SAFFRON BREAD.


Some time ago lady wrote to the
RICH for recipe for saffron bread.
Several recipes were submitted, but
they all seemed to be for saffron
cake, which is different from the
bread. think what the inquirer
wanted was recipe for saffron
bread as make 1t, and which is
very popular with all who have
eaten it, so am sending my recipe
so 1t will be in plenty of time for
the holiday season, as it is holiday
special.
First of all get your saffron. The
best and the one which will give
the best results, is imported saffron.
1t comes in little box with a tin
cover. You will be more apt to
procure it at drugstore than at
a grocery, although grocers some
times carry it. Use the entire box
for one baking.
In the evening, crumble the SAT-
ron into about 3 cups of water
and put on the stove over a low
fire and steep for about an hour,
keeping tightly covered. Do not
strain. Wash and clean and dry
one pound of seedless raisins and
one pound of currants, or you can
use all raisins, if you desire, and
cut up about half pound of can
died citron. Cover all these and
save for the morning. In the morn
ing, add 8 cups of water to the
saffron mixture, "a cup of lard or
other unsalted shortening, and put
on low fire and heat until shorten
ing is melted. Cool and add one
cup OF sugar, six teaspoons salt and
6 fresh yeast cakes which have been
soaked in about / cup of water.
Stir all together and add fruit mix
ture and begin to blend in flour
in order TO Keep the mix

To Mrs. c. w. L. of Washington,
my mother made one of the coal

clinkers will work. The coal should
be put into a dish and covered with

then be poured over the dampened
salt on the coal. Water should be
kept in the saucer. I hope this
proves successful.
