Cooking In a Jar.

Not until she has tried It will a
housekeeper realize how delicious are
vegetables and fruits cooked in a Jar
in the oven rather than on top Of the
stove. AS little water as possible

the foodstuff is retained. A casserole
answers admirably for vegetables or
fruits prepared in this way Apple
sauce, rhubarb, prunes and beans are
some of the things which are really
excellent cooked In the oven. The
process is simple for the housewife.
