CRANBERRY SAUCE AND JELLY
Best Way to Prepare Them for Those
Who Like This Condiment With
Their Birds.

Cranberries are in the market now,
and there are many who prefer their
tart sweetness to any other sauce
with birds, says New York Sun
writer. They are best when iellied,
and should never be sent to the table
In any form without being strained
free of skins. An excellent way to
jelly these berries so that their deli
cacy and crisp flavor shall be pre-
served is the following:
Pick over and wash two quarts OF
c-anberries; put them In a saucepan
with cold water. Stew the fruit over
slow fire until it may be pressed
through n fine sieve. To each pint of
the pulp add a pound OF fine white
sugar; then place over the fire to boil,
stirring briskly for about fifteen min
utes or until the jelly thickens on a
cool saucer. Then pour in molds and
let 1t stand till firm.
This jelly is also an ideal accom-
paniment for the broiled or planked
spring turkey or guinea fowl. The
birds are at their very best now when
they are small and young. They
should be well buttered and bits of
bacon pinned over them for either
planking or broiling. Very hot plates
and plenty of best quality butter are
necessary for the perfect service of
birds
