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.

PLEASANT MEMORY Easter Sunday dinner will long remain

rant jelly meringue and a yellow daffodil cake with cocoanut
icing.

That good
HAWAIIAN CANE flavor!
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.
