Buys in Canned Fruits
Male Delectable Desserts
Canned fruits fortunately
re exceptionally good buys
right now as we get hungry
for golden peaches, pears, ap
ricots while watching the
blossoming orchards and an
ticipating summer's golden
bounty of fresh fruits to come.
There's also an abundance
of canned pineapple, fruit
cocktail, apple sauce, apple
slices, cherries, berries and
cranberry sauce. You'll find
specials galore. Few things
are more satisfying than extra
cans of a variety of dessert
makings on the pantry shelf.
- To be sure most of these
good things will be eaten "as
is", served in our prettiest des
sert dishes with cookies or
cake alongside but if it's some
thing fancier you're looking
for, here are several good sug
gestions after a brief disserta
tion on butter and margarine.
Butler and Margarine
When it comes to dessert
making ingredients, butter
and margarine vie for "short
ening" honors. The dairy in
dustry has forever been im
portant in the economy of our
state. The making of margar
ine (pronounced mar-jar-in) is
increasingly done on our coast
for shipping throughout the
western states. Actually mar
garine has been around for
more than 75 years.
The basic difference be
tween butter and margarine is
that margarine is made prin
cipally out of domestic vege
0 table fats while butter is made
from animal fat. Some mar
garines combine processed
vegetable oil, creamery butter
andor flavorful milk in their
blend. All are equally nutri
tious, can be used interchange
ably. Golden Fruil Crumble
You're sure to have good
luck with this fruit "crum
ble". Youngsters will enjoy
making it because it is cer
tain to come out perfect every
time. Plan one for the Moth
er's Day weekend ahead..
Make this with golden peach
halves, pear halves, apricots
or pineapple slices or arrange
a fancy combination of fruits
if you like. Six servings.
Drain syrup from a No. 2V2
can of peach halves or other
fruit and arrange in greased
eight inch round or compar
able size baking dish two
inches or so deep. Mix three
quarter cup sifted all-purpose
flour, one - quarter teaspoon
alt, one-half cup brown sugar,
packed and one - quarter tea
spoon nutmeg in mixing bowl.
Cut in one-third cup margar-

ine with fork until mixture is
crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.
Bake in moderate, 375 degree,
oven, 35 to 40 minutes.
Simmer fruit syrup with
three lemon slices and six
whole cloves for 10 minutes;
strain. Serve hot with the
Crumble.
Golden Slate Cobbler
' Plenty of coast - canned
peaches and Bartlett pears for
enjoying in salads, as accom
paniment for meat, for eating
as dessert with snappy cheese
and crackers. Or make this
fine cobbler.
Drain one No. 2V4 can
peach or pear halves and re
serve two - thirds cup juice.
Place fruit in shallow 10x6x
14 inch or comparable size
baking dish, cut side up. Com
bine fruit juice, one-third cup
fresh or canned unsweetened
orange juice, one-quarter cup
brown sugar, one tablespoon
cornstarch, dash of salt and
pour over fruit. Place in a hot
oven, 425 degrees, for five
minutes.
Combine one tablespoon
sugar and one cup prepared
biscuit mix (your own recipe
or a packaged mix) and add
six tablespoons undiluted
evaporated milk to make a
soft dough. Drop in six spoon
fuls on top of fruit. Bake 15
to 20 minutes longer at 425
degrees or until biscuits are
browned. Serve "as is" or
warm with heavy whipped
cream with two tablespoons
sugar added. Six servings.
Fruit Compote. Start off
any meal with a fruit com
pote. Slice canned pear halves
lengthwise. Add salad - style
fruit cocktail, sliced bananas,
orange and''or grapefruit seg
ments or any other fresh or
canned fruit available in fruit
basket o.- pantry. Chill and
serve.
Chicken Oriental Is
Mother's Day Special
Chickens continue in the
best buys list for frequent en
joyment. Fix them up this
very special way as a treat
for Mother on her special day.
Plan to do two batches in or
der to have eight servings;
three batches for 12 servings.
Have good size frying chick
ens cut into serving size pieces
and shake in a paper bag con
taining one-half cup flour, two
teaspoons powdered ginger,
one teaspoon salt, one-eighth
teaspoon pepper. In a skillet,
brown floured chicken in one-
quarter cup hot shortening.
Remove chicken to casserole.
Now comes the oriental in
fluence. Mix two tablespoons
seasoned flour with one cup
water until smooth; add to
drippings in skillet along with
one - quarter cup pineapple
syrup (drained from canned
pineapple), two tablespoons
vinegar, one tablespoon brown
sugar, one - quarter teaspoon
powdered garlic or one-half
teaspoon garlic salt, 1V cups
(a No. 2 can) drained pine
apple chunks, one onion cut
in half crosswise, then in
eighths, one green pepper cut
in one inch thin strips (pepper
optional but nice). Bring just
to boiling point.
Pour over chicken in casser
ole; cover and bake at 325 de
grees about 45 minutes. Serve
over hot cooked rice. As we
said, four servings and we
hope you're making several
batches.

