TUTTI FRUTTI.

TUTTI FRUTTI.
One quart Ofrich cream, one and one
half ounces of sweet almonds, chopped
fine, one-half pound or sugar; freeze
and when sufficiently CONCEALED add
one.half pound OF preserved fruits,
with few white raisins chopped, and
finely sliced citron. Cut the fruit
small and mix well with the cream.
Freeze like ice-cream. Keep on ice un-
til required.
DATE SAUCE.
Date sauce, which is very nice with
bread buildings, is made by stewing
dates in just enough water to cover
them; let them simmer for three quar-
tiers of an hour, then if the dates are
soft rub them through q colander,
beat it until it is light; add waterif it is
needed to thin it, let it come to q boll.
If you have saved the juice OF fruit
when canning it, use this instead OF
water to thin the sauce. The Juice OF
currants is especially appetizing.
TENDERLOIN OF PORK.
The pork should be rubbed with
butter and broiled on a hot gridiron.
Garnish with slices of lemon and serve
with saUce Robert. The sauceis made
in this way: Mince an onion fine and
fry it brown in butter; add half q cup
of vinegar and half O. cup of hot water
or stock; boil O. few minutes and
strain; now add q teaspoonful OF
brown flour and one of mustard, sea-
soning with half a teaspoonfui of salt
and a little white pepper. Boil until
it thickens
FRIED WHOLE POTATOES.
Peel them and boil in sailed water;
do not let them boil until they are
soft. Beat one egg, and have ready
some fine cracker crumbs; roll the
potato in the egg, and then IN the
cracker, and fry in butter until g. light
brown, turning frequently, that the
color may be uniform; or the potatoes
may be dropped into hot lard. In
this case, q cloth should be laid over
g. plate and the potatoes should be
drained for q moment in this before
sending them to the table.
WELSH CUsTARDs.
One cup of dry, grated cheese, four
eggs, one cup OF milk, one teaspoonful
OF butter, two teaspoonfuls OF pre-
pared -four mixed with the milk, bit of
soda the size of g. pea, half teaspoon
full of salt, and pinch of cayenne.
Heat the milk, stirring in the soda,
butter, salt and pepper, with the
flour wet up with a little milk, and
pour it scalding hot on the eggs beaten
light in g, bowl; add the cheese, beat
up for minute, pour into buttered GUS
tard cups and bake in q brisk oven
for about twenty minutes. They
should be puffy and lightly Drowned.
Serve Instantly in the cups, as they
soon fall; pass the waters with them.
SPICE PUDDING.
Take one small, squareloaf OF bread,
cut off the crust, cut in pieces and
pour upon It one pint of boiling water,
and add a teaspoonful of salt. Take
one pint of flour, add one heeping tea
spoonful of baking powder, two coffee
cups of raisins, seeded and chopped;
mix all we'll with the flour, first pow
der and next raisins, then add soaked
bread and one teaspoonful each of
allspiCe, cinnamon, mace and cloves;
then add by degrees one coffee-cup of
sweet milk, and beat the mass we'll
together. Scald pudding bag and put
in the pudding, which should
be pretty stiff, and boil three
hours. The whole secret lies in
plunging in boiling water immediately
after they are mixed, and never letting
them cease boiling. Be sure and turn
them over, and always leave room in
the bag for swelling.
STALE BREAD.
We must tell, for the lessons Of econ.
omy it teaches, how we used up three
loaves of bread which were unfit for
the tableby their not being allowed to
rise quite enough before putting them
into the oven. We put them away
for a day to allow them to become
somewhat stale, then we commenced
First, we made g. bread
pudding with plenty of raisins in it
and cinnamon for favoring; them we
had milk toast for tea, with baked
sweet potatoes and beefsteak. The
day after for an entree at dinner; we
had slices of bread dipped into egg and
fried delicate brown in butter. Then
the pieces that were left were dried
and used for the dressing for large
chicken, and there being still O. little
more to dispose of, a cup of finely
rolled crumbs were mixed with cocoa
nut and made into pudding. So
