Paste Made From
MuSCadine Cranes

All kinds of fruits make delicious
pastes which are more wholesome
than candy and which may be served
in it's place. One of the best favored
varieties of fruit paste is made from
the muscadine grape. When these
grapes aer available the wise house

The pulp left when making jelly or
grape juice, furnishes an ideal basis
for the paste. Full directions on how
to make it and different ways to
utilize it may be had by writing the
