Preserving Vegetable Marrow

Here is a recipe to preserve vegetable
marrow, taken from Mrs Beeton's Eng
lish Book of Household Management;
To Preserve Vegetable Marrows-
Peel some good marrows and take out the
seeds. Cut into pieces the size of large
walnut. Boil them with their weight OF
sugar until the pieces, which should be
sbapely, are transparent. Flavor with
leinon or ginger or both.
MRS. NJ. A. L. -
AS the American pumpkin may be treat
ell in like manner the recipe is not so
unreasonable as might appear at first
reading. The directions remind one of
those for preserving melon rind. and
fancy that the result resembles in ap-,
pearance these attractive sweetmeats. As
the recipe is taken from an English cook
book, 1t Is surely the correct one for pre-
pairing this essentially English article.

Some housewives bake the open crust be-

crust may be filed with dry bread crumbs
or bits of bread crust, then baked atter
which the crumbs are removed, the INSIDE

in the oven until the filling IS heated

I,xperience must teach you the proper

hotter than that for pound or fruit cakes.
These last must bake steadily but not

allows the batter to rise before any crust
