REMEMBER THE APPLE
The days liave gone by when ap
, pies were an everyday adjunct of the
i household an'd as much a matter of
course as potatoes. The higher price
they now command makes their lav
-1 ish use less possible, but they arc
still our standby in the fruit line. It
is well that this is so. as they are
especially wholesome. Well-made
1 CAS T O RIA For Mints and Chilrtriß. Bears the .
The Klnl You Have Always Bought
apple sauce should always bo kept
on hand. Small or imperfect fruit
can be used to advantage. Pare and
core the apples and cut into small
pieces. Pour boiling water over the
cut apples, using only enough to keep
the sauce from burning at tirst, as
the apples soon make their own juice.
Cook quickly, stirring from time to
time. When smooth add sugar, the
juice of a lemon and half its peel cut
into thin shreds. Never make apple
saue in metal and never stir with a
metal spoon. tl darkens easily by
contact, with metal. An enameled
ware saucepan and an enameled ware
or wooden spoon will obviate thai
i difficulty.
