The new sirup, one gallon of which is made from seven ga l lons of ordinary cider, is a clear ruby or am ber colored sirup o f about the consistency o f cane sirup and maple sirup. Proper ly sterilized and put in sailed tins or bottles, it will keep in definitely, and when opened, will keep under household conditions as well as other sirups. It has a distinct fruity arom a and special flavor of its ow n w h k h is described as being practically the same as the taste o f the sirupy substance w h k h exudes from a baked appk. The sirup can be used like maple or other sirups for griddle cakes, cereals, household cook ery, and as flavoring in desserts. The government cooking experts are at present experimenting with it in cookery and expect shortly to issue reeipeft for use of the new sirup in old w ay s and for taking advantage of its special flavor in novel dishes.
