By ZOLA VINCENT
Food Editor
Peach-Ginger Jam
Here's a fine quick and easy
way to put up a few more
peaches for winter pleasure
giving. Easy to do, satisfying
to eat. Recipe using powdered
fruit pectin makes 8 medium
glasses.
3V2 cups prepared peaches
(about 3 pounds)
Vz cup sliced candied ginger
4Vi cups sugar
1 2Vi-ounch powered fruit
pectin
Peel and pit about three
pounds soft ripe peaches. Chop
very fine or grind. Measure
2z cups into a large sauce
pan. Slice fine about one
quarter pound candied ginger.
Measure one-half cup into
saucepan. Measure sugar and
set aside.
Add powdered fruit pectin
to fruit in saucepan and mix
well. Place over high heat and
stir until mixture comes to
a hard boil. At once, stir in
sugar. Bring to a full rolling
boil and boil hard one min
ute, stirring constantly. Re
move from heat.
Skim off foam with petal
spoon. Then stir and skim by
turns for 5 minutes to cool
slightly to prevent floating
fruit. Ladle quickly into
glasses. Cover at once with
one-eighth inch hot paraffin.
Chicken-Potatoes
Have you ever tasted scal
loped potatoes with chicken
flavor? They're very good.
Substitute condensed cream of
chicken soup or chicken soup
for part of the milk you'd
ordinarily use and reduce a
bit the amount of salt and
flour.
Lima, Oregano
- A half teaspoon or oregano
added to the cooking water
with California large dry lima
beans gives them a delicious
accent. Especially good when
you're going to combine the
beans with sausage in a cas
serole or use them in a hearty
salad.
Bake Chicken in
. Savory Sour Cream
There are plenty of frying
size chickens as everyone
knows. And here is another
"superb way of fixing one or
; several. Figure four servings
;per fryer.
; 1 frying chiken, cut up
Vi cup fat for frying
'.Vz clove garlic, sliced
I 1 teaspoon salt
'. Vz cup sliced onion
' 2 tablespoons flour
2 cups strained cooked
tomatoes
1 cup dairy sour cream
V cup Parmesan cheese
Brown chicken in fat and
place in casserole. Mash gar
lic with salt. Cook garlic-salt
, mixture, in pan in which
chicken was fried, with the
onion until onion is transpar
ent but not browned. Blend
in flour.
Add tomatoes stirring con
stantly and heat to boiling
Remove from heat. Add sour
cream gradually, stirring vig
orously. Blend in Parmesan
cheese. Pour over chicken.
Cover and bake in a slow
oven, 325 degrees, about 45
minutes.
Spiced Raisins
Spiced raisins are just the
thing to serve with barbecued
meats. It makes no difference
what the meat is, these deli
cious raisins add zest, chewi-
ness, interest and loads of
good nutrition. Serve cold as
a relish or let stand a while
to blend and reheat to serve
as a sauce.
1 cud light or dark raisins
Vz cup brown sugar, packed
Vz cup water
J4 cup cider vinegar
Ji teaspoon ground cloves
V teaspoon ginger
Va teaspoon mace
Vs teaspoon allspice
Rinse and dram raisins
Combine sugar, water, vinegar
and spices and heat to boiling.

minutes. Ready for use when

warm if you like.

"ads" in this paper and you'll
find many of these items spe
cialed. Pork is in the headlines be
cause of seasonally lower
prices on both fresh and cured
cuts. The assured tenderness
of pork, the great variety of
pork products make it popular
fare in August as well as in
January.
Beef, Lamb, Poultry. All
cuts of beef are slightly lower
with some very good buys
noted on beef for oven roast
ing as well as for pot roast
ing. Ways with "specialed"
chuck are many. Lamb costs
remain about the same. Chick
en and turkeys continue to
make economical eating for
families of all sizes. Cold cuts,
canned meats, frankfurters
and hamburgers "are good
buys, quickly prepared, afford
good eating in infinite variety.
Fruit Displays. Gravenstein
apples, the green apple with
the faint red - stripes, are
superlative in green apple pie,
fine for saucing and for eating
out of hand. Plenty of avo
cados, bannas, grapefruit, ta
ble grapes, limes, nectarines,
Valencia oranges and season
peak for peaches and plums.
Bartlett pears and fresh
prunes 'are increasing in sup
ply right along. Cantaloupes'
and watermelons were never
better; vie with pink-meated
Persians honeydews and Cran
shaws for places in the menu.
Vegetable Bins. Plenty of
beets, carrots, radishes, green
onions and other bunched
vegetables piled high along
with snap beans, celery, cu
cumbers, eggplant, dry onions,
potatoes, squash. Lettuce
andor romaine, corn on the
cob and " good quality toma
toes for slicing are likely to
be on every list. Sweet pota
toes have appeared for accom
panying that good pork and
over in the canned food sec
tion is another fine vegetable
that is popular with pork and
that is, sauerkraut.
Fish and Shellfish. Agam
we urge you to enjoy, the
tasty, nutrition-packed prod
ucts of our lakes, streams and
nearby ocean. Fine variety
fresh, frozen, canned, and
smoked. Try new varieties in
new ways. Lots of lemons.