CRUMBLE DESSERT Plenty of west coast grown and
canned peaches, pears and apricots for the making of this
luscious dessert called a Crumble. Any youngster can put it
together quickly and surprise Mother with a week end
dessert. It's good with pineapple, too. Recipe is included in
today's food columns.
Bake or buy an angelfood
cake. Fill cake center with
this mixture, then refrigerate
quickly.
Wash and hull one pint or
more fresh strawberries; add
four tablespoons or more
powdered sugar and one-half
teaspoon almond extract. Beat
one pint (two cups) whipping
cream until stiff. Gently fold
in the sugared strawberries.
Ice sides of the cake lightly
and fill cake center with re
maining strawberry cream.
Refrigerate in coldest spot or
put in home "freezer for an
hour or so, so the berries and
cream will not soak into the
cake.
Mother's Day Brunch
Is Wonderful Idea
If Mother (yours or some
one else whom you also love)
is a church-goer perhaps she'd
dearly love to ask the minister
and his wife and other special
friends to come past your
house for what this generation
calls a Brunch. An ideal op
portunity to honor mother on
her very own day; giving the
family a happy feeling of
solidarity.
Our menu suggestion is
equally good for supper time.
Let the children help.
Consider pitchers of chilled
fruit juice or pass fruit juice
glasses with sliced strawber
ries floating. If it is a small
sit-down affair, broiled grape
fruit or strawberries in sour
cream are very nice.
Easiest and most satisfac
tory main dish food is curried
turkey or chicken or fluffy
rice with small dishes offering
choices of chutney, chopped
cucumbers, chopped peanuts,
diced hard - cooked eggs (ar
range with egg whites and
yolks done separately), rais
ins, grated coconut. Hot rolls
and plenty of coffee. A day
and a meal to remember!
Curried Turkey or Chicken.
Roast turkey or chicken the
day before. For each six serv
ings, proceed as follows. Melt
three tablespoons butter, add
four tablespoons flour and stir
over low heat until blended.
Add one cup cold turkey or
chicken broth and one . cup
milk all at once. Cook stirring
constantly until uniformly

thickened. Then set over hot
water.
Add one-half teaspoon salt,
one - half teaspoon paprika,
one - eighth teaspoon pepper,,
one teaspoon finely grated
onion, IV2 teaspoons curry
powder and IV2 cups diced
cooked turkey or chicken and
heat thoroughly. Many like to
add one-half cup grated fresh
coconut or finely shredded
canned coconut to the. hot
mixture instead of offering it
separately.
Add more seasonings if de
sired. Blend in two table
spoons sherry wine if you like,
just before serving.
Herbed Tomatoes. Mid-westerners
have liked canned to
matoes fixed like this for gen
erations. Drain a No. 2Vz can
tomatoes. Melt one table
spoon butter in saucepan; add
two tablespoons flour and
blend. Gradually stir in to
mato juice. Cook stirring con
stantly until smooth and
thickened. Add tomatoes, one
half teaspoon each basil or
marjoram and sugar, salt,
pepper. Simmer five minutes.
