To Cook Fresh Fruit.

Cooked fruits are especially good for
delicate appetiteS and digestion. Raw
fruits are for those who are stronger
and can get all the benefit from them /;
the benefit is diminished by cooking.
The best way of cooking fruit is not
by boiling, but by simmering. In cook
ing very tender fruit bring the sirup
to the boiling point, then throw the
fruit in the hot sirup, cover tight, re-
move from the range or fire, and let 1t
stand for half an hour. This applies
particularly to berries.
To prepare larger fruit, throw it in
boiling sirup cover tight and leave it
five minutes on the range remove and
let it stand half an hour. One pound
of sugar to one quart of water, or a
pound to a pound, is the usual allow
ance for the strip.
