Homemade
Chill Sauce

Maybe you've been checking up
on your home canning as done last
year, figuring on what to plant in
that Victory garden. And maybe
you've come across a few extra jars
of tomatoes-that you had put UP
at the end of the season and then
tucked away on spare shelf and
forgotten And maybe you don't
have enough blue points to buy all
the ready-made chilli sauce you want
so here's the answer. Make up
your own chilli sauce from those
extra tomatoes and spend the blue
points on fruit or something.
We've got fine recipe for making
chilli sauce out of canned tomatoes
that we've used for years in our
house. So I'll pass it along:
To l quart of canned tomatoes,
pressed. seeds and all, through
coarse sieve, add u cup of minced
up green pepper and l cup of
minced onion. Tie a teaspoonful
of celery seed, u teaspoon each of
whole allspice and cloves and a
stick of cinnamon, broken up, in
a cheesecloth bag and drop it into
the kettle with the tomatoes.
Now stir in Y cup sugar, IL tea
spoons salt, l teaspoon dry mus
tard, 1 teaspoon chilli powder,
dash of cayenne and a few drops
of tabasco if you like it. Pour in
! cup of vinegar and let the mixture
simmer slowly for about two hours,
until it is thickened to just the
right consistency. Better stir it
occasionally while it is cooking
Then pour it into hot sterilized
Gar or bottle and seal Immediately.
If you like the favor of horseradish,
you can add some of it to the chilli
before cooking-but it is plenty good
enough without it. THE v. c."

Report to the Housewife

The first strawberries from Louisi-
ana are being welcomed In Washing
ton markets this week-as you know
these are among the finest berries we
get during the season. So nows the
time to make one of those straw
berry Shortcakes that Grandmother
used to turn out SO deliciously-
huge, warm biscuits, split and but
tered margarine can pinch hit, nat
urally), filled with crushed sweet
ened berries, topped with more of
the same, and plain cream poured
over all! Who cares about whipped
cream and sugar shortages in such
case? Avocados have been COM
ing in better in size and quality
lately, and the first really good Per-
sian lines are in plentiful supply,
just in time for long, cool drinks
during this preview of summer. AS
we mentioned last week, there are
big supplies of apples available, and
while the quality of these is not
always tops, many of them may be
canned with great success. Grapes
from Argentina, of fair quality, in
clude Ribiers, white Malagas and
RED Malagas. Honeydews from Chile
are a little better than they have
been. Pineapples, bananas and rhu-
barb round out nice list, with, of
course, oranges and grapefruit and
lemons still doing their share.
Asparagus, in punches and in bulk,
is coming in in good supply from
both South Carolina and California.
The latter is the best-but much
more expensive. Good peas, lima
beans, snap beans, yellow and white
squash, beets and carrots are to be
found. Cabbage and caulif1ower are
recommended. Mushrooms are not
quite as high in quality as they have
been-the warm weather is hard on
them. All sorts of ingredients for
the salad bowl are on hand, includ-
ing the heretofore scarce cucumbers.
There are plenty of white potatoes
in most markets, and celery, both
white and Pascal type, is a good
buy. Plenty of greens in a wide
assortment are yours to select The
root vegetables. with the exception
of carrots and beets, are about done
for the season. Tomatoes are high in
price, but of fine quality.
The meat picture looks as gloomy
as ever-lamb and pork. including
that Easter ham, being the hardest
items to find at this writing. Al
though every one has been hoping
for more chickens to materialize,
so far this has been only wishful
thlnking-recent news stories indi-
cate that much of the released poul-
try is being snapped up by the black
market. Some live chickens are to
be found in the older markets, but
dressed poultry of any kind is al
most nonexistent. Eggs continue to
be good buy for most of us.
Fish still tops the roster of avail
able protein foods. and the lineup
is much the same as last week
Croakers, porgies, sea bass, roe and
buck shad, smelt, perch, trout, rock
fish, Spanish mackerel, carp and
fresh founders are recommended.
Most of the filleted fish will be avail
able. Crabmeat is becoming more
