STUFFED PEPPERS. = Mince enough cold chicken to make a cupful and mix With 1t two tablespoonfuls of minced cold boiled ham and one of melted butter. Select fine peppers of uniform size; re- move the stems so that the peppers will stand upright. Then cut piece from the blossom end large enough to allow you to dig out the seeds. Do tnis with pair of sharp scissors and do not let the seeds touch the sides of the peppers in with drawing them. The peculiarly pungent taste. unpleasant to many, lies in the seeds. Parboil the emptied shells for five minutes to make them yet more mild. Lay them then in ice water to make them firm enough to hold the stuffing. When they are cold wipe and arrange them in a buttered bake dish; fill with the prepared mixture and fit the scalded tops on again.
 Pour about them cup of chicken stock. made by thinning gravy from the roast
