Kitchen Bouquet
Take a cup of granulated sugar, put
Il in an iron saucepan over an even
fire and stir it around until it is rich
golden brown. This is the only part
recurring great care, as it can be burnt
IN a
desired shade is secured, add two cups of
cold water and stir until all the sugar Is
dissolved. Then put In sliced carrot,
an onion, stalk of celery, a good sized
pinch of sweet marjorum, thyme and any
other savory herb you may have on
hand. Add good sized pinch Of salt
and a dash of cayenne pepper. Let all
boil until the vegetables are in shreds.
Then take 1t from the stove and strain 1t
carefully and bottle 1t for use. 1t
should be of the consistency of thin
cream and will keep indefinitely.
This bouquet Is used for flavoring and
coloring stock, soups. gravies and
sauces.
The making of home made hayoring
10 give palatableness and savoriHess to
viands. need not entail much labor.
For cakes, puddings and sauces,
many new combinations may be used.
Lemon and vanilla is an old colonial
idea. just as is orange and lemon. Try
lemon havoring with peach, cherry,
apricot and mocha. Orange with rasp-
berry. pineapple. nutmeg and Gin
namon.
The French housewife has a dainty
and delicate way Of flavoring her cakes
that is a source of wonder and specula-

cakes in the usual manner and when
paints the surface of the cake with the
desired fiavoring, using a small camel s
hair brush. Oftentimes she uses two
or more favors on one cake. The icing
is then spread and both the icing ana
cake retain the full favoring. Try it
and you will find out how delicious 1t
can be. If John likes raspberry, flavor
one half of the cake with this and bal
ance with another flavor.
When making fruit salad dressing,
an indescribably good and delicate
havoring that will bring out the favors
Of the fruits used in the salad can be
made as follows:
One cup of sugar,
TtcO- thirds cup of todter.
Five lecel tablespoons of corn starch,
Juice of one large lemon,
Juice Of one medium sized orange.
Stir to dissolve the starch and sugar
and then bring to a boil and cook for
three minutes. Now add the yolk of
egg and beat hard. Fold in the stiffly
beaten white of egg and remove from
the fire. Let cool and then add
-Four drops of camilla,
Four drops of lemon ertrHct,
Three drops of nutmeg extract,
Two drops of cinnamon.
Beat and then add one half cup of
whipped cream or marshmallow whip
and serve.
Use small medicine dropper for
measuring the extracts; this not only
prevents over -havoring, but also stops
waste.
Blended favors are all delicious in
fruit cups, sherbets and fruit cocktails.
