is advisable to dip the top of the cork in sealing wax or +paraffin.</p> + +<p>This makes a light colored juice. For a red juice, the +grapes may be heated until just before the boiling point as +in the first part of the process. It is not necessary to allow +the juice to settle but it is much clearer if you do.</p> + +<h3 title="ROOT_BEERS"><ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note—header added" id="RBh3">ROOT BEERS</ins></h3> +<h4>GINGER BEER</h4> + + +<table class="recipe"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">2</td> +<td class="tdl">ounces of ginger root,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">2</td> +<td class="tdl">ounces of cream of tartar,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">lemon,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1½</td> +<td class="tdl">pounds of granulated sugar,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">¼</td> +<td class="tdl">cake of compressed yeast.</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p>Place the ginger in a large bowl, bruise and pound thoroughly; +add boiling water, then the grated rind of the lemon +and when stirred in, add the juice of the lemon.

Cut them in pieces and run through a food grinder, +placing a deep dish where it will catch <i>all</i> of the juice. +Place a fine cloth in a colander; pile the apple pomace (the +ground apple) in it and pour all the juice in too. Fold +the cloth over and place a heavy weight on top, pressing +it often. When the juice or cider is pressed out, bottle and +use. It should not be kept, as it becomes sour very quickly.</p> + +<p>It is probably as economical to purchase the sweet cider +as to use the time and the necessary apples to make the +cider.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[86]</span></p> + +<h4>TO KEEP CIDER SWEET AND SPARKLING<br> +(Date of recipe, 1845)</h4> + +<p>Let the new sweet cider ferment from one to three weeks +according to whether the weather is cool or warm, longer +if cool or one week if warm. When it has attained a lively +fermentation, add to each gallon, according to its acidity, +from one half to two pounds of sugar, and allow it to again +ferment until the desired sweetness is reached. Pour out +one quart of the cider and add for each gallon one-quarter +ounce of sulphite of lime (anti-chloride). Stir the powder +and cider until thoroughly mixed and return to the rest +of the cider. Agitate well and briskly for a few minutes +and then let the cider settle. The fermentation will cease +at once. After a few days draw off the clear cider, bottle +carefully, and cork well. Bottles with patent stoppers will +be found most satisfactory.</p> + +<h4>TO BOIL CIDER<br>(Old New England recipe)</h4> + +<p>Use perfectly sweet cider, preferably not over two days +old: boil until boiled down about half. Skim often, pour +into hot bottles and cork tightly.

The coffee is immediately poured off.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[107]</span></p> + +<h4>COFFEE, BATAVIA STYLE</h4> + +<p class="center">(<i>As made by the Dutch coffee planters in Java</i>)</p> + +<p>The coffee is ground fine and packed tightly in the top of +a French pot. The required amount of <i>cold</i> water is poured +over it and allowed to drip through. It requires about five +hours for the process if the coffee is packed as tightly as it +should be. The coffee is then heated and from three to +four times its volume of hot milk added.</p> + +<h4>TURKISH COFFEE</h4> + +<p>A heaping dessertspoonful of powdered coffee is added +to one small cupful of cold water. This is brought to a boil, +and the coffee and grounds are poured into the cup.</p> + +<p>Turkish coffee is drunk grounds and all, without cream +or sugar.</p> + +<h4>KAFFEE “KULTUR”</h4> + +<p>It is the unanimous observation of civilized travelers that +good coffee is unobtainable in Germany. The foremost +scientist of that race, the famous Baron von Liebig, nearly +a hundred years ago wrote an exhaustive treatise on the +subject of coffee and coffee making, and devised the concoction +which among Germans now passes for coffee. Was +it not given them by authority? This is von Liebig’s recipe:</p> + +<p>Put three-quarters of the amount of coffee to be used on +the fire in boiling water; boil from ten to fifteen minutes. +Then put in the remaining one-quarter of the coffee, cover +and let it stand for five minutes. Stir, strain and serve +with an equal amount of milk.