Nothing can excel the unfermented juices of fruits as a flavoring, or for giving a desirable piquancy to various dishes. ‘They make an almost perfect substi- tute for liquors, and for obvious reasons are much safer for family use. Fruit juice can be easily substituted for liquor in any recipe by those who desire to do so. In fruit cake, 2 tablespoons of molasses is equal to 1 wineglass of brandy or other liquor. ‘Those so disposed can substitute molasses for liquor in this way in any such recipe found in books, magazines or newspapers. A cake thus made will be quite as good as though the liquor was used. 11. we 3; LS. 16. . Roasting—Cooking in an oven.. . . Stewing—Cooking for a long time | .

To the former class belong bouillon, brown stock, white stock, consommé and lambstock, or mutton-broth. Soups without stocks are classed as cream soups, purées and bisques. The best cuts for stock are: shanks of beef, neck cuts, knuckles of veal. Lower part of round. Any coarse, tough part, is more appropriate, because it con- tains more extractives and more gelatine. A good rule is to allow a quart or a little less of water to a pound of meat. This makes a rich soup. Simmer slowly, and when done, strain through a colander. If a clear soup is desired, it should be strained through a hair sieve or clean towel. All bones, pieces of beef, remnants of fowl, such as chicken and turkey, add a rich flavor to many kinds of soup. Oftentimes bits of meat and the odds and ends of fowl alone make a nice soup, but by adding some fresh meat, a rich flavor is imparted. Meats for soup should always be put on to cook in cold water, and allowed to simmer slowly for several hours in order that the essence of the meat may be drawn out thoroughly.
