o TWO MEDFORD (OREGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 29, 1956 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Beit Dressed Easter Tablet likely to Wear Crown Pork Roast, Ham. Leg of Lamb Or Turkey Easter Sunday dinner is a very special occasion as family end friends gather round the festive board, usually done up in Easter f j'nery. Both diners and dining table, that is! Like Thanksgiving and Christmas, Easter dinner is a seasonal cele bration calling for special menu planning and appropriate dress-ing-up of the table. Decorative motif is a foregone conclusion involving gay and re splendant - eggs (hard-cooked), baskets, perhaps some bunnies, ducks or other symbol rescued from the shrubbery or other hid ing place . . . and some spring flowers. Our best snowy white linens are brought out to do justice to the occasion. Let the older girls take pride in the table decorat ing and setting. Choosing the Meat Markets offer wide choice in meats; all attractively priced. Plenty of pork and many will choose a Crown Roast like our picture. There are turkeys for roasting, fryers and broilers for small families. Baked ham is tra ditional in many families and others find leg of lamb with mint sauce irresistible. Pork Crown Roast Here is a party roast made from the rib end of "the loin. It is bent and tied to form a circle or crown with the ends of the rib bones exposed. Be sure the backbone is completely removed to aid carving. Do not fill the center with ground meat be cause It increases the cooking time. The exposed rib bones should be covered with bacon or salt pork, waxed paper or aluminum foil, while roasting. Paper frills may be used at serving time though this seems to be guilding the lily. Plan on two ribs to a serving. Crown probably will weigh around seven pounds, require SV4 hours of roasting at 325 de grees, uncovered of course. Meat man will "fix" crown for you. Pfcrk Gravy A goodly part of the joy of a pork rst is the full-flavored brown pork gravy. This can be made in the roasting pan after the roast is removed. Pour off the clear melted fat into a bowl. Then blend together two table spoons of this fat, IVi table spoons flour and one cup of milk or water for each cup of gravy desired. Three cups of good gravy can be made with a four pound roast. Be sure to add to the gravy the flavorful brown drippings in the roasting pan. Boil. Stir, Sea son to taste. Rejoice. Chived Rice Filler Fine for filling the crown roast of pork or for serving with any other meat, is chived rice which can be fixed in a matter of minutes as the roast is coming from the oven. Just follow pack age directions on pre-cooked type of rice;! toss in a handful of finely chopped chives (green union tops or parsley) and add two tablespoons of butter. Jellied Pears For handsome platter garnish, we used canned pears halves pil ed lightly with currant jelly me ringue and baked them until lightly browned. Have an extra plate handy so the carver can remove the garnish before start ing to carve. Currant Jelly Meringue is made by beating an egg white with a dash of salt until foamy throughout, then adding one-half cup currant jelly that has been broken up with a fork, and beat ing until mixture stands in peaks. Mighty pretty, too! Clove-Studded Ham Is Choice of Many Easy to cook and serve, the traditional Easter ham usually is dressed up for the occasion with a clove-studded design in a su gary brown glaze. All first and second quality cured pork items are wrapped and branded. Most hams on the market have com plete identification and cooking copy on the wrapper. Whichever type ou choose, read the label carefully to know what you are buying and follow directions for cooking. Sweet Glazes These are perhaps the most popular of the ham glazes. Spread the glaze evenly over the fat-scored surface of hot baked ham. Return to a hot, 400 degree, oven to bake until surface forms a brown glaze. Spoon up or add more of the glaze to cover any spots which do not seem to brown evenly. Your choice of these: One cup brown sugar and two tablespoons flour . . . one cup brown sugar and one tablespoon dry mustard . . . one cup honey . . . one-half cup orange, peach or apricot marmalade . . . one- half cup brown sugar sifted over ham; then honey drizzled over . . . one cup cranberry or cur rant jelly . . . three-fourths cup crushed pineapple and one cup brown sugar. How lo Make Cascarones Time to again remind you how to make cascarones (pronounced kaskarones); those empty egg shells that are so easy to do; so much fun, especially when filled witn contetti and thrown cas ually at some unsuspecting per son. Use them first for Easter decoration. Children love mak ing and decorating these. They're so fragile that it is best to decorate them with decals or paste-ons, rather than risking a dye bath. Flat end of uncooked egg is gently chipped to make a hole about an eighth of " an inch across. The more pointed end is punctured with an ice pick. Blowing through , the smaller hole forces the egg out of the larger hole. After drying a short time, the smaller hole is sealed with bit of colored paper or with scotch tape. Confetti is poured into larger hole which is then sealed. Have fun! Sing Praises for Leg of Lamb Pineapple slices and mint sauce or mint jelly have been dressing-up legs of lamb for a very long time and if anyone improves on this fabulous flavor combination, we'll be the first to let you know. Lamb is rea sonable in cost; certain to win plaudits from family. A leg of lamb weighing eight pounas as purcnased will re quire 452 hours in a slow, 325 degree, oven to be done to per fection. A smaller five to six pound leg will need about three hours. When you remove this fine roast from oven to platter, you can either spread mint jelly over the entire surface or you can offer mint sauce from a sauce-boat or sliced from a jelly dish. To dress up pineapple slices handsomely, roll the slices in red sugar or decorettes; top with twisted slice of orange and put a red cherry in the center. Again we remind you that the carver is likely to hate you unless you provide a side plate to which he can remove your fancy garn ishes before he starts to work. Naturally, a garnish goes on in dividual plates along with other foods served. m H v.. rnmm PLEASANT MEMORY Easter Sunday dinner will long remain a particularly pleasant memory with a menu like this. It features a crown pork roast filled with chived rice, pear halves with cur rant jelly meringue and a yellow daffodil cake with cocoanut icing.

Rejoice With Turkey Chances are t that as many folks in our part of the coun- i try have turkey at Easter-time as have turkey "during the holi-1 days." Popular the year around, j turkey is not only good but also i bargain eating wherever large ! families get together. We seem concerned about the carver today so remind you that it is easier to carve if the roast ed bird rests 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Gives you time to make gravy and attend to other last-minute details. Plenty of cranberry sauce! Ham Leftovers. Scalloped ham and the large dry lima beans are hearty and good for later-in-the-week eating. Cook the limas until tender; then combine with diced cooked ham and a well-seasoned cheese sauce. Bake in moderate oven until browned on top. Surprise Soup. Here's a festive idea for party serving of soup on the rocks the delicious drink made by pouring chilled, can ned beef bouillon over ice cubes. Use lemon flavored cubes! Mix lemon juice and water in equal amounts and freeze in ice tray.
