My recipe fer cocoanut candy is this: {:
Crate very fine a sound, ripe cocoanut !;
spread on plates and let dry naturally
for three days; use one pound Of white
sugar TO four ounces of the nut boil the
sugar down thick and white, then do not
stop stirring until done keep the pan a
little above the fire to keep from burn>
ing.
Corn SrAPcH BLANC NANCE. -
Nearly boil one quart OF sweet skinned
milk and and FIVE tablespoJnfuls OF corn
starch, wet smooth in little cold milk
and little pinch of salt; stir till it
thickens. Serve cold, with ounce or
other jelly, or, If 1t is to be eaten with
sugar and cream, add one teaspooniul Of
vanilla, when taken from the fire.
The following is q simple method Of
making a freezing mixture: Pulverize
finely chloride of ammonia and nitrate
of potash, five parts of each, and mix
with sixteen parts of water. The tenn
perature of the mixture will be reduced
80 low that a If test>tube with q little
water in it be used to stir it, the water
in the tube will be converted into ice.
APPLE TRIrLE.-Scalda as many apples
a., when pul, ed, will cover the dish you
design to use, to the depth Of two or three
inches. Before you place them in the
dish add TO them the rind OF half lemon
grated fine, and sugar to taste. Mix
half q pint of milk, half a pint of cream
and the yelk Of an egg scald over the
ire, keeping 1t stirring, and do not let it
boil add little sugar, and let it stand
till cold, then lay 1t over the apples, and
finish with the cream whip.
ACCORDING to the Golden Rule, few
people know the value of sweet apples a.
food. 1t says Baked and served with
cream, they make light and most de-
licious dessert. Sliced, and used in pud-
dings of various sorts, they save other
sweetening, and give . grateful element
OF freshness to the dish. And this sug-
gests that one reason why baked apples
Of any kind fall into disfavor in many
families is because they are not fresh. A
tinful or two il baked 10 "save time"
and they come upon the table more and
more dead and dilspidsted, shrunken
and slippery, until the very sight of
them discourages and sickens the
family. A baked apple over one
day old Is past It's prime and an
apsle, like an egg, that "has seen better
days" we don't want to exercise our
charity on! But 1t Is in putting the
finishing touch on a bowl OF bread and
milk that baked sweet apples find their
highest mission. Given milk that is
pure and fresh; bread that Is both fore.
ordained and perfected in grace for such
a use, which mears home made, milk.
rising bread, q little stale, but light,
moist and sweet, and a plate of apples
just done through, and only long enough
out oi the oven 10 have lost their heat
without getting really cold, and you
have lunch fit for king; too good,
indeed, for most of the men who are in
the king business" This dish has
the three elements Of nutriment found
in bread, milk and iruit and il there is
anything better then this combination,
the fact hash leaked out. either through
science or experience. One meal day
OF bread and milk and sweet apples for
children and people of sedentary habits,
would be better than the food which
costs much more In time and money,
that many Of them now indulge in. A
pinch OF salt or a spoonful Of lime. water
will prevent the unpleasant effect which
milk has on some stomachs. No keen
appetite is required TO give relish 10 such
a lunch, and no digestion that Is good
for anything has any trouble with 1t
after it is eaten.
