Skin and draw rabbit. Cut it into pieces. Put it into

Put in a greased baking dish large enough for just one
layer, not packing too closely. Make a su'up by boiling
one cup of corn sirup, 34 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons or
more of butter✪ Candied Sweet Potatoes, and cup brown sugar. The sirup should
be fairly thick. Pour the sirup over the potatoes and place
them in the oven to brown. Tiu"n them very carefully. The
potatoes may be served in the baking dish.
The proportion is usually 1 envelop of gelatin t-o 1 quart
of liquid. Put one envelop, or 1 ounce, of gelatin into 3^
cup of cold water to soften for about 2 minutes. Squeeze
as many oranges as you need to make 2}/i cups of strained
juice and add the juice of half a lemon to intensify the
flavor. Put 1 cup of water on to heat with ^ cup of sugar
or less, depending on the acidity of the fruit. When the
sirup is boiling, take it from the stove and put the moist-
ened gelatin into it. Stir until the gelatin is entirely dis-
solved, then mix with the orange and lemon juice. In this
way the orange juice is not cooked at all. Strain and pour
into a large mold or into individual molds if you like. You
do not need any sauce with this orange gelatin✪ Orange Gelatin, but a soft
custard would be good with it or plain or whipped cream.
Place a thick slice of ham in a good-sized baking dish. Add
thinly sliced raw potatoes which have been sprinkled lightly
with flour. Pour over them enough milk to cover. Bake
slowly for about an hour and a half, or until the potatoes
and ham are thoroughly cooked. Cover the baking dish for
the first hour of the cooking. The salt and fat of the ham
are sufficient to season the potatoes. If necessary, add a
little hot milk from time to time during cooking. There
should be enough liquid to form a tasty gravy around the
ham and potatoes. Serve the ham and potatoes from
the baking dish.
If the ham is very salty, soak it, preferably in buttermilk
or sour milk, before cooking it with the potatoes. The acid
of sour milk seems to soften the ham and make it very
tender when cooked.
