Naticmalßepubliccin «•••' Official City Paper. UKtiKST CITY CIRCULATION Ifficul Organ of th« U. 8- Government. IUNuAY MORNING January I#, 18*8 DOMESTIC RECIPES. Ripk Fox Grate Jam.—Put your grapes into n stew pan over the fire until they are scalded; then drain them well, ami rub through a sieve, and add a pound of sugar to a pint of pulp, and boil until done, stirring, con stantly. To Cook Kick. —Soak your rice in salt water for seven hours; put into fresh water and boil ten minutes; empty into a cullender before the fire to drain, when the grains will separate, and you will find it an excellent dish, with soup of any kind. JBccKWiiKAi Cakks. Take two quirts of water, blood warm; one pint of brewer’s yeast; make a thin batter; let them rise as far as they will, then add three-fourths of a tablespoonful of carbonate of soda, dissolved in a little water; then try them as quick as you like. Cocoanut Pudding.—Take a quar ter of a pound of cocoa; quarter of a pound of sugar; and three ounces of butter; mix and beat them well. Take the whites of six eggs beaten to a still' froth, and add to the above half a glass of wine and brandy mixed, and a table spoonful of rosewater. Sweet Potato Custakd. —Take one pound potato mashed and sifted fine, half pound sugar, a small cup of cream, and quarter pound of butter; four eggs, nutmeg and lemon to suit the taste. If you have no cream, put half pound butter. This makes two large custards. Will some one send in a well tasted recipe for sweet potato pudding ? Potato Salad.—Boil, till done, six Irish potatoes and six white onions, separately; prepare a sauce of two ounces of butter; pepper and salt to suit the taste, and add to a pint of vinegar; slice a layer of onions and one of potatoes alternately into a deep dish; have the sauce very hot, and pour over them. Very good to any one who likes onions. To Preserve Eggs.—November is the month in which to purchase eggs to preserve for winter use. The best method is to pack them in salt, with the small end of the egg downward. Put a thick layer of salt in a barrel, then place a layer of eggs, not allow ing them to touch; then a layer of salt, until you have sufficient for winter use. Prepared in this way they will keep a twelve-month,'and retain their freshness. Sweet Potatoes —A New Wav. —Boil the potatoes and peel them ; slice them into an earthen dish, putting on each layer a tablespoon ful of sugar, grated nutmeg, and some butter, until the dish is filled; bake till brown; a little wine added improves the flavor. This dish is equal to jelly as an accom paniment to fresh meats or fowls, and it is good when cold for supper. Try it and see. How to Keei> Meat Fkesii.— Simply immerse it in buttermild. This willl keep it for several days, when the milk should be changed, and fresh milk substituted. In this way beef, veal, etc., can be kept for several weeks, and it will be sweet and fresh at the end of that time as when first put in. Our butcher furnished us with the receipt. The whole neighborhood is now saving its meat in this way. It is equally efficacious iu the hottest weather. Good Hams.— After hams have been smoked, take them down and thor oughly rub the flesh part with molas ses, then immediately apply ground or powdered pepper, by sprinkling as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for two or three years. This must be done before the fly deposits its eggs, for after that is done, nothing will stop their ravages. The above has been practiced in our section for more than twenty years. No soaking is necessary. One pint of molasses and oue or two pounds of black pepper are sufficient for any ordi nary family. Try this plan, if you want good sweet hams. C. H. Warner, PLUMBER, <JAB AND STEAM FITTER, HO.
