With dried fruit add 1 teaspoon of Blue Ribbon lemon extract. Bake or steam. Chocolate Pudding—Use Cottage Pudding recipe, but add 214 squares melted chocolate after the sugar is added. Cake with Sauce—Any kind of cake is nice steamed and sliced with a rich, hot pudding sauce over it. Cake with raisins in, served in this man- ner, is a very good and wholesome substitute for plum pudding. Stale cakes may also be served in this manner. Pandowdy—Pare, core, and slice thin, sour, juicy apples; grease a deep dish and put ina layer of apples, sweeten with sugar and flavor with lemon; strew over it a layer of bread crumbs and bits of butter; repeat alternately until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of bread crumbs. Bake until the apples are soft. Serve with cream. Apple Roly Poly—Peel and core sour apples and plunge in cold water, make rich tea biscuit dough rolled thin, slice the apples and lay on the crust, roll up, tuck ends in, prick deeply with a fork, put in a steamer and steam 134 hours. Or place in buttered tin and bake. Cut across and serve with lemon sauce. Roly Poly is also very nice made of huckleberries or blackberries instead of apples. In this case cream is the proper sauce to serve with it.