</p> + +<h4>EXCELLENT COFFEE</h4> + +<p>Use a drip pot, one having a cloth bag. Wet the bag, +place the coffee in this, and pack as tightly as possible around +the sides and bottom. Pour in slowly three cupfuls of boiling +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[108]</span>water to each half cupful of powdered coffee. Place the +pot on the back of the range, or on an asbestos mat with +only enough flame under to keep it warm, and pour the +water slowly.</p> + +<p>Serve with cream as soon as dripped.</p> + +<h3>TEA</h3> + +<p>Chin Hung, Chinese scholar and philosopher, to whom +all the agricultural and medical knowledge of China is +traced, once said, so I am told: “Tea is better than wine, +for it leadeth not to intoxication, neither does it cause a +man to say foolish things. It is better than water, for it +doth not carry disease, neither doth it act as poison.”</p> + +<p>There are really but two kinds of teas on the market: +green and black. The color of the tea depends on the +oxidation; black tea being exposed to the air, or oxidized +before final drying, while green tea is dried immediately +after rolling.</p> + +<p>There are a number of different brands with which we +are all familiar, such as Formosa, Oolong, Ceylon, English +Breakfast, Orange Pekoe, and Flowery Pekoe.</p> + +<p>Right here I will say that if a spray of orange blossom is +kept in the tea caddy one need not pay the price for Orange +Pekoe.</p> + +<h4>TEA MAKING</h4> + +<p>Be sure that the water is boiling, and use it at once. +Rinse the pot with hot water. Place the tea in the pot in +a “ball,” and pour over the freshly boiled water, allowing +it to stand for five minutes, then the tea-ball and the tea +should be removed.</p> + +<p>Use a level teaspoonful of tea to one and a half cupfuls +of water. I think most people will want to dilute this, even.</p> + +<h4>RUSSIAN TEA</h4> + +<p>“Russian tea” has a rather inflated reputation, and is +not really known in this country as it is used there.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_109">[109]</span></p> + +<p>A great amount of tea infusion is used, as the samovar +is always in evidence, but the water is poured on the tea +again and again, making a great amount of liquid without +much strength. Sugar and lemon juice is added and it is +drunk from a glass.</p> + +<h4>ICED TEA</h4> + +<p>One may make fresh tea and pour it over cracked ice in +individual glasses, or one may make a rather strong solution +of tea, and add cracked ice to it in a large pitcher, or make +a weaker solution, and pour over cracked ice in glasses. The +method must depend upon the fancy of one’s family, or the +hostess.</p> + +<h4>ICED TEA WITH MINT</h4> + +<p>While iced tea is usually served with sugar and lemon, +I am quite sure that in addition a spray of mint will be +found most acceptable. Place the mint in the glass and +pour the tea over.</p> + +<h4>HOT TEA WITH MINT</h4> + +<p>I find that a cupful of hot tea into which a few leaves +of mint have been placed is most refreshing. This may be +served either with or without sugar.</p> + +<h3>COCOA AND CHOCOLATE</h3> + +<p>It is very rare for one to serve chocolate these days, as +cocoa in a perfected form is put up by reliable firms in +this country, and most hostesses prefer it to chocolate, which +is more difficult to prepare and rather richer than wise to +serve to the family generally.</p> + +<h4>COCOA</h4> + + +<table class="recipe"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of milk,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">teaspoonful of cocoa.</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span></p> + +<p>Bring the milk to the boiling point and pour in the cocoa +moistened with a little warm water.

