know it is difficult to freeze pork
any length of i.me and retain its
real flavor, especially sausage,
which has had the seasoning add-,
ed I have learned by packing
the sausage in waterproof con
tainers, then filling the contain
ers with water before sealing
tightly to freeze, being sure to
leave enough room for expansion
when the water freezes I have
kept the sausage eight to ten
months already, using this meth
od, and it comes fiom the freez
er like fresh
In making my fruit cakes, I use
a good grade of mincemeat or
apple butter in place of some of
the liquid. Gives a more yummy,,
fruity taste and does not require
neaily as much aging for good
eating
Might -be some good ideas
heie, might be some disagree
ment If you don’t agree, let
us know. Freezing pork has
long been a household prob
lem, and perhaps Mrs. Brubak
er might have a solution.
It’s Christmas time again al

To frost six cones;

Stir until well blended and
then frost cones. While frosting

cup popped corn for each cone
Decorate with ied cinnamon can

I would like to find more
recipes and household hints,
Mrs. Shertzer adds. How about

From Mis Walter Gerlach, R 2
Mount Joy, comes what looks like
a tasty recipe, but let’s put it in
her own words
Enclosed is a pork chops in
sour cream itoipe It’s a very
good recipe, v/e think Try it
once-
Pork Chops in Sour Cream

pepper .and dredge with flour-
Brown in a small amount of fat.

and place in a casserole.

As a postcript, Mrs. Ger
lach adds: “We like Lancaster

Mrs I F McClay, HD 3 Man
heim, sends “a homemaking idea
on which my husband has compli
mented me When making ham
burgers, whether patted out thin
to place in a bun, or made thick
er, shape and season them. Place
them in a pan and sprinkle the
hamburgers with water fiom a
clothes sprinkler The steam will
keep' the hamburgers moist, and
will pi event them from shrink
ing in size considerably.
“We are very much interested
in Lancaster Farming,” Mrs Mc-
Clay adds.
“As a boxholder receiver of
the early copies of Lancaster
