SOUPS 

"For soup is but the first of those delights which go to 
make the coming bill of fare." 



STOCK FOR SOUP. 
1 lave a large pot on the back of the stove. Put in lean 
beef in the proportion of I pound beef to I quart water. 
Add pork rinds with all the fat taken off. This may cook 
slowly two or three days. When cold skim off all the fat 
and put into another vessel. This stock may be used for 
all soups in which meat broth is required. By adding for 
thickening either barley, rice, sago, macaroni or vermicelli, 
you have any of these soups. 

Mrs. F. L. Colver. 



BOUILLON. 
Two pounds lean beef chopped fine. Pour over it i 
quart cold water, put in a porcelain kettle, cover tight and 
let it simmer four hours. Strain off the tea and let it cool. 
Beat the white of i egg and add to the tea; put it on the 
stove and stir until it comes to a boil. Let it boil until it 
becomes perfectly clear, skimming; then strain through a 
fine napkin and season to taste. 

Mrs. F. L. Colver 



CONSOMMfi. 
There are many ways of preparing this broth, but for 
excellence and economy, practitioners will find this worthy 
of attention : Procure from your butcher several good beef 
bones well broken or sawed through, and a pound or two 
of beef well chopped. Place the beef bones in a roasting or 
dripping pan, add a pint or so of water, and place in a mod- 
erate oven until the bones acquire a nice light brown color ; 
then place in a large pot or stew-pan and cover with cold 
water, when it will be easv to take the fat from the sr.j- 



face; then bring to a boil, skim, and add vegetables accord- 
ing to taste and convenience, such as a few onions, carrots, 
and turnips ; also about i blade mace, 4 cloves, 8 allspice, 
2 bay leaves, a sprig of thyme, and 2 of marjoram. When 
this has simmered several hours take the beef previously 
mentioned, add 2 eggs (yolks and whites), mix well in a 
stew-pan, add a gill or so of cold water or broth, and strain 
the stock just made into the mixture. Stir with a spoon, 
place again on the stove and simmer for an hour or so; 
then take a cloth, wet it well in hot water, wring it out 
thoroughly, and strain the consomme gently through this, 
taking care not to disturb the thick part. Place the broth 
on the fire, bring to a boil, skim,' and serve with toast, 
macaroni, poached eggs, julienne (vegetables shreded and 
cooked n broth or salted water), rice,, barley, quenelles, 
or in fact, any garniture which convenience and taste may 
suggest. Consommes of game or fowl may be prepared in 
the same manner. 

Mrs. F. L. Colver. 



WHITE STOCK. 
6 lbs. shin of veal, 8 quarts cold water, 

1 fowl, Salt and pepper. 

Let come to a boil and then set back and let it simmer 
for six hours. Skim every once in a while. Next add: 

2 onions, 4 sticks celery, 

1 blade of mace, 1 stick cinnamon. 

3 tablespoons butter (not 

necessary if meat or 
fowl be fat), 

Let boil slowly one hour longer. Strain and cool

ering with 1 small onion sliced and a layer of minced celery ; 



23 

upon this place a 2-pound slice of halibut, pour over all a 
generous cup of tomato catsup and bake for about forty 
minutes, basting often. Ten or fifteen minutes before 
serving cover fish with paste made from sifted bread 
crumbs and melted butter and crisp to a golden brown. 
Serve garnished with bunches of crisp cress and accom- 
panied by the following sauce: After removing the fish 
and pork, skim off the fat, leaving the vegetable puree 
(there will be about four tablespoons), to which add I 
cup brown stock, thicken with a scant tablespoon flour 
moistened with cold stock. Season highly with paprika 
and "Kitchen Bouquet." 

Mrs. F. L. Colver. 



