Prunes and ehestnuts, cooked together,

Prunes and chestnuts, cooked together,
are really scrumptious. How many times
we have laughed at prunes In this col
mn. and how many times have we as
surcd our readers that we would never
suggest prunes to them for any occasion
or In any form. But that was before
Mrs. Lewis Lederer. of Baltimore, told
us how to transform them so to her we
will all don our culinary caps.
Prunes and chestnuts-Soak one pound
of the finest pfunes In enough water to
cover them when they nre plump heat
them In this liquor and let them sim
mer gently until tender.
In another vessel cook n pint of skin
ned and blanched Italian chestnuts in
boiling water until they are soft enough
to crush easily with a fork. Just before
serving put the drained ehestnuts in the
sauce pan with the prunes now add two
tablespoons of vinegar, three tablespoons
of brown sugar and one teaspoon of dis
solved cornstarch. Let this boil up again
and then cook three minutes longer.
Another recipe Mrs. Lederer intro
duced to us that we want to present to
our readers is chicken and rice curry
with c%ocoanut. Like monkeys that warm
their hands by fires that they have not
sense enough to make, tourists return
wear after year and tell with rapture OF
the chicken dishes they hav eaten in
countries where curry and cocoanuts are
both used largely In cooking, but few of
the returned nave had the sagaeity to
secure the recipes for themselves. One
cannot eat these spicy meat combinations
without wondering how America can do
without them or write about them with
out feeling n pleasant tingling of the
palate and a craving sensation just be-
low the thora.
Put a tablespoon OF chicken fat or
n teaspoon of lard aud one of butter,
two large onions cut fine and a half
cup of water into a vessel and sim
mer this until the onions are tender and
nest of the water evaporated, then add
a chicken, iointed as for frying dit need
not be so tender, as for broiling or fry
ing). two tablespoons of Bengal curry
powder and the milk from one cocoanut;
shreds, A casserole or any covered
baking dish Is the proper sort OF a re-
ceptacle. The coeoanut milk is OBJ
tnlned. II yon have not a whole fresh
nut with the milk In il, by putting a
pint of grated %cocoanut into a muslin
bag aud pouring i pint and a half OF
boiling water oyer 1t; knead this with a
wooden spoon lmtil the water looks like
cream.
While the. curry. chicken aud coconnut
are cooking prepare the rice. Well
cooked rice Is SO simple to make that
Il seems strange that the soggy, pasty,
water-soaked %eoncoction called rice
should ever be served on a FAMILY table.
