FRUIT FOR THE
COLD DAYS
BY Hannah Wing

~ VEN IL winter has come it's
possible and necessary to
keep up the fruit habit.
The citrus fruits may be bit
expensive for the everyday and
twice-a-day diet. and the supply
of canned fruit may become mo-
notonous. This is an excellent
time to fall back on the fruits
available in dried form.
Prunes, peaches and apricots
have excellent mineral and me-
dicinal properties, and II well
prepared take second place to
none for flavor. To treat them
right and give them a fair chance
they must be given back the
water that has been taken from
them.
To do this takes time. Soaking
overnight in plenty Of water. A
quart and a half Of water to q
cup. of fruit is none too much and
is essential, but more important
is to cook the fruit in the water
in which it has soaked. This
saves any materials or flavor
that may have soaked out OF the
fruit. Dried fruits should be
simmered never boiled and cook
ed thus slowly for q long time.
A fireless cooker is an excellent
method for cooking dried fruits,
sharpened by cooking a thin
slice or two Of lemon with them.
The full value and flavor OF
these fruits are gained II they are
prepared for use as pulp. For
this purpose they may be steam
ed until tender and run through
a sieve. The pulp Of either
prunes, apricots or peaches makes
a fine, tasty whip, souffle, ice or
tart.
Apricots are popular in Bava-
rian creams made from one cup
stewed apricot pulp, one table
spoon of granulated gelatin, one
half cup cold water, two-thiris
cup of sugar, Juice Of half lemon
and a cup Of heavy cream. The
gelatin should be softened and
dissolved over heat before add
ing It to the fruit pulp. Juice and
sugar. Stir we'll and chill. When
the mixture thickens fold in the
stiffly beaten cream. Mold and
serve with thin cream or soft
custard.
These steamed fruits make fine
salads In combination with cream
cheese and tart salad dressing.
A good luncheon salad Of this
type is made from steamed prunes
soaked over night in water, steam
ed until tender, the stones re-
moved, and the centers filled with
cream cheese and the prunes rolled
in peanut butter thinned with
cream and then rolled in minced
nuts. These steamed fruits are
also cut in bits and used in
breads, coffee cakes, tea mullins
or fruit cookies.

the concrete slabbing which was used
where traffic made it necessary to
good road upkeep.
No small amount of time and money
has been spent in making the high
ways of Colorado better each year,
and with the recent appropriations
made by Congress to this end, each
state getting its apportionment, it is
to be hoped that throughout our fair

they will call forth words of praise
from those who travel over them.

Delta Woman's Club Getting
Ready for Big Doings

The Executive Board of the Delta
Womans club has already begun
plans for holding the State Federation
of Womans clubs here, the dates of
which have been set for September
80. October /, 2 and g.
Federated clubs from all over the
state will be represented and several
hundred delegates will attend. This is
by far the most important event ever
scheduled for Delta and it will only be
by cooperation on the part of other
clubs of the county that the affair can
be handled. These have offered their
unlimited support, so the ladies feel
that it can easily be handled.
While definite arrangements have
not been made as yet, it is expected
that the high school auditorium will
be employed for the evening sessions,
and the Methodist church for the
business meetings during the day.
The local committee will work in
conjunction with a committee from
the state federation in arranging the
program. details of which will be pub
hshed later.
