SOME CHOICE DESSERTS.
A delicious and well-prepared des
sert will often help us to forget that
the preceding dishes
were not all that we de
sired. At this season of
the year frozen desserts
and light, easily digested
dishes ure more suitable.
During the hot weather
we need refreshing com
binations rather than
the nourishing; however,
one may have both In a
dish of Ice cream. A most satisfac
tory sherbet, which is both delicious
and economical, is
Velvet Sherbet. Take the juice of
three lemons, two cupf uls of sugar and
a quart of good milk, the richer the
better, though ordinary milk will be
satisfactory. Freeze and serve in
sherbet cups.
Orange and Lemon Sherbets Take
the juice of two oranges, two lemons
and two cupfuls of sugar and a quart
of thin cream; freeze as usual.
Dainty Dessert. Take a pound of
marsbmallowH and a cup of pecans cut
fine; cut the mallow's into quarters
and add enough whipped cream to
blend and hold them together. Into a
large-topped sherbet glass put a table
spoonful of any tanned fruit juice,
nil with the whip and serve with a
cherry as a garnish.
Duchess Cream. Take six table
spoonfuls of tapioca ; cook until clear ;
cool, add a pinch of salt, one cupful
of sugar, the Juke from a can of pine
apple, the juice of two oranges and
two lemons; cook until thick. Cool,
then add the pineapple, one cupful of
nuts and u pint of whipping cream.
This makes enough to serve IB, so that
the recipe may be cut in half for an
ordinary family.
Chocolate Pudding. Take one egg
and when well beaten add one-halt
cupful of sugar, one cupful of milk,
two squares of chocolate melted, one
and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted
with three teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der. Steam one and one-half hours
and serve with
Foamy Sauce. Bent one egg, add
one cupful of powdered sugar mixed
with two tablespoonfuls of softened
butter, a pinch of salt and a Httlo
flavoring; then fold In one cupful of
whipped cream.
