Fruit and Nut.
Heat one package Of marshmallows
in a double boiler until they begin to
soften. stir in one-fourth cupful Of
finely chopped candied ginger and one
fourth cupful of grated cocoanut, and
continue stirring until well mixed. Re-
move from the fire and spread between
buttered slices OF graham or whole
wheat bread or graham crackers.
Grind together one boXful Of seeded
raisins and one boxful of desiccated
cocoanut. Moisten with q little lemon
juice or any kind Of fresh or canned
fruit Juice.
Slice four bananas thin and squeeze
the juice of half lemon over them. Let
them marinate in this for 20 minutes.
Cut the crust from thin oblongs OF
white bread, spread with a little thick
sweet cream that has been slightly
Sweetened and arrange the banana
slices neatly on the bread:
To make a mixed fruit filling, chop
equal amounts of candied pineapple and
cherries, some blanched almonds and
small piece of candied ginger and
moisten the mixture with pineapple
Juice or orange Juice. For another ex-
cellent fruit filling, mash equal parts
of raisins, candied cherries, figs, citron
and nuts and stir in a little orange
n1armalade.
Melt 10 marshmallows in O granite
dish in hot water, add two tablespoon
fulS of sirup from preserved ginger,
one tablespoonful of finely chopped
ginger and the same amount Of finely
ground walnutS or almonds. Mix well
together and spread on thin buttered
bread.
Take thin slices Of raisin bread, but
ter them and fill with fig filling pre-
pared as follows: One-haf pound Of
finely chopped figs, one-third cupful Of
sugar, half cupful Of boiling water
and two tablespoonfulS of lemon juice.
Mix and cook in a double boiler until
thick enough to spread.
Peanut butter is perhaps used as a
sandwich filling more than any other
material. When it is used alone, it is
little "choky." A mashed banana or
q little honey mixed with the peanut
butter makes a better sandwich.
Cheese waters spread with dates and
nuts that have been mashed to q paste
are always good, so are butter crackers
coated with mixture Of cottage cheese
ana blackberry jam, or with paste
made of cheese and apple butter
Nut butter is delicious filling for
sandwiches. To make it, shell ana
blanch any kind of nuts and grind
them to a powder before mixing them
with butter. The mixture should be
pounded until 1t is perfectly smooth.
