MADE FROM MELONS
OAINTIEs WITH WHICH ALL ARE
NOT FAMILIAR.
Recipes for sherbets From the Fruit
and Preserves From the Rind-
The Proper Way to Serve
Canteioupe.

Tempting sherbets are made from
both canteloupe and watermelon.
There are conserves to be made OF
the rinds. perhaps in combination with
another fruit or a vegetable. There
are salads which may be concocted
by adding to melons. cut into small
cubes. a sprinkling of nuts and q
spoonful of mayonnaise.
But first catch your melon. A ripe
canteloupe can be told by an examina-
ton of the stem end. Break small
piece from this and see If the melon
Is fragrant II 1t smells spicy the
melon is ripe. 1t is a mistake to put
Ice into canteloupe. as is generally
done. This takes away considerably
from the sweetness of the melon meat.
The canteloupe should be served in q
bed Of cracked ice. A toothsome des-
sert is made by filling a canteloupe
skin with vanilla ice cream and pour
ing over To- ice cream a mild ginger
syrup.
For Watermelon Sherbet-Boil q
pound of sugar and quart of water
together for 10 minutes. Add two
tablespoonfuls of gelatine which has
been soaked In q half cupful of cold
water for an hour, then when dis
solved. strain and pour into the freez-
or. Add one pint of orange Juice and
freeze. When nearly frozen add two
cupfuls Of pink watermelon dice. and
let stand packed in ice and salt for
an hour and a half. %
In making canteloupe sherbet, soak
one teaspoonful of gelatine In a half
cup Of cold water for an hour. Add
one-half cup boiling water. When the
gelatine is quite dissolved. add one
cupful Of cold water, three-fourths
cup Of sugar. and the mashed pulp
and Juice of q melon about the size Of
q cocoanut
Picked canteloupes are not found
on the average table. But they GER
tainly deserve a place there. These
belong to the sweet pickle variety.
Select melons not quite ripe. Cut into
oblong pieces, take OF the rind and
soft parts near the seeds. To every
eight pounds Of melon allow one pint
vinegar md three pounds of sugar.
Mix half a teaspoonful each ground
mace and cloves and one teaspoonful
each cinnamon, ginger and allspice.
Tie In little piece of cheesecloth and
scald with the vinegar. Cook the
melons in the hot syrup until tender,
then skim out into a bowl. Boil the
liquor down and pour over the melon.
Repeat this three or four times. and
the last time heat the melon with the
syrup. Put into jars and seal.
An excellent conserve Of melon rinds
can be made. Pare OF the green part
OF the melon rind and all the pink, cut
into inch pieces. shaping as desired
and weigh. For five pounds of the
rind allow one quart of water and q
pint OF vinegar. Scald the water and
vinegar. add the rind and boil 10 min.
utes. Remove the rind with q skim.
mer and drain perfectly dry.
Place In the preserving kettle a pint
Of water and 3k pounds of sugar. Boil.
skim. add the melon pieces and two
ounces green ginger cut in slices.
Cook until the melon is clear and ten
der, remove with q skinner and put
In glass Jars. Boil the syrup 10 or
