Fruits For
Breakfast
By Loretto G. Lynch.

wv HEN the fruit begins to be
w scarce on the city fruit
stands, often there is gem
eral letting up on the fruit course
at breakfast For with oranges at
10 and Is cents piece. says the
housewife, II simply can't afford
it,"
But there arc plenty OF other
fruits within the range Of even the
poor worr,an's purse, and the thrifty
housewife will look about and find
the cheaper kinds. The dried fruits,
dried as they are today. are one of
the real privileges OF the modern
home. Not only should you be ac-
quainted with dried peaches, Years,
and prunes, but you should also
know the dried plums, apricots,
seeded cherries and apples.
Dried fruit is more bother to pre-
pare than fresh fruit, but it is
cheaper, especially when fresh fruit
Is ont of season or has to be
brought from a great distance. But.
dried fruit is dirty. Even if it
looks clean and comes in a clean,
fancy package, nevertheless, it will
stand a thorough cleaning.
a new tooth brush will be found
convenient. Keep IT especially for
this purpose. Scrub each piece OF
the fruit with this brush and luke
warm water. Several waters may
be needed. The last rinsing water
should be clear. Then put the fruit
to soak in clean water. Cover the
vessel containing the soaking fruit
to keep out dust. Put the fruit to
stew in the water in which II has
soaked
precaution to give the fruit this
thorough cleansing. Some cannot
believe it necessary. But viewed
under the microscope. the fruit Is
very dirty and you surely would
not care to eat II yourself or give
II to the family IL you could see It
under the microscope. 1t is a mis-
take to throw of the water in
which the fruit has soaked as this
contains some OF the mineral salts
and much OF the fruit juice and
flavor.
Stew the fruit very slowly, to de-
velop the natural flavor, adding the
sugar toward the end OF the cook
ing. Less sugar Is required IL II
is added at the end. Cooking causes
sugar to lose some OF its sweetness.
Not enough housekeepers use
stewed raisins. These should be
cleaned with the brush and soaked
and stewed. They. of course, re-
quirc no sugar. but are improved
by the addition OF little lemon
juice or rind during the cooking.
