THE
SALTED NUTS

Sailed nuts are an excellent
choice to serve after the dinner
when other connections are apt
to leave a cloying sweetness. Pea
nuts and almonds are the nuts
most commonly selected for salt
ing although there is no reason
for limiting the selection to these
varieties for almost any kind Of
nut may be used.
Whether you purchase nuts for
sailing, shelIed or in the shell,
be sure they are fresh and free
from insects. Pecans are difficult
to remove from the shells whole
and are perhaps best purchased
shelled. Peanuts for sailing should,
Of course, be purchased raw. The
shelled nuts should next be
blanched. This is easily accom-
pliShed. Place the nuts in q
pan or bowl, pour boiling water
over them and allow them to
stand two minutes. Then drain
off the water and run cold water
through them until they are
cool enough to handle. The skins
may be readily slipped off with
the fingers. Filberts and pistachio
nuts may need to stand in the
boiling water from three to five
minutes in order to remove the
skins easily. After removing skins,
dry carefully with a towel.

CAME DINNERS
IN ORDER

TNI1E frost may be on the pump
L kin and all that sort of thing
these days but the vital question
to your amateur huntsmar1 is
whether the ducks are flying,
and where.
Game foods have come into
their own again as the seasons
have rolled around. Aside from
the comparative inconvenience
Of occasionally biting into q pei
let of lead-the sportsman will
laugh off losing tooth that way
game foods have an appeal
that has nothing to do with their
exceptional SAVIOR. The primitive
instinct to sally forth and slay
provender for the family board
is deep in the most civilized of
men. And the duck that q man
himself has shot tastes sweeter
to him than ambroSia. It Is
squarely UP to the wise wife to
humor the brute, pick the feath-
erS and clean the ducks and cere-
monially serve the game dinner.
Veteran wives Of seasoned hunt
ers learn many tricks about the
cooking Of game that aren't in
cook books. Here is one thing to
be careful about: game shot In
the warm Indian Summer days
are apt to spoil if not promptly
taken care of when the hunter
returns. Cold weather bags are
not 50 important from this stand
point.

PUDDlNGS TOLD

According to tradition, the
Christmas pudding held potent
charms for all who tasted 1t. Fol
the superstition existed that II
was unlucky to eat it before Christ
mas Day, and that each pudding
sampled in the days following
would bring good fortune for 9
month. For the best fortune
then, one tasted at least IL pud
nlngs, preferably those made By
friends or neighbors. 1t was fur
Their believed that any wish that
was expressed while eating the first
spoonful would be fulfilled during
the year. From this superstition
arose the old Yorkshire saying
In as many homes as you cal
Plum pudding in the IL days fol
lowing Christmas, so many happy
months you will have in the year.
just when plum pudding was
first introduced is difficult to dis
cover Certainly its original form
was very different from what 1t Is
today. In the records which have
been preserved we find barely
enough facts to enable us to piece
together the evolution Of this ia.
nous dish. The gaps allow ample
room for the most vivid magma
ton. Going beck to some Of the
earliest records, we find mention
on the old rhyming bill Of fare Of
"furmety' or 'frInenty." This was
wheat boiled until the grains
burst, then cooled, strained and
boiled again with broth or milk
and yolks Of eggs; it was offered
as the accompaniment with fat
Venison and fresh mutton.
Later we find raiSins, sugar,
and spices added and the whole
served as the regulation Christ
mas Eve supper in rural parts Of
Yorkshire. Plum-porridge, an vad-
vance over this dish, became in
England the customary first
course at Christmas. It was pre-
pared by boiling beef or mutton
with broth thickened by brown
bread. When half cooked, prunes,
eurrantS, raisinS, cloves, ginger,
cinnamon and other spices we're
added, and after the mixture had
been thoroughly boiled, it was
served with the meat course.
"Plum-squaSh" and big Duff
Or Plum Duff" were terms given
BY the Saxons and Danes to their
plum buildings. The plums or
prllnes of the old recipes have
been supplanted gradually by raj
sins. Plum pudding, in anything
like its present form, did not APP
pear in cookery books before
h6T5.
The most recent changes In
the evolution of the plum pud-
ding have to do not so much with
the ingredients as with the
method Of cookery. The pudding
cloth and boiler have given way
to modern molds and steamers.
In the shops of today are
found many attractive molds for
steaming both individual and
large puddings. These should
have tight-fitting covers. # you
do not have a mold of this type,
It is possible to use tins such

baking-powder are packed. Or,
IL desired, cuStard cups or bowls
may be used just as successfully.
In this case, they must be COW
cred with moisture-proof paper,
securely fastened so that no
moisture can get into the pudding
while 1t Is steaming. Lack Of the
regulation steamer does not mean
that one must forego the delight
of making the Christmas pudding,
for an excellent steamer can be
improvised from a large covered
utensil, or from covered rooster.
In order to insure light, ten

pride In serving, it is necessary
to observe q few fundamental
rules that apply to the steaming
of all puddings. In the first
place, grease the moldS thor
oughly. the inside Of the cover
as well as the body Of the mold
Fill the mold not more than two
thirds full, so that the pudding
may have ample room to rise.
Do not allow the mold to rest
on the bottom Of the cooker.
Place 1t on q rack, an inverted
perforated pie plate, trivet, or
similar device so that the steam.
can get all around the pudding.
The water in the steamer must
be boiling when the pudding is
placed in it. Remember that
this water must not cease boiling
from the time the pudding Is put
in until it Is taken out.
It is important, therefore, that
enough water be put into the
steamer in the beginning so that
it will not be necessary to add
more water during the cooking.
It is wise to take the precaution
Of having at hand some boiling
water, so that IL for some reason
more water must be added, the
addition Of this water will not
stop the boiling process. When
necessary to do this, add the
water slowly. In order to cook
all the ingredients thoroughly,
sufficient time must be allowed
for Steaming.
