helps and tips from readers. Here are some from Lisa Sparr.
• When crushing crackers for pie crusts, topping for casser
oles, etc., place crackers in a piece of plastic wrap and push
down all sides of the wrap to seal it. Use a rolling pin to crush.
• Refresh your spice shelf every year or so. Tarragon, cher
vil, basil and some other delicate ones may not last that long.
Whole leaf varieties keep better than powdered or ground
ones.
• Using bananas in dessert? Toss them with cream sherry,
The wine will flavor the fruit and keep it from darkening,
• Boiling a little winegar will eliminate unpleasant cooking
odors.
• Homemade vanilla extract is made by combining 1 cup
brandy and 2 vanilla beans cut into one-inch pieces. Combine
in a jaar with a tight fitting lid. Cover and let stand 3 months,
shaking three times a week. Yield; one cup.
• When using a glass pan, decrease the oven temperature
25 degrees.
• When adding flour to cake batter, do not overmix.
• Always stir rice with a fork to prevent gummy rice.
• After fluting the edge of pastry, press or crimp under nm in
several places to prevent shrinkage.
• Arrowroot is ideal for thickening pie fillings since it
becomes very clear upon thickening and does not cover any
natural flavor.
• To prevent brown sugar from hardening, store in a cov
ered container. Insert a damp paper towel or napkin in the lid.
If brown sugar has hardened, the same treatment will soften
• Strong-flavored vegetables require more seasoning than
mild-flavored vegetables.
’ When sauces are made in a double boiler never allow the
water in the bottom boiler to touch the bottom of the top boiler.
• Use three times as much fresh herb as dried. If a recipe
calls for one teaspoon dried, use 3 teaspoons fresh.
• Bay leaves and whole cloves keep ants and pests out of
cupboards.
• Hang cheesecloth bags of yarrow, mint, and lavender in
your closets and cupboards to repel moths and sweeten the
air.
