That Troublesome Meringue
The secret of making the meringue for
lemon pies so that it stands tall and thick,
is lnGnc DdklnE. WutD Jut WnltCo VI tilc
eggs to froth that will not fall out of the
bowl when turned upside down; put in
about a tablespoonful of graduated sugar
for white, stir very little, spread it on the
pieces when they are Just. done and still
baking hot without taking them out of
the oven and let them bake with the oven
open. If made hot enough to brown, the
meringue will surely fall and become worse
than nothing. Five or ten minutes is
enough to bake the meringue dry and
straw -colored. Sift graduated sugar on
the top of the meringue as soon as spread
on the pie before baking.
Picked Onions
Select as many as quart of water will
cover, boil in this short time, a half
cup OF salt put over them after: let them
remain twenty-four hours closely covered,
then place them between dry cloths, and
when cold put in stone jar and pour
over enough hot white vinegar to cover,
having first boiled it with two or three
bits of white ginger root and one-half
teaspoonful OF white pepper; cover tight.
Another way, which is also good: Take
small white onions, peel and soak them
nine days IN an earthen dish in two
quarts of boiling water, with one table,
spoon of salt added, changing the water
every morning, put them into bottles
with two small red peppers in each and
cold vinegar to cover them; cork and
seal tight with sealing wax.
Hot Slaw
Chop cabbage fine and sprinkle over
with flour. Put small piece of butter
in the oven to melt. Salt and pepper the
cabbage and put in the pafp%th the but
ter. Mix half teacupful cream, one egg,
tablespoonful mustard, teaspoonful sugar
and beat thoroughly. Serve warm.
