baked pears, peaches, plums, quinces, oranges — almost any fruit is just as salu- brious and easy to do in this fashion: Here are sample recipes: RUMMY GRAPEFRUIT Cut 3 heavy grapefruit in halves, remove seeds, but not the core, and loosen pulp from skin and section membranes. Cover with sugar to start the juice running and after >^ hour add more sugar and let stand another ]/2 hour. Then put in baking pan, add still more sugar and i tablespoon of rum or brandy to each half. Bake for 25 minutes in a hot oven, take out and let cool. Meanwhile stir some more rum or brandy into the pan juice and you have an in- toxicating sauce to pour over the fruit. If California brandy is used, this costs less than 10^ a serving and is worth it. CLOVE PEACHES Pare and halve firm, ripe peaches, put in buttered baking pan, stick 3 cloves in each half peach and fill the hole with i tablespoon sugar, dot with butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover and bake in slow oven until peaches are golden brown. Serve hot, and if there is any juice left in the pan pour that over them.
