HONEY

The simplest and. perhaps, most
popular way of using honey is to serve
it like jam or syrup with bread, pan
cakes, etc. When used in this way
an ounce of honey may be regarded
as the equivalent of an ounce of jam.
When intended for syrup it is some
times diluted with hot water, not only
TO make ii less sweet but also easier
to pour. The housewife will also find
some form of tart fruit served with
honey. cottage cheese, and bread and
butter an attractive combination and
an economical substitute for the
much-prized and very expensive Bar
le-Duc currants which are themselves
often cooked in honey and served with
cream cheese and crackers. The fol-
lowing are typical of an almost end
