THANK YOU" NOTE.
From Mrs. C. w. X, SilUer Spring.
To Miss I. I. B., Arlington: Your
Sungold Cake is wonderful. I have
made it lots of times and have in
tended to write you but just didn't
take time to do it. Yesterday I
made one and my daughter and her
friends said it was the best cake
they ever tasted. Thanks so much.
To Mrs. c. B. j., Lorton, the same
goes for your delicious date and
nut bars.
LINED OAhf
From Mrs. r. L. B., Arlington.)
Will some one please tell me how
to care for lined oak bedroom set?
How can it be cleaned, polished, etc?
I have been told to wash the wood
with pure soap only and never to
use a polish with an oil base. Be-
fore I do anything at all, I'd like TO
have more definite instructions.
PICKLED EGGS.
From Mrs. J. G. NJ, SilUer Spring.
To Mrs. K. B. NJ, Washington,
regarding recipe for picked eggs. I
note all the rules fail to point out
not to use a metal pan nor to store
can in tin or metal. This will dis
color eggs. Use granite vessels, glass
or crockery containers and prefer
ably covered tightly.
Your husband is both right and
wrong. Some recipes are made with
beet vinegar. To get this sirup cook
small beets until tender and skin.
Make a sirup Of 2 cups sugar, 2
cups water, 2 cups vinegar, ! lemon,
sliced thin; l tablespoon cinnamon,
teaspoon cloves, and l teaspoon
allspice. Cover beets and simmer
Is minutes. I use whole spices.
After short period this liquid is
excellent to pickle eggs. To about
4 cups add I teaspoon salt. More
spices may be added if you wish
it strong. But mustard seed is to
be avoided because of its color in
the case of red juice it doesn't much
matter. Hard boil u to 18 eggs,
peel. Put them in a mason jar, pour
on the reheated liquid cover. They
are better if they stand two weeks.
Many people prefer them without
sugar Take 6 hard cooked eggs
(about u hour, shell and put 4
cloves in each one (optionaD. Heat
2 cups vinegar, u teaspoon pepper,
"a teaspoon salt, u teaspoon ground
mustard will make them yellow, but
interesting, or any other spices your
family likes. If you use the other
spices put whole ones in bag so
you can more easily remove them.
When mixture is boiling put the
eggs in a glass jar, pour the mixture
over them and seal for two weeks.
Good served with beef.
Some people use 3 cups vinegar,
cup water, l teaspoon salt, and
any spices they like. Handle in the
same way as above. Hope you have
success.
