RECIPE FOR MAX
ing "APPlE ALLIES

A woman of Wenatchee last week
took the train for Seattle, carrying in
her grip several little cardboard boxes,
and in those boxes slices of apples,
sugary, lucidly transparent, crystalline
like amber quartz, and she had chris
tened them "Apple Allies" Patriotic
Mrs. Cameron was not mistaken in the
practical nature of her idea. She had
found something something bigger
than new breakfast food. And with
in six hours of her arrival in Seattle,
group of the biggest apple men in
America had listened to her story, ac-
cepted the idea, voted the money for
publicity. the advertising men were set
to work, and America was assured of
another wholesome food novelty, brand
new, different, and altogether of the
highest Importance.
The Apple Allies can be made by
novice. The recipe is as follows, and
calls for really sound, good apples,
preferably of the Jonathan, Spitzen-
burg, Rome Beauty or Winesap varie-
ties:
Make syrup of two cups granulated
sugar, one cup water, bring to boil.
Have ready one medium sized apple,
pared, cored, each quarter cut into
three pieces. Drop the IL pieces in
the now boiling syrup, and allow to
cook or boil therein until they are all
transparent and tender. easily pierced
with a straw. Remove from kettle,
drain and place on waxed paper or
platter. Allow to remain "a hours,
then roll the Allies in granulated su-
gar; roll twice again at intervals of "a
hours. If moisture accumulates on
waxed paper renew it. Allow Allies
after the third rolling to remain on
platter until dry; keep them in dry
place thereafter exposed to air, turn
ing from time to time. The amount of
syrup stated will make five dozen
Skookum Apple Allies, five apples be-
ing used. Add boiling water to syrup.
as it thickens, to maintain original
consistency. When all dry and crys-
talline in appearance pack in candy or
other box and send away to ''your boy
in khaki" or send it east for Christ
mas. You may garnish with Red Al
lies, cut in small pieces, made by put
thug vegetable coloring in syrup.
