INSTEAD OF CLOVES

QU_ can't-beat-a well-filled apple pudding with two or three cloves added to bring out the flavour, Cloves are an old-fashioned spico usually cooked with apples whether they're baked in a ple, stewed or cooked whole in the

oven.

Honey & Sultanas

and is inexpensive. Ingredients: 1lb. apples, 3oz. sugar, 12 small spongecakes, joz. gelatine, a little

cream.

Stew apples and sugar with 2 tablespoonfuls of water and a strip -of-lemon-rind-and-pass-through u sleve. Add the gelatine dissolved in a little of the apple juice to the pulp.

Line a mould with the sponge- cakes and put a layer of sponge on the bottom. Pour in the apple mixture and put the charlotte

PPLE pudding with a difference. Well grease a basin, and line it with suct crust. Put in a layer of sliced apples, and sprinkle- with sultanas. Continue in layers until basin is almost full. Add 2 tablespoonfuls of honey dis-- solved in half a cupful of warm water, and a strip of lemon ring. Cover with a lid of crust, tie on a scalded floured cloth and boil for two hours.

But, with most good things in iife, if we have them too often, they become monotonous if not tiresome.

So, as variety is the spice of lits, and as spice is moant to give an extra filip to a dish, why not serve up your apple pudding with a new flavour?

Try a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg instead of cloves, or two or threo curls of lemon rind. Ginger is another favour which com- panions apples very pleasantly. Baked & Stuffed

Baked apples filled with sultanas and honey are a delicious, sugar-saving sweet. Sprinkle the sultanas with

(warm this first and it will go farther) before stuffing the cored apples,

Put a very little water in the baking tin to prevent them from sticking.

With Apricots

The children will love this health- giving sweet.

Ingredients: 6 apples, a small tin of apricota, 1 pt. custard, flavoured with two or three drops of vanilla essence.

Peel and core the apples. Roll an. apricot well in sugar or honey and place in the apple. Put apples into n greased ple-diah and pour the custard over. Bake slowly til tender. French Charlotte
