Strawberries

Everyone is glad to see fresl
strawberries coming in season.
In a very short time, the Delaware
crop will be ripe.
Good quality strawberries SHOULD
be medium to large in size, fulll
ripened. clean, and unbruised. Sof
watesy berries do not keep we'll.
Berry boxes should be free from
excessive juice stains. Boxes become
badly stained IL the berries are oveI
ripe or badly bruised.
Underdeyeloped, fiat, or misshap-
en- strawberries are usually seedy
and sour
Fresh Strawberries are particu-
larry rich in vitamin C. Since the
vitamin is dissolved in water. ber-
ries should not be soaked in water
for any length of time.
Fresh Strawberries in a bread pud-
ding Is a good way to persuade your
family to use leftover bread. Line
the bottom of a baking dish with
buttersd squares Of leftover bread
Cover with lightly crushed straw
berries and cover the top with more
buttered bread squares. Beat to-
gether three eggs, one-half cup su-
gar, and one teaspoon of vanilla. Add
four cups of scalded milk. or two
cups evaporated milk, and two cups
of water. Sci the baking pan in an
other pan OF hot water and bake in
a mOdei ate oven for thirty to forty
minutes. or until the custard is firm.
Everyone likes a dish of fresh
A variation of this is
the addition of sliced bananas and
a sprig of mint or chopped mint.
Leftover gelatin dessert can be cut
In cubes and added to such a fruit
cup.
Fresh strawberries combine well
with breakfast cereals. with other
fruits for a salad. or a fruit cup, and
with rice, tapioca, or cornstarch pud-
dings.
Whipped evaporated milk is an
economical substitute for whipped
cream on berries or shortcake. and
ii is more digestible for children.
The milk should be thoroughly chill
ed before beating. 1t may be scalded
before chilling. or lemon may be
added during the beating to make it
sitter.
Delaware strawberries are partic-
ularly good in quality. The straw
berry crop in this state usually
to about three fOuFths of a
million dollars
