BLACK CURRANT VINEGAR
To two pounds of black currants, allow one quart of the _ best vinegar, and leave to stand for three days, stirring well every day. Then bruise the currants and strain thoroughly through butter muslin. Next measure, and allow one cup of sugar to every two cups of the liquid. -Boil up together for about twenty minutes. Bottle when cold, work well and seal the cork with paraftin wax. This is very good for sore throats when mixed with hot water; and a pleasant drink mixed with cold water or soda water.
(Continued from previous page) little vanilla flavouring and four teaspoons of baking powder, Rub the butter into the flour, add the sugar and the fruit dredged with a little of the measured flour. Make a hole in the centre of the mixture, beat the eggs lightly, add the essence and pour this into the hole. Then pour in the boiling milk, thus forming a custard. Mix all together. This is a wet mixture, but don’t add any more flour on any account, and the result will be a lovely moist cake. Have a slow oven, regulo two, and cook for four hours., Ice with almond icing. The bottom of a petrol tin makes an excellent cake tin. As I have just taken a new page, it seems a pity to waste the space, so here are two useful hints: (1) You know how the tray at the bottom of the gas stove is often forgotten? Use it to drain the dishes when washing up and it will always be clean. (2) If when doing the family washing you find you want a little perfectly clean hot water, to rinse something dainty, fill the dipper with cold water and stand it in the boiling copper. I enjoy listening to you, and often think that if we could all be as helpful and friendly toward one another, what a happy world it would be. You're certainly doing your bit, and I try to do mine. Wishing you and Barbara lots of happiness. Yours sincerely, Betty Buttercup (Lyall Bay) Many thanks, Betty Buttercup, for your good hints, your kindly encouragement, and for your. unselfishness in sparing the time to write so useful a letter. The cake recipe is a most useful one,
