THE saoiaaaiaaa?aa> RECIPES. Tri-Colored CaJce.— Take one capful of finely powdered white sugar, nearly half a cupfal of sweet milk, the whites of live eggs, a tcaspconful of soda, and orange-flow er water to flavor. Beat the sugar and butter until it is creamy; mix the cream of taTtar with a cupful of flour, stir it grad ually with the mixture, alternately a little flour, then a little milk, (leaving only about a thimbleful of milk to mix the soda in,) until the whole is well mixed; have the whites well beaten to a firm froth; mix evenly; at the same time putin the flavor; and, for the last thing, stir in the soda, dissolved in the reserved milk. Ihe mix ture should be as stiff as batter for muffins. Butter two square tin pans, piut paper inside after they are buttered; then put in the mixture evenly, and Lake as quick as pos sible without scorching. Take just half of the above measure, substituting red sugar sand in the place of white sugar, and fla vor with juice of half a lemon, and the peel of the half lemon grated, or extract; bake this in one pan. Now take five yolks, light brown sugar in the same proportion as for the white cake, and have two or three ounces of sweet almonds, blanched and chopped fine; mix them smoothly and evenly, with a sharp knife, (the bottom of the cake will not need shaving, unless they are too brown to look well without;)put them together with fine jelly, so that they will stick firm —the pink cake in the cen tre, and the yellow at the top and bottom —and frost if you like. Cut it any form ; but I think it is the prettiest cut in finger pieces ; that is, cut it in slices an inch or an inch and a half wide, then in squares. You will say that it is not only excellent cake, but the prettiest you ever saw. From Godey's Lady's Book. To Preserve Apricots. —Choose fine apri cots, pare them thinly and cleanly, and when done, take their weight, cut them in halves and remove the kernal, lay them with the inside upwards, take the same weight of pounded loaf sugar and strew over them break the stones of the apricots and blanch the kernals; let the fruit lie in the sugar for twelve hours, theu put fruit, sugar, juice, and kernals into a preserving pan, simmer gently until clear; as the scum rises remove it; remove the halves of the apricots; as they become cold, lay them in jars, and when the whole of the fruit has been potted, pour equally over them the syrup and the kernals. Cover the fruit with brandy paper, and tie tight ly down. To Preserve Pippins in Slices. —Take the fairest pippins, pare them, and cut them in slices a quarter of an inch thick, with out taking out the cores; boil two or three lemons, and slice them with the apples; take the same weight of white sugar (or clarified brown sugar), put half a gill of water for each pound of sugar, dissolve it, and set it over the fire; when it is boiling hot, put in the slices; let them boil very gently until they are clear, then take them with a skimmer, and spread them out on fiat dishes to cool; boil the syrup until it is quite thick, and pour it over them.— These may be done a day before the}- are wanted; two hours will be sufficient to make a fine dish for desert or supper. To Preserve Oral-Apples. —Takeoff the stem and core them with a penknife, with out cutting them open; weigh a pound of white sugar for each pound of prepared fruit put a teacup of water to each pound of sugar; put it over a moderate fire.— When the sugar is all disolved and hot, put the apples in; let them boil gently un til they arc clear, then .skim them out and spread them on flat dishes. Boil the syr up until it is thick; put the fruit in what ever it is to be kept, and, when the syrup is cooled and settled, pour it carefully over the fruit. Slices of lemon boiled with the fruit may be considered as an improvement One lemon is enough for several pounds of fruit. Crab-apples may be preserved whole with only half an inch of the stem on; three-quarters of a pound of sugar for each pound of fruit. Quince Marmalade. —Gather the fruit when quite ripe; pare, quarter and core it; boil the skins in the water, measuring a teacupful to a pound of fruit; when they are soft, mash and strain them, and put back the water into the preserving-kettle ; add the quinces, and boil them until they are soft enough to mash fine; rub through a sieve, and put three quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit; stir them well together, and boil over a slow fire until it will fall like jelly from a spoon. Put it in pots or tumblers, and secure it, when cold, with paper sealed to the edge of the jar with the white of an eg". DO To make CapiUaire. —Mix six eggs, well beat up, witli fourteen pounds of loaf sugar and three pounds of course sugar; put them into three quarts of water, boil it twice, skim it well, and add a quarter of a pint of orange-flower water; strain it through a jelly-bag, and put it into bottles for use. A spoonful or two of this syrup, put into a draught of either cold or warm water, makes it drink exceedingly pleasant. Ginger JBecr. —The following is a very good way to make it: Take of ginger, bruised or sliced, one and a half ounce; cream of tartar, one ounce; loaf sugar, one pound; one lemon sliced; put them into a pan, and pour six quarts of boiling water upon them. When nearly cold, put in a little yeast, and stir it for about a minute. Let it stand until next day, then strain and bottle it. It is fit to drink in three davs, but will not keep good longer than a fort night. The corks should be tied down, and the bottles placed upright in a cool place. LUMBER! LUMBER!! Wm. B.
