B—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. May 9. 1959 ror the ■' ] fi - r ~ ,r 1 JFarm Wife and Family Rhubarb and Asparagus , „ > by Mrs. Richard C. Spence What tastes better than fresh rhubarb and asparagus? We probably enjoy them so much because they are the early garden products; and eating them reminds us that surely winter has passed us by and warm, sunny weather Is' bn its way. These products are never better than when they are fresh, so serve them often to your family when they are plentiful. ’ Rhubard and asparagus freeze well so now is the time to store some away for later use If you haven’t tried com bining rhubarb with other Spring fruits you may want to try for a new flavor treat. Rhubarb brings its own spe cial freshness to strawberries pineapple, oranges and bana nas You may want to freeze some rhubarb to use later with blueberries, cherries and other fruits Whether you combine the fruits in sauce, puddings, pies or toppings you’ll have inter esting new flavors For a fru it compote use a cup of straw berries and a half cup orange sections with three cups co oked rhubarb. In puddings, rhubarb crisp and other baked dishes the fruit combinations are also good. If you put one fruit with the rhubarb you might want about a third the amount of rhubarb. If you add two frui ts they might total about half the amount of the rhubarb. In making rhubarb pie, pineapple is a good fruit to add You'll need an unbaked crust, about three cups rhu barb and one cup pineapple You might season the fruit with grated orange peel, ci nnamon and butter ' - A cup of sugar and a third cup flour completes the fil ling Use strawberries or ba nanas with rhubarb in about the same way. Upside down cake, ice cre am and rosy punch are other rhubarb treats Use a rather thin sauce for ice cream and SUPER Self Service SHOES 220 W, KING ST. Lone.