To can them at home, the first thing +to remember is; the fruit should be well ripened and the +cherries will be far better if it is possible to obtain them +directly from the trees. If one is fortunate enough to be +able to get them from the trees, see that they hang at least +four days after they are considered ripe, for they will be +larger, riper and sweeter.</p> + +<p>Another thing to bear in mind, is that cherries should be +simmered and never boiled.</p> + +<p>It is quite possible to use any canned cherries one may +have, or may purchase, in making sundaes, or those put +up commercially for this purpose alone.</p> + +<h4>CANNED CHERRIES</h4> + +<p>The amount of fruit depends upon the desire of the +<ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note—original text: hotesss" id="hostess">hostess</ins>, for she may have a few she wishes to can, or a +great many; the process is the same.</p> + + +<table class="recipe"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl"></td> +<td class="tdl">Cherries,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">2</td> +<td class="tdl">cupfuls of water,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of sugar.</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p>Wash and pit the cherries, put them in sterilized jars, +adjust the rubbers (new ones), and pour over the boiling +syrup, made of the sugar and water boiled. Pour in enough +syrup to nearly overflow. Partially seal the jar and place +in a sterilizer, either commercial or home-made, and nearly +cover with boiling water. It has been found satisfactory by +the writer to allow the water to reach just <i>below</i> the top. +Sterilize for sixteen minutes.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_149">[149]</span></p> + +<h4>CANNED CHERRIES WITHOUT SYRUP</h4> + +<p>If one cares to can the cherries without using syrup, pour +plain boiling water over the cherries in the jars, in place of +the syrup and sterilize for a half hour. After sterilization, +complete the seal, invert to test for leakage, allow to cool, +wrap in dark paper and store.</p> + +<h4>PRESERVED CHERRIES</h4> + +<p>Remove the pits from the largest cherries obtainable; +allow a pound of sugar and one cupful of water to each +pound of fruit. Melt the sugar in the water, let it come to +a boil and skim thoroughly. Then add the cherries and +allow them to simmer for twenty minutes. Take out with +a skimmer, pack into sterilized hot jars and boil down the +syrup until quite thick. Fill the jars to overflowing and +seal air-tight, using new rubbers and hot covers.</p> + +<h4>PRESERVES AND SHRUB FROM THE SAME CHERRIES</h4> + +<p>Stone the cherries and cover with vinegar. Stand in a +cool place for twenty-four hours and drain off the fruit +juice and the vinegar. To each pint of juice add a scant +pound of sugar, simmer for twenty-five minutes and bottle +air-tight. Put the drained cherries in a stone crock with +alternate layers of granulated sugar, allowing three-quarters +of a pound of sugar for each pint of fruit. Keep the crock +covered and in a cool place. Every eighteen hours stir the +fruit and sugar carefully for a period of eight days. The +uncooked preserves can be put in small jars and paraffined, +but they need not be sealed air-tight.</p> + +<h4>MOCK MARASCHINO CHERRIES</h4> + +<p>Select the largest sized cherries one can find and remove +the pits, saving all the juice. Measure fruit and juice and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span>allow an equal amount of sugar. Drain the cherries and +set on the ice. Put the juice and sugar into a preserving +kettle, cook to a thick syrup and add the cherries. Simmer +for fifteen minutes. Drain off half the cherry syrup, add +an equal amount of white grape juice, bring quickly to the +boil and seal as for preserved fruit.</p> + +<h4>DRIED CHERRIES</h4> + +<p>The larger the cherry the more satisfactory if dried to +use for sundaes.</p> + +<p>Wash, stem and pit the cherries; spread in thin layers +on a drying tray. (Commercial driers are inexpensive and +very satisfactory.) Dry from two to four hours, starting +at 110 degrees F. Condition them by placing in composition +or paper boxes and pouring them from box to box every day +for four days. This is to insure even drying. If too moist, +return to the drier for a short time, and again pour into the +boxes, and again “condition” them.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">[151]</span></p> + + <h2 class="nobreak" id="XIII-ICE_CREAMS_SORBETS_SHERBETS"> + XIII—ICE CREAMS, SORBETS, SHERBETS, + WATER ICES AND GRANITS + </h2> +</div> + +<p>Giving recipes for ice creams and the like in a book given +to telling of beverages would seem a queer conceit, were +it not for the fact that ice creams, sherbets and water ices +are often used to quench the thirst; this is my reason and +my only excuse, should an excuse be needed.</p> + +<h4>VANILLA ICE CREAM</h4> + + +<table class="recipe"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">quart of cream,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">¾</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of honey,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">cupful of milk,</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1</td> +<td class="tdl">tablespoonful of vanilla extract.</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p>Heat the milk, add the honey, and stir until melted and +thoroughly mixed.
