Fruit Peel
Candy

Maybe you think only the girls
like to make candy-if so, you're
wrong. The man who likes to COM
mand the kitchen range in his own
home usually has a sweet tooth that
is well developed and enjoys being
able to satisfy it in his own way. To
prove my statement, let me add that
the best recipe ever got for marsh
mallows was sent me by a masculine
acquaintance, and it was none OF
your thrown together in-a-hurry-
gelatine affairs, either, but was made
according to the good old tradition
with real gum arabic bought from
the drugstore. If you'd like it, by
the way, write me, in care of The
Evening Star, sending Scent
stamped, self-addressed envelope
and I'll be glad to send you the
recipe.
In the meantime, here's sugges-
ton for putting up orange and
grapefruit peel for the holidays.
Cover the orange or grapefruit
shells with cold water, wash well and
scrape off any pulp particles or
membrane. Cut the peel into strips
about "a inch wide, from the stem to
the blossom end. For grapefruit
shells or 6 orange shells, cover with
cold water and add tablespoon salt.
Now boil the peels for Is minutes,
pour off water and add fresh, un-
salted water. Boil for 20 minutes,
change water (again fresh) and boil
for another 20 minutes. After this
third boiling, drain the shells well
and cover with az cups granulated
sugar and cup water. Simmer the
peels in this, stirring all the while,
until the sirup boils away. Spread
on waxed paper and roll each piece
of peel in granulated sugar until it
is well covered. Set aside to dry out
somewhat before putting in COW
cred container. G. A.

80 minutes to the pound. Baste 1t
every Is minutes with oil or melted
butter, at the same time dredging
it lightly with flour and once or
twice with salt and pepper. When
the pig is done, remove It to plat
ter, put cranberries in the eyesockets,
a lady" apple In its mouth and
wreath the platter with laurel leaves.
(All florists have them)
Cinnamon apples and tomatoes
stuffed with mincemeat and baked,
also may be added to the platter.
The onion stuffing is made like
this: peeled onions are parboiled
for 10 minutes. Two teaspoons of
poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and
paprika to taste are added and the
onions are cooked for minutes
more. Then they are drained,
chopped and added to cups stale
bread crumbs, together with one egg,
lightly beaten, and "a cup butter or
margarine. These are all mixed
thoroughly and stuffed into the pig.
Remember that roast pig is one of
the richest, "fattest" meats IN ex-
istence and plan your menu accord
ingly, being sure to serve enough
crisp, tart dishes that will Offset the
"pOrker"

Little Roast PIC

Men who delve In such matters
will tell you that the custom Of sery-
ing little roast pig at Christmas
or New Year in this country may
stem directly from the far older one
Of bringing in the boar's head" at
the great medieval feasts of the Old
World. It is, indeed, probable that
as the boar's head was more highly
regarded as an item of pageantry
and symbol of the chase, than 1t was
as matter OF food, the diners in
those far-off days enjoyed sucking
pig along with all the other SUBJ
stantial meats served at these lavish
banquets.
The boar itself had been killed as
the result of hunt with spears and
hounds, followed usually on horse
back by the ladies and gentlemen OF
the court or castle. 1t was brought
into the feast following the passing
about OF the wassail bowl land just
after the lighting Of the Yule log
before the banquet proper began
Carrying the head was considered q
great honor and the Seryitor for the
job was justly proud Of his selection
He was preceded In his triumphal
tour around the enormous hall by
pages and trumpeters and another
servitor carrying the bloody sword
or spear with which the boar finally
had been slain. The head was sci
upon large silver platter, garlande6
with rosemary and laurel, with q
lemon thrust between its grinnine
jaws.
Probably, after the head had beer
duly admired, another train of page:

one Of the best appetizers in the

appetizer-one is apt to go on eat
ing shrimp until far into the night)
Other cities also may boast Of this
delightful creation, but, so far, I
have only encountered these shrimps
in the two places mentioned.
Most of the restaurants are loath
to give away the secret OF their
preparation. But some home ex-
Fermentation indicates the recipes
must go something like this:

stories these days, purporting to de-
bunk the craze about vitamins, just
remember that they are aimed at the
vitamin pill users who have self

Vitamins ARE essential to we'll
being, but the point being made is
that if you will eat properly bal
anced and comprehensive diet you
should get enough of them to keep
you healthy-unless there is some
real deficiency, in which case your
doctor should be the one to advise
dosage. -. The Transportation Corps

turn on the kitchen spit (probably
turned by that poor dog we men,
toned last week) and each garland

small pigs had little apples in their

plenty Of meats, no points, and not
one, but dozens of cooks to cook and
walters to serve!
Although there is no telling as we
write this just what the setup will be
on little sucking pigs in this year of
grace, 1914, it's fun to think about
cooking one for our Christmas or
New Year dinner, just in case such
a windfall should come our way!
II there is possibility that you will
be able to buy one, / advise putting
in your order wen in advance.
The pig will probably weigh from
l8 to IL pounds and the butcher will
clean and dress 1t for you. Wash
the pig well inside and out, rub the
inside with salt and stuff with any
good stuffing onion is the one I
prefer. Sew up the cavity to hold
the stuffing in, and put a wood
block or large spool in the pigs jaws
to keep them open. Pull the front
legs forward and the hind legs back
and skewer them into position Now
rub the pig all over with a cut Glove
of garlic and a little oil or butter
and dredge lightly with flour. Cover
the ears with strips of salt pork or
creased paper. (These should be
removed for the last 80 minutes of
roasting)
Put the pig in roaster in hot
oven for Is minutes, then reduce the
heat to moderate and roast the pig

POMANDERS:
EGG WHITES.

(Thdnks to S. L. H., Washington
I noticed in the column a ques-
ton about pomandefs and have also
had it in mind to help the lady with
extra egg whites, if could, so here
goes!
Just recently my small son and
(when he was sick in bed for a few
days made several pomanders very
successfully. We made holes in the
oranges with pins and thus inserted
the cloves more easily. We used a
whole box of cloves for each orange
and they were the smallest oranges
I could find. There should be as
little space as possible between
cloves and you should not allow an
unfinished pomander to stand for
long, such as overnight. They re-
quire about two weeks in a dry place,
turning occasionally, to dry out and
become light enough to hang in the
closet, and all this time they give
forth their delicious clean spicy
odor. We did not roll ours in any
powder. Hope the lady has better
luck next time.
I am looking forward to the day
when I'll have surplus egg whites
again. There are so many excellent
uses for them. My favorites are:
Meringues-Beat whites until
stiff, add tablespoons of sugar to
each egg white gradually, constant
ly beating Drop by spoonfuls on a
baking sheet and bake in a slow
oven about 275 degrees for about an
hour or until lightly Drowned. One
egg white makes one pair. Serve
with ice cream and chocolate or
caramel sauce, or whipped cream

If you can make it, or use any fruit
sauce. This is real party treat.
Gelatin desserts can be varied by
whipping the gelatin when it begins
to CONCEAL and folding in a stiff1y
beaten egg white or two. Makes a
more delicate flavor and coloring.
In these days of very little cream
for whipping, egg whites may often
be substituted. They are nice folded
into mashed potatoes. Or add a
can of baby's prunes popped up
with little lemon juice and sugar
to some beaten whites-serve with
custard sauce. I have even added
them to drop cookie batters with
interesting (and generally good re-
suits. In summer, they are a neces-

cloves and less time. Completely

for a few weeks to dry and become
very light in weight. I like to pick it
