The Use Of Grapes.

| McCall's: Here in America the
grape was very early brought over
| from France and other countries and
SO important was it's cultivation con-
sidered that the charters of many of
the colonies contained inducements to
anyone who would plant a vineyard.
There are so many ways in which
| the housewife may use grapes that
lit is difficult to determine which is
the most attractive They may be
used as a garnish to the beautiful
baskets of fruit of the Thanksgiving
and harvest home festival tables. A
large bunch placed on a cake of ice in
a punch bowl makes the cool cup
doubly inviting AS for the drink IT.
self, grape juice may be used alone
or in combination with other fruit
juices.
Now that prohibition Is fact in our
country, in many recipes which have
contained wine. grape juice may be
used as a perfect substitute. Try
basting your roasting ham, all sorts
of game and guinea fowl with a few
'tablespoonfuls of grape juice or spiced
cape jelly in the fat. When you are
preparing grapefruit for the table, sub
stitute grape juice in place of wine
flavor and in your sauces, liquid and
hard, grape juice may be successfully
used.
Some housewives bottle their grape
juice and make their jelly fresh as
occasion requires. If this is to be
successful, it is necessary to be assur-
ed of pectin in the grape juice, so it
would be wiser to have at least half
of the juice made from unripe grapes
