and is quite an addition.
SARATOGA CHIPS
Wash and pare the desired number of uniform-sized potatoes. Slice thinly
(using slaw cutter) into a bowl of cold water. Let stand several hours,
changing the water often or until it is quite clear. Drain and drop them
into a kettle of boiling water; allow them to boil just one minute.
Drain quickly and cover with cold water. Drain from cold water and dry
between towels. Fry a few at a time in deep hot Cottolene, keeping them
moving with the skimmer. Drain on soft brown paper and sprinkle with
salt.
BEETS IN DRAWN BUTTER
Wash the small new beets and cook in boiling salted water until tender.
Drain and cover with cold water. Rub off the skins and slice them or cut
them in cubes. Reheat them in
DRAWN BUTTER (SOUR SAUCE)
Melt two tablespoons butter in a sauce-pan; add three tablespoons flour,
stir to a smooth paste and add gradually, while stirring constantly, one
cup boiling water. Boil two minutes, then add four tablespoons hot cream
and four tablespoons vinegar (if vinegar is too acid use two tablespoons
each of vinegar and water), season with salt and pepper.
FIGS IN SHERRY JELLY
1 tablespoon granulated gelatine.
1/4 cup cold water.
3/4 cup boiling water.
1/2 cup best table Sherry wine.
Juice of 1 small lemon.
1/2 dozen washed figs.
Whipped Cream.
1/2 cup sugar.
PROCESS: Soak gelatine in cold water, then dissolve it in boiling water;
add sugar and stir occasionally until mixture begins to thicken, then
add wine and lemon juice. Chill a pint mold in ice water (a fancy mold
is attractive for this purpose). Separate the figs, slice them thinly
and dip some of them in the jelly and use them for decorating the mold;
then fill the mold with alternate layers of sliced figs and the mixture,
allowing the jelly to "set" each time before adding the slices of figs.
Chill thoroughly. Unmold jelly on serving dish and surround with whipped
cream sweetened and flavored as desired. Use pastry bag and rose tube
for this purpose.
