PLUM PUDDING
No matter how up-to-date we
may try to be. there are times
when old-fashioned dishes which
have a special appeal work their
way into the housewife's program.
The old English fruit pudding is
one of these favorites which now
claims attention in the season of
the changing years, Although it
requires more work in the prepar
ation than the average dessert, if
tnado in, a good quantity It can be
kept In a cool place for months
and used as required.
The following will make twelve
to fourteen servings.
Mix together, one pound cur
rants, four cupfuls raislrm, one
pound chopped suet, one pound
brown sugar, one pound finely cut
citron, lemon and orange peel, one
pound peeled and chopped apples,
two level cupfuls bread crumbs,
five level teaspoonfuls baking powd
er. two level cupfuls flour, one
level teaspoonful salt, two table
spoonfuls butter, ono level cupful
broken nutmeats, two orange and
two lemon rinds, grated, one table
spoonful each of powdered cinna
mon and ginger, seven eggs, well
beaten and one cupful fruit juice.
When all have been thoroughly
blended, set aside for an hour In
a cool place In an enameled ware
saucepan, the porcelaln-llke sur
face of which is Impervious and
will not affect or be affected by
the fruit acids in the mixture.
Then steam in an enameled ware
double boiler for four hours or
more. The longer It Is steamed,
the better the result- Serve with
hard or liquid sauce and garnish
with strips of citron and candled
cherries.
A DELIGHTFUL APRICOT
PRUNE SOUFFLE
Many children and older folks as
well, often look askance at any
dish containing prunes. But de
spite the lack of interest they seem
to inspire, there is no doubt as to
their place in a healthful diet.
The prune Is to many unappeal
ing because of its color but it can
well be used with other fruits
which will tend to make it more
appetizing, The upricot with
which It blends so well, not only
onhanceB Us flavor, but Us color
and appearance as well. And a
souffle of this combination should
meet with the hearty approval of
all the family.
Place one half pound each of
apricots and prunes In cold water.
Soak over night and then cook
them until soft, in an enameled
ware saucepan, which because of
Us procelaln-like surface, should
always be used In cooking acid
fruits. Remove the prune pits and
mash through an enameled ware
colander or strainer, Then inlx
together, one pound sugar, one
quart cold water, three quarters of
a cupful corn starch, one half tea
•poonful salt and the juice of one

KICK CRANBERRY
CONSERVE
There are all sorts of ways In
which the piquant cranberry can
be prepared and utilized. But for
all its possibilities, it seldom gets
beyond the stage of sauces and
jellies.
During this season the house
wife likes to surprise the family
with -something new and because
the cranberry's bright red color
will help toward making her table
look attractive and inviting, she
should certainly try cranberry con
serve. It is really most delicious
and will be worth the little addit
ional trouble of preparation.
Wash and pick over two quarts
of cranberries. Place them in an
enameled ware saucepan, the por
celain-Uke surface of which will
not be affected by the cranberries
and other fruit acids used in the
mixture. Add three Cups of water,
bring to boiling point, and cook
until the berries burst, Press

der, then return the pulp to the
saucepan, add three pounds of
sugar, one pound seeded raisins,
the grated rind and juice of one
orange and one half pound chop
ped. nutmeats. Simmer for twenty
minutes and stir occasionally.
If some Is to be preserved for
future use, allow it to get cold be
fore it is sealed in jars.
REAL OLD-FASHIONED
PUMPKIN PIE
With other pies, the crust may
be the trouble—but with pumpkin,
the secret of success to In the fill
ing. The best result for a firm
pumpkin filling Is obtained by
steaming. This eliminates most of
the moisture which often makes
the pie soggy, when other methods
of preparation are employed.
Peel the pumpkin and remove
the seeds. Cut into small pieces
and steam in an enameled ware
double boiler which will preserve
the delicate color and flavor of
pumpkin. When soft, drain off
any water that may have accumu
lated* and press through an enamel
ed ware colander.
Beat two eggs thoroughly, add one
half cupful brown sugar, one half
teaspoonful salt, one half tcaspoon
ful each of ground ginger and cin
namon. Pour over this mixture
one pint scalded milk and then add
the pumpkin and stir until
thoroughly blended. Turn into a
pie plate, which has been lined
with any kind of pastry you prefer.
Bake for about three-quarters of
an hour, having the oven hot for
the first ten minutes, then reduc
ing the heat for the remainder of
the baking period.
