Cherries are ripe! Let's have a
piep' Is probably exclaimed in hun
dreds Of homes as soon as the remark
happens to fit the growing season.
The family fortunate enough to have
a cherry tree in the garden can count
on many delicious desserts as we'll as
cherry pie, whether the cherries are
sweet or sour, black, white or red.
Even when the cherries have to be
bought, 1t pays to use them at tile
height Of their season when they are
freshest and cheapest. They may be
served in place of, or in addition to
other fruits, for the sake of a change
of flavor.
Every housekeeper has her own way
Of making cherry pie; not every one
however, knows the secret Of making
juicy fruit pie with crisp under
crust. Here are several suggestions
furnished by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to insure sue
cess: Prebake the undercrust until 1t
is delicately colored, but not too
brown, or 1t will be overlooked around
the edges when the filling has been
put in and the final cooking Is done.
Thicker the Juice slightly with -four.
Moisten the rim when laying the top
crust In place and tuck the edge in
carefully so that the juice will not leak
out. Prick the crust to allow steam
to escape.
For cherry tarts, make any desired
pastry, and bake the shells on the out
side Of muffin pans. Cook the fruit
only long enough to dissolve the sugar,
thickening the Juice little If desired.
Fill the cases with the cooked cher
ries. An extra touch may be given by
adding a meringue or a spoonful Of
whipped cream.
