Cooking Dried Foods.

The palatability of dried foods de-
ponds largely upon the manner in
which they are prepared for serving.
In the process of drying fruits and
vegetables most of the water is re-
moved. This water must be supplied
In the process of preparation. The
best way to accomplish this is by soak
ing the products several hours, such
as over night, before they are cooked.
The product should always be cooked
In the water in which it has been
soaked, otherwise much food material
will be lost.
In cooking dried fruits and vegeta-
bles the slower and longer the process
the better the results. The long, slow
cooking not only makes a much more
plump and misunderstanding product
but lends a better flavor.
Directions for cooking dried fruits
and vegetables are summarized by
Miss Addie d. Root of the University
of Missouri college of agriculture, as
follows:
l.. Wash the product. 2. Soak sew.
eral hours, to replace the water which
has been dried out. 3. Cook slowly
several hours. 4. For fruits use as lit
tie water as possible and only a little
sugar. s.. If 1t is a fruit which has q
fiat taste, add a little lemon juice OF
a little cream of tartar. 6. Chopped
nuts may be sprinkled in stewed fruit
for variety and to increase the food
value.
