While the s%ucculent cherry is in evil
| aence, it is we'll to know all the ways
1t can be prepared for the table. Here
| are a few:
Frozen Cherries.
The cherries must be good and ripe
The dark red, sweet cherry or the placK
cherries are the best.
! quart cherries, pitted.
! quart water.
2 cups graduated sugar.
l tablespoon lemon juice.
Ice and salt.
Put the water and sugar into sauce
pan, put over fire and boil 5 minutes;
set aside to cool. Crush three cups OF
the cherries and strain through coarse
and lemon juice. If not sweet enough,
add more sugar. Put into freezer;
pack with ice and salt alternately;
churn s or 10 minutes; do not freeze
too hard. Pack with ice and salt, cover
with piece of burlap until ready to use.
Serve in ice cream glasses or sherbet
cups. To the one cup of pitter cherries
add u cup sugar set in cold place,
and when ready to serve the frozen
cherries put three or fou of the SUI
CARED cherries over the top.
Cherry Salad.
Cherry salad is very nice when you
use oXheart inc black Spanish cher
rieS.
l cup oxheart cherries, pitted.
l cup black Spanish cherries, pitted.
II cup marshmallows. -
y cup whipped cream.
Il cup ~mayonnaise.
The inside leaves of head Of lettuce.
Wash and stem the cherries, and
with pointed knife remove the pits and
insert a small piece of marshmallow.
Put the cherries on plate in cold place
until ready to use. Line bowl with
lettuce and lay the cherries on, first the
black and then the oxheart; cover with
the mayonnaise and then the whipped
cream; garnish with four or six whole
cherries. You can leave off the lettuce
and mayonnaise; sugar the cherries,
cover with the cream, and you have a
very nice dessert.
Canning Cherries.
The important point in canning
cherries is to have them perfect, no de-
cay snots. 1t is always best to plan
to make marmalade when canning;
then, when picking over the cherries,
those that are not perfect can be put
into another saucepan for the marma-
lade; when pitting, if there are spots,
remove them. Sour cherries are the
best for canning and marmalade.
Put the cherries in a large pan of
cold water, rinse well, put into colander
to drain, then stem and pit (they need
be pitted for canning if you do
not have the time). To each cup of
sugar add 1 cup of water; boil 8 min