TO FRY EELS. 
After the eels have been skinned, wash in several waters 
and dry on a linen towel, cut into lengths of about four or 
five inches and roll in flour which has had a little salt sprin- 
kled in it. Have your frying pan piping hot on the range, 
with a small quantity of olive oil in it. Drop in the eels 
and fry, turning at intervals till all are a golden brown. 
They will require thorough cooking, as the flesh is very 
concentrated. From fifteen to twenty minutes should suf- 
fice. When done take out with a fork and lay them on a 
sheet of white paper to drain off any superfluous oil. I 
find the oil superior to any other kind of fat in frying fish, 
as it requires but very little and keeps the fish from stick- 
ing to the pan. 

Mrs. C. C. Converse. 



SALT MACKEREL IN CREAM.

lene. Prepared at night they can be fried in the morning

ENTIRE WHEAT BREAD, 
i cake Fleischmann's yeast, 3 pints entire wheat flour, 
1 cup lukewarm water, 2 teaspoons sugar, 

1 cup lukewarm milk, I teaspoon salt. 

Put milk, salt and sugar into bowl ; add to it water in 
which the yeast has previously been dissolved. Then add 
the flour gradually, reserving a little for use in kneading. 
This dough should be kneaded thoroughly, but must be kept 
soft. After kneading set in a warm place to rise for from 
two to two and one-half hours. When light, turn out on a 
floured kneading board, divide into two equal parts and 
knead again thoroughly. Place in well-greased pans and set 
to rise for from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. When 
well risen bake for one hour in a slower oven than is re- 
quired for white bread. After bread is baked, remove from 
pans and cool by contact with the air on all sides. One 
tablespoonful of butter may be added with the sugar, if de- 
sired. If set over night, use */£ cake of yeast. In Summer. 
use the liquid cold; in Winter, tepid. The entire process 
takes four hours.

then add the remainder of the flour to make a moderately 
stiff dough. Knead thoroughly and set aside to rise for 
from one and one-half to two hours. When light, turn out 
on a well floured kneading board and knead thoroughly ; di- 
vide into four equal parts and place in well greased baking

for one hour in a moderate oven. After bread is baked, re- 
move the loaves from the pans and lean them against the

SUGGESTIONS IN CAKE MAKING. 

The smaller the cake the hotter the oven should be. 
Large, rich cakes require very slow baking. 

Grease cake pans with lard or drippings, as butter will 
be likely to make the cake stick, owing to the salt in it. 

In making fruit cake, add the fruit before putting in the 
flour, as this will prevent it falling to the bottom of the cake. 
Flouring the fruit is unnecessary unless the fruit is damp. 

In creaming butter and sugar when the butter is too 
hard to blend easily warm the bowl and if necessary, warm 
the sugar, but never warm the butter as this will change both 
texture and flavor of the cake. 

To get fine grained cake, beat thoroughly after the flour 
is added. 



i5i 

Always sift flour before measuring — then it may be 
sifted again with the baking powder to ensure being thor- 
oughly blended. 

For the rich cake that seems about to fall try inverting 
it on the cake board when it has partially cooled and prop 
the edges of the pan so the cake is an inch or so above the 
board. If the pan is floured before the cake is put in, the 
cake will cling to the bottom of the pan and it will often 
offset the tendencv to fall to invert and cool in this manner.

MEXICAN KISSES. 
Put 2 pounds maple sugar and Yi pint sweet cream into 
a graniteware sauce pan and place over a slow fire. After 
it has boiled for ten minutes, test it by taking a small por- 
tion of it in a small saucer, and stirring it briskly until you 
can form it into a soft ball in your fingers. Remove from 
the fire and stir briskly until it begins to thicken. Have 
ready 2 cups of pecans, cut not chopped, and add to the 
candy ; stir again until it is hard to stir. Then drop from a 
spoon on waxed paper. If maple sugar cannot be obtained, 
use coffee, confectioner's sugar and maple extract. 

Miss Carolyn C. Donally. 



