Dried Fruits.

1t is said that the reason why dried
fruits, and especially California dried
fruits, fail to give the satisfaction that
they should to the economical housewife il
because they are not soaked in water long
enough before cooking to restore the water
extracted from them by the drying process.
AS it requires considerable time to dry
fruits properly, it cannot be expected that
four or five hours will be sufficient for
cooking them as well as for the prelimi-
nary process Of soaking. The rules for cook
ing such fruits sent out by the san Jose
board of trade say that the fruits must ba
soaked in as much cold water as they will
absorb from "a to So hours. A pound OF
fruit is then swelled to three or four times
that quantity, and is to be simmered in
the water in which it was soaked until
tender. 1t should be kept closely covered
while cooking, and also after removing
from the fire until cold. The sugar should
be added a few minutes before the fruit ID
taken from the fire and allowed to boil up
once. Though a certain quantity of sugar
is given for each fruit it should, we think
depend on the taste of the family where il
is cooked, as some persons like tart and
others very sweet fruit.-New York Post
