TUB 1SKS OF lRIF.I FOODS
Pried foods play an important part
in the diet, especially in the winter.
Since we are fotvrd to look ahead for
our winter food, wc must take into
considerat on the kind of foods which
keep best, those easiest stored, the
ones which will trive the amount of
food value required.
Pried foods, with a little care, can
be kept in perfrt t condition, they may
be stored in muih less space and are
equally as nutritious as other foods.
A little more rare must be taken
in preparing dried foods in order t
have them in their perfect state, and
liecause this is so often neglected they
have ut ilesereilly l oen pushed to the
background.
I'.y f .llowinir these few simple rules
in preparing dried fruits, a very
plcnsini? result will be had:
1. Wash quickly in several waters.
2. Soak in cold water over night.
Th s is very much U tter than imme
diate rookinir, because it shortens
time required for cooking, develops
better flavor, nnd lessens amount of
sugar required.
:i. Cook in th'.s water until tender,
u-iitiir tlamo or the tireless cooker.
4. Add suirar to softened fruit anil j
cook a few minutes longvr.
Reside the usual stewed dried i
fruits which nre very good and nu
tritious, but wh th grow to be mo
notonous long? before winter is over,
very nice fruit whips, smilTles, pic
and puddings niny be made.
Fruit Souffle
3-4c. pulp sweetened
,'i egg whites
sn't
Irish, dried or canned fruit may
be used. I'rain sirup from the fruit,
press pulp thru a strainer and add
to the st (Tly beaten whites. I'se
I)over beater and continue beating
uttil very light. Place in buttered,
sugared molds in pan of warm water
Pake in moderate oven until firm.
Pried Peach Pudding
Place halves of dried peaches
which have been cooked by above di
reitions, in baking dish. Add a
O
marshmallow to each canity and over
th s pour a boiled custard which ha
been made with the yolks of eggs,
reserving the whites for the me
rit gue. The peach juice may be add
ed to the custard if desired.
After nientigue has been added,
brown in a moderate oven.
Aprii'ots may well be used in place
of peaches.
Fruit Whip
I'se same amount of fruit and pro
ceed as for fruit aoiilTle, substituting?
one cup of medium cream, whipped.
Chill and serve uncooked.
I tried vegetables must also be
soaked long, but the Water must be
changed before cooking. They may
be used in the same recipes as fresh
and canned ones.
