FRUIT DESSERTS NOW IN FAVOR

The season for fruit is all too short
and the housewife tries to make use of
it as often as possible. Just now the
market is glutted with domestic fruit
the country over. Raspberries. hue
kleberries, peaches, new summer APP
pies, watermelon. cantaleoupes, cher
ries, all sorts of plums, gooseberries,
late currants and apricots are to be
had at reasonable prices. while ba-
nanas and pineapples. among the i'm
ported fruits, are sometimes desira BILE
to use in combination with the do
nestle article.
For breakfast fresh fruit only should
be served, and there is nothing better
for this meal than oantaloupes chilled.
But for luncheon or tea stewed fruits
are sometimes more palatable than
raw, and richer combinations, such as
fruit with buildings, are often in de-
mand for dinner. Gooseberries, stewed
and sweetened with a liberal hand,
make a delicious luncheon dish. The
tart cherries used for the pie have full
ly as nice a flavor as if stewed and
sweetened for a luncheon or tea dish
Green apples, the terror of homemak-
ers, lend themselves admirably to many
desserts. Here are some receipts for
cooking new apples and preserving
the flavor, which children, big and lit
tie, like.
Apple Snow-Pare and core two large
tart apples, bake without browning un-
til they are soft. Turn into a good sized
bowl and pour over them small cup
of pulverized sugar. Break into this
mixture the whites of two eggs and
beat together constantly with a fiat
spoon or egg beater for half an hour.
By this time the mixture will look like
driven snow. Pour it into a mold and
when ready to serve turn il into a fat
glass dish or compete and pour around
1t an egg custard or whipped cream.
Baked Apple Dumplings. - One
quart -four, one cup sweet milk, one
half cup of butter two heaping tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. Peel
and quarter six tart apples. Roll the
crust thin and cut il into six parts.
Pinch securely over the apples; place
in a. pan and pour over all a rich
syrup of sugar and water Serve with
cream.
New England Apple Pie.-Fnl a
deep baking dish with apples sliced
thin and sprinkle with white sugar
and nutmeg or bits Of lemon, and
here and there tiny bit of butter.
If the apples are dry add a little wat
er. Make enough biscuit dough to
cover the top of the dish, as follows:
One quart -four, into which is sifted
two teaspoonfuls Of baking powder
and one teaspoonful Of salt, adding
one and one-half tablespoonfuls of
butter and one and one-half cups of
milk, good measure. Roll in a sheet
not too thick, making a hole or slash
in the center. Lay 1t over the pan and
bake in a moderate oven for not less
than half an hour An oven that will
require forty-fve minutes is better II
the pie was favored with nutmeg,
serve II with milk In which maple
sugar has been dissolved. If the fam
lily must have pie, this is the very best
way in which TO serve it, as the fruit
appears in a larger proportion than
the crust.
Apple Taploca.-Soak a cup of very
fine taploca in three cups of cold wat
er over night EARLY the next morn
ing turn It into double boiler and
cook until transparent Have ready,
pared and cored one-half dozen juicy
apples. Pack them In a deep dish,
pour over them the tapioca, cover the
dish tightly and bake In a moderate
oven until the apples are transparent
and tender. which will probably take
about thirty minutes. Remove the
lid. heap the dish with q meringue
made from the whites of eggs and pull
verified sugar, brown TO a delicate
golden color and serve cold VITA
whipped cream.
Apple Custard.--Grate apples TO
make one pint OF pulp. Have ready
one pint Of milk heated IN the double
boiler TO the boiling point Beat the
volks OF four eggs with one-half cup
of sugar. pour over them bit by bit the
hot milk return the mixture to the
double boiler and cook until the GUS
tard IS like cream. Take from the FIRE
and add the apple bit by Bit and when
ID has an been added turn into o glass
or china pudding dish. Beat the whites
OF the eggs atff with three tablespoon
fuls Of powdered sugar and pile that