TO GLACfi FRUITS AND NUTS. 
Let boil in a porcelain lined kettle between ten and fif- 
teen minutes without stirring, i pound of granulated sugar 
and Yz a cup of water. At end of this time test by taking 
a small portion upon end of spoon, dipping into cold water 
and breaking quickly off. When it is brittle without being 
sticky, it is ready for use. Remove from fire, add table- 
spoon of lemon juice, and stand in bowl of hot water. Use 
sections of oranges, white grapes, pineapples or cherries 
which are thoroughly dry and set aside to dry upon oiled 
paper in a warm dry place. Dip almonds, walnuts or pecans 
the same way. Miss L. F. Pond.

l cup water and a scant j/> teaspoon of the best cream of 
tartar. Put it over a slow fire until it melts. Take a damp 
cloth and carefully wipe all the granules from sides of 
sauce pan ; then skim. Then place it over a quick fire and 
boil for a few minutes ; then test it by droping a little of 
the syrup in a cup of ice water. If it forms in a soft mass 
so that you can lift it from the cup and it remains in a soft 
ball in the fingers, remove it from the fire and pour it into 
deep soup plates, and put it aside to cool. Be sure not to 
cool too quickly in a frosty atmosphere as it may cause it 
to grain. Test the syrup by putting your hand on bottom 
of plate. When it is about lukewarm, stir briskly with a 
large silver fork, until you cannot beat it any more, then 
take it on a large platter, or marble slab, and knead it like 
bread for a few moments. It should be creamy, resembling 
lard; if grainy it is too hard. If put in a porcelain dish 
or jar and covered with oiled paper, and a tight cover, it 
will keep for weeks. This quantity will make less than 2 
pounds of fondant. If you desire more candy repeat the 
quantity as many times as you desire, as I have found that 
with the small quantity I have the best results. 

Miss Carolyn C. Donally. 



CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINTS. 
Take some fondant ; put in a few drops of oil of pepper- 
mint ; then mould into round flat discs the size of a quarter. 
Melt some fondant and add some syrup and to this add 
enough melted, unsweetened chocolate to make a rich 
chocolate color. Be careful to only melt the chocolate and 
fondant. Dip quickly and drop on oiled paper. The 
melted chocolate and fondant can be used for dipping any 
bon-bons or candy desired. 

Miss Carolyn C. Donally. 



BON-BONS.

nuts, candied fruit, ginger or white raisins; mould them 

into round balls. Take some fondant and put it in a small 

sauce pan and place it into a 'dish of hot water or over a

HELPFUL HINTS 

Sprinkle a little flour over suet when chopping it. to prevent 
the pieces sticking together. 

Keep cranberries in a cool place In cold water; will keep foi 
weeks. 

To make whites of eggs beat up quickly, add a pinch of salt. 
The juice from a ripe tomato will remove stains trom the 
hands and whiten them. 

Cabbage chopped and seasoned well with celery salt is a good 
substitute for celery in a salad. 

The following is a table of weights and measures that will be 
found useful: 

One quart sifted flour 1 lb. 

One pint of granulated sugar 

Two cups of butter, packed 

Ten eggs 

Five cups flour 

One generous pint of liquid 

Two cups granulated sugar " 

Two heaping cups of powdered sugar 

One pint of finely chopped meat, packed 

solidly 

The cup used is the common kitchen cup, holding y 2 pint. 
To one quart of flour use 2% teaspoons of baking powder. 
To one quart flour use one teaspoon of soda, and two tea- 
spoons cream tartar. 

To 1 quart of flour use 1 cup of sour milk, 1 teaspoon soda. 
To remove peach stains from linen, saturate the stain with 
spirits of camphor before washing and the stain will disappear. 

A tin can of washing soda should be kept on hand to clean 
pots and pans and sweeten the sink. The dishcloth should be 
boiled in soda water frequently. Ammonia can be used for the 
same purpose but it is more expensive. 

A frying basket, which costs only a trifle, saves much labor 
and material. 

A jar for bread crumbs, which should never be thrown away, 
but dried in the oven and rolled out for dressing and thickenings. 
Keep a pot for fat. Never allow r any fat liquor to be thrown 
away, it will serve as a basis of good vegetable soup to-morrow. 
Save all skimmings from same, and all drippings from the roast. 
When bread or pastry is in danger of burning, a basin of cold 
water set on the upper grate protects the bread and lowers the 
temperature, and is much better than covering with paper or 
leaving the door open.
