Contributes Fine
Recipe For
Sherbet

Feeling that perhaps many Wom-
en- will be interested in a recipe
for pineapple sherbet that is easy
to make in an automatic refriger-
ator, Mrs j. w. Donohue has sub
mitted one which she finds perfect.
This recipe calls for the follow
ing ingredients:
2 cups buttermilk
! cup crushed pineapple
q cup sugar, or slightly less if
preferred
/, tsp. vanilla extract.
These are mixed together, placed
in a tray in the automatic refriger-
ator, where they are kept until the
mixture is frozen TO the mushy
stage. 1t is then removed, stirred
and two stiffly beaten egg whites
are folded in, and returned To
the refrigerator for freezing. Nc
additional stirring is needed and
the recipe, with its buttermilk, is
valuable for those on 4 diet.
