Perfect Pies
There’s no better way to finish
off a successful meal than with a
delicious pie for dessert. One bonus
pies have over cakes is
that they can be prepared ahead ot
tune, frozen, and still taste tresh
when you serve them.
Two favorites in our pie section
this week are two-m-one pie and
fluffy pudding pie.
Fluffly pudding pie is great tor
meals when tune is short and you
need something special to impress
your guests.
Two-in-one pie treats those who
hunger for both mincemeat and
pumpkin Now you can keep
everyone happy.
FLUFFY PUDDING PIE
2 envelopes whipped topping
23/4c. cold milk
11. vanilla
2 pkg instant pudding and pie
filling, any flavor
1 baked 9-mch pie shell, cooled

Question
QUESTION Can apple cider be canned?
A reader from Harrisburg
ANSWER Doris Thomas, Lancaster County Extension home
economist was most helpful in supplying an answer of "yes” for
you and in giving instructions. She said to get fresh cider and
strain it through a jelly bag (sugar used to come in a fabric bag
known as a jelly bag. - you can use cheese cloth, now, however).
Pour strained cider into hot, sterilized jars leaving V* inch head
room. Process in hot water bath at 185 degrees Fahrenheit, for
30 minutes, for both pints and quarts. Good luck.
QUESTION I was wondering if Mrs. Adam Miller of Hartley,
Delaware, who earlier had supplied it, could send me her recipe
for velveeta cheese. Could anyone help me with this recipe if she
can’t?

QUESTION Could anyone supply me with a recipe for magic
chocolate swirl cake?
Ellen Nolt, New Holland
QUESTION Does anybody have a recipe for ham patties?
Mrs. Donald Knotts, Meyersdale
ANSWER For the lady who inquired about sweet milk, I
would like to say we are from the south and sweet milk is just
plain milk to us. We always expressed the types by saying
buttermilk or sweet milk. If you happen to get any southern
cookbooks, you will see sweet milk mentioned frequently. The
same is true of bread. I’m sure your recipe will come out alright
just using plain white milk.
