Instead of Sugar
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am a faithful Link in your Daisy Chain, so thought I would forward this small hint that may help many of us now that sugar is in rather short supply. Use beetroot in place of sugar in stewed fruit, cakes and pudding. Cooked red beetroot may be grated into partly stewed apples or any fruit-just enough to sweeten them. Grate half to threequarters of a breakfast cupful of boiled or baked beetroot into a pound of apples, after they have simmered just long enough to soften them, then complete the cooking. No sugar is required. You may improve the flavour by adding cinnamon or a few cloves. The fruit is a lovely red. Beetroot and apples make a nice imitation blackberry and apple pie, which is really lovely, for I have tried it. Try adding beetroot to sweeten fruits bottled in water. I hope some of the
Daisy Chain will try these ideas.
A
Regular Listener,
Rotowaro.
