CHOCOLATE SIRUP: PICKLES.
THANKS to Mrs. E. W, Washington. J
Here is the recipe for chocolate
sauce requested by one of your read
ers. 1t is the "1-l12-and 2" recipe
I have used for several years:
l cup cocoa
Ia cups sugar.
2 cups water.
Mix and let boil for 5 minutes
This makes a thin sirup for use in
milk. and thicker sirup may be OBJ
tanned by boiling longer.
I would like a recipe for cucumber
pickles and chunk" pickles (sour>,

to me very educational Thank you
