heim, who wins this week’s free
one-year subscription to Lancas

The following is a recipe for

delicious:

When I receive Lancaster
Farming the first thing I do is
look for new and different re
cipes each week, writes Mrs.
Ross Esbenshade of R 2 ML Joy.
I have.- tried a few with good
results. Here are two recipes
which we think are delicious.
CANNED TOMATOES
Mrs. Ross Esbenshade
R 2 Mt. Joy, Pa.
Take medium size, ripe toma
toes and peel. Take a large ket
tle, put in two quarts of water
and one-fourth cup salt. Make
boiling. Then drop about two
quarts of tomatoes in and bring
to a boil again Then drop toma
toes in can and fill with juice
and seal You can serve them
■on ‘lettuce with grated cheese
or egg.
A
CATSUP
Mrs. Ross Esbenshade
R 2 Mt. Joy, Pa.
One* basket tomatoes. Trim
tomatoes don’t peel. Slice in
layers and salt lightly. Let stand
about three days in warm place
or until they ferment Then
drain, using just the pulp put
through a sieve
Add
One onion, grated
One cup stiong vinegar
Two cups sugar
Salt to taste
Tie in cheese cloth
One-half ounce whole cloves
One-half ounce whole allspice
One-half ounce whole cinna
mon stick
One-half teaspoon cayenne
pepper
Boil this 10 to 20 minutes, or
just as thick as you like it. Bot
tle and cap.

Strange how some of these
words originate in the kitchen.
We accept catsup without
question, often spelling it
that way and pronouncing it
ketchup. According to a couple
dictionaries, the word catsup
originated in 1690, the word
catchup in 1690, the word
ketchup inr 1711. Some say it
came from the Malayan word,
“kecap” with an umlaut
over the “e”, meaning taste.
Another says it’s from the
Chinese “kaechiap” or “ket
siap,” meaning the brine of
pickled fish.
We are readers of Lancaster
Farming starts a letter from
Mrs. Leon Martin, Rl New Hol
land and find it an interest
ing paper. I always enjoy the
ing 10 to 12 baskets each. Picking, extend
ing over 4-1/2 weeks, has'produced one
of the heaviest crops and one of the long
est picking seasons in Mr. Aukanmp’s 10-
year history in peaches. (Lancaster Fann
