THE RIGHT RECIPE

A correspondent sends me tiie following recipe for tomato pulp, sufficient to fill five quart jars:—Tomatoes 101 b (they must be ripe and firm). Skin by plunging into boiling water and then into cold. Butter Alb, salt and pepper to taste. Boil all together for twenty minutes, stirring well. Put into hot jars with new rubbers and screw down immediately. This pulp will keep indefinitely, "and is delicious added to scrambled eggs, soups, and gravies. Many other uses will suggest themselves. Small Cucumber Pickles.—Two dozen small encumbers. Wash and wipe and place iu a jar. Cover with boiling brine strong enough to bear an egg. and let it stand for twenty-four hours. Take cucumbers out, wipe dry, place in clean jars, and cover with hot vinegar. Spice with one onion, six cloves, jl-oz mustard seed, two blades of mace. They will be ready for use in two weeks. If white vinegar is used they will bo a better colour.

A Delicious Apple and Pineapple Jelly—Boil apples and strain the juice. Use ten cups ot this and one tin crushed pineapple. The syrup from pineapple will make altogether about twelve cups of juice. Add pineapples and (31b sugar. Boil until it jellies; try out on saucer. Pcacli and Pineapple Jain.—Stone the peaches and cut into quarters. Cover overnight with 21b sugar._ Bring to boil in the juice from one tin of crushed pineapple. Add sugar pound for pound for peaches and cup for cup for juice. Add pineapple; boil until it jellies This makes a most delicious conserve. ITALIAN KIDNEY PIE. Now, hero is a delicious and—to some of us—novel substitute for the ordinary steak pie. You require -Jib ox kidney, 2oz fat bacon, J[lb macaroni, -Jib tomatoes, a little tomato ketchup, pepper and salt, and some short pastry. Put the kidney into a small saucepan with plenty of boiling water, and Jet it come to the boil again. Add salt to taste. Break up the macaroni into short pieces, put it in also, and cook till tender. Then slice the kidney, skin the tomatoes, and mince the bacon. Fill a pie-dish with alternate layers of kidney, macaroni, tomatoes, and bacon. Add two tablespoonfuls of tomato ketchup to a little ot the liquor in which the kidney was cooked and pour this into the dish. Cover with a good short crust, and hake in a moderate oven. Servo very hot.

Chocolate custard makes a nice change, and is easily made by using cocoa with custard powder. To avoid a raw taste, do not mix cocoa and custard powder together, but boil the cocoa with the milk and sugar, then pour on to powder as usual. VARICOSE VEINS. The only satisfactory method yet evolved, with the exception of surgical treatment, which will give relief and support to this distressing complaint is undoubtedly the Silk Elastic Hose. It has innumerable advantages over the old style of crepe bandage; no trouble to fit, no ridges showing through the stocking, nnnoticeable under the finest hose, giving more support, and hi colours ranging from drab to flesh. Clifford’s Pharmacy, late Johnstone and Hazlett, 162 Princes street, have large and complete stocks of the latest Elastic Hose. Country clients specially catered for.—[Advt.]
