The family package was developed when surveys revealed that 25 per cent of shopper bought two or more packages of nonfat dry milk at a time. The familiar one poilnd pack age makes 5 quarts and the con venient pre-measured package which contains three individual envelopes makes three quarts. Nutrition. Nonfat dry milk gives the family milk nourish ment without the fat; leaves good supplies of protein, calcium and - riboflavin which are . all necessary for buoyant health. Uses. The product fills all the milk uses; good for drinking, in cooking, baking, with cereals and is widely used in powder form in receipes for quick breads, puddings, et cetera. When nonfat dry milk is added as bak ing ingredient, it goes right in with the other dry ingredients. Storage. Nonfat dry milk pack age keeps almost indefinitely on a cool dry pantry shelf if the package is closed carefully after each using. -Veal Slew Distinction If your family expects oc casional meals that are quite dif ferent . . . and wonderfully good, they'll applaud this. Flour and brown cubes of veal stew meat. Add water to not quite cover; cover pan and sim mer one hour. Then add 12 seed ed prunes, juice of one orange, one tablespoon each vinegar and sugar and a dash of cloves. Cover v and ' cook another hour. Rice or egg noodles are especial ly good with this. Sharp Cheese. The longer cheddar cheese is .aged, the sharper its flavor becomes; therefore, when a cheddar cheese is labelled "sharp" that usually means it has been aged ten months or more.' Mild ched dar is aged six months or less; medium sharp, nine . months or less. . Low Sodium Diet. Fresh lem on blended with salt-free butter makes an excellent seasonmg for vegetables and meats if you are one of the many on a low- sodium diet. Fruit Crisp Uses Mixed Dried Fruit An inspiration! Many of our fine west coast fruits combine in a dried fruit package; prunes, apricots, pears and apples or figs. Top them with brown sugar, spices, flour and butter brown ed and crispy. 1 11-ounce package mixed dried fruit 1 tablespoon lemon juice , 23 cup brown sugar, packed V4 cup flour V2 tablespoon cinnamon Va teaspoon nutmeg V4 cup butter or margarine Cover fruit with water and boil 30 minutes or until tender.
