6 bananas. 3 oranges. 3 table-sps. moist sugar. Banana and Orange Tart 2 table-sps. chopped nuts. Pastry. Peel the bananas and cut them in slices with a silver knife in order to preserve the colour. Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Then cut them in slices and take out the stones. Also cut the slices in halves if they seem rather large. Arrange the two kinds of fruit in layers in a pie dish, sprinkling them with the nuts and sugar. Then cover with pastry and bake as directed above. Note. — This makes a delicious and somewhat uncommon kind of tart ; the acid of the oranges supplies what is wanting in the bananas. The nuts may be omitted. Time to bake, f hour. Sufficient for 4 or 5 persons. Probable cost. Is. 3d. 1521. Banana and Rhubarb Tart This is another very nice combination of fruit. The bananas should be cut in slices and the rhubarb in short lengths. They should be packed tightly in the pie dish and piled high in the centre, as the rhubarb will fall considerably in the baking. Sugar should be added to taste and enough cold water to moisten the fruit. If liked, a little ground ginger may be mixed with the water. Cover and bake the tart as directed above. 1522.
