They are boons to the housewife ; not only be- cause they are such acceptable appetizers for lunch-basket, luncheon, and tea tables, but also because the}^ may be trans- formed into many delightful emergency dishes suitable for an entree or a dessert. A pickled peach or pear, or a bunch of pickled cherries in a pastry shell, dressed with a little spiced liquor, makes a most toothsome morsel. Plain cake and sweet pickled fruit combine so agreeably that they seem made for each other. Several varieties of pickled fruit may be served together as a spiced fruit salad. These are but three of the many dishes which may be concocted by using the sweet pickle as a basis. Others will suggest themselves.

A very good proportion for the syrup is three pints of "coffee C" sugar to one quart of good cider vinegar. The spices commonly used for this variety of pickle are cloves and cinnamon, and the proportion two teaspoons PICKLES AND CATSUPS 867 of the former and four tablespoons of the latter to each gallon of fruit.
