Preserved Peaches

after many and yexed calculations
and much comparison of prices, l have
arrived at the deliberate conclusion that.
unless a housemother's time is worth
more than mine is for 1 am in no sense
professional or artistic, 1t is cheaper to
put up ones own preserves than to buy
them. Will you kindly give me a recipe
for preserving peaches? III B. A."
Peel freestone peaches, remove the
stones, and weigh the fruit To pound
of fruit allow a pound of graduated su-
gar Put the peaches and sugar in alter
nate layers into a preserving kettle, and
set the kettle at the side Of the stove
where the contents will no scorch. Crack
a cup of the peach stones and take out
the kernels. Chop these fine, covered
with half pint of boiling water, and
cook for 10 minutes. Strain. pressing the
pits hard to extract the flavor. When the
stir into the peaches the water from the
boiled pits. Stew the fruit for about half
an hour, until tender and clear Re-
move the fruit to broad platters to cool
while you boil the strip hard for Is min
utes, or until it is thick. Skim off the
scum as it rises to the surface Put the
fruit into heated glass jars, filling them
to overlooking with the boiling LIQUID
and seal. / have put up many gallons of
peaches according to the rules set down
here. If you do not care for the flavor
ing impaired by the kernels they may be
omitted We prefer to leave them in
The preserves improves with keeping
when this is done. gaining mellowness
and fragrance with age.

Beer Seed

Someone has been inquiring in the
Fl. H. C. about mama. The following
is, I think, what is wanted, and even if
it is not, 1 thing she will find it a good,
refreshing drink in hot weather:
Beer seed: Take one-third cup of bar
ley and half cup of New Orleans mo-
lasses or brown sugar; add one quart of
tepid water and shake vigorously for a
minute or two. Put the mixture in a
two-quart jar, cover tightly and allow it
to stand in a warm place for "a hours.
Then it will be ready for use The bar
ley may the used two or three times,
but if you draw off the sweetened water,
the same amount must be added to the
beer seed. When the barley becomes the
least bit sour throw it away and start
some fresh and in a clean jar.
Hop beer: Scald two handfuls of hops
we'll in two quarts of water While this
is boiling, get a two-gallon crock and
put in it a small tablespoon of ground
ginger and two cups of brown sugar.
Put in cold water, enough to make six
quarts, then add two penny cakes of
yeast The water must be lukewarm
when you put in the yeast. Set in a
warm place and stir well. In two days
it is ready for use. Put on the ice. W."
We have published several communi
cations explanatory of the nature Of
mama, concerning which a correspon-
dent wrote some months ago. Yours is,
1 believe, the only recipe received for
making the beverage which the querist
said was a favorite drink in the family
OF a Swedish foremother We thank
you-and SO will the randdaughter-for
telling how to use the beer seed. Re
quests for directions for brewing beer at
home are likewise answered by your let
