manship competition was held for
four different age groups.

the rewards are most sweet for the

ANSWER —A Troy reader wanted a recipe for creamy rice,
which is not a dessert but used in place of potatoes. Betty Lou
Gamble, Concord, sent in this recipe.

1 pound rice
2 cups water
Salt

ANSWER a Leola reader wanted a recipe for Christmas
pickles. Thanks to Maybelle Page and Nellie Strite, Clear
Spring, Md., for sending recipes.
Christmas Pickles
Wash cucumbers and pack whole in a glass gallon jar. Do
not use a plastic jug.
4 tablespoons salt
8 tablespoons pickling spice
4 tablespoons alum
4 cups vinegar
Put this in the jar and fill with enough water to cover pickles.
Put a piece of plastic wrap over top of jar. Place tight lid on jar
and shake to dissolve. Place in a coole dark place until Decem
ber. Pull a brown grocery bag over the jar to cover it completely.
In December, open and drain. Wash pickles and cut or slice.
Wash jar and return pickles to jar and add 8 cups sugar and
enough water to cover the pickles. Shake the jar. No heating
required. Keep in refrigerator and use after 21 days. Will keep
indefinitely in refrigerator.
I like to dissolve the sugar in hot water before I slice them and let
that cool down to room temperature. If you add the sugar and water
without dissolving it, the sugar goes to the bottom of the jar. I have
used the sugar solution the second time around for another gallon
provided you keep the sugar solution refrigerated.
