Hints for the Home . Made From Grape*. The lover of grapes feels that their delicacy of flavor, their sweet- ness and aroma are enough excuse for their eating. But be it known that the grape comes next to the apple as a health-giving food. And as there are few ailments which the * grape augments and many which it 1 lessens, no one need be afraid of eating it. If you like fresh grapes better than any other kind you can keep a few choice bunches fresh for many davs by following this advice : Cap the stem of the grape with a bit of sealing wax, thus cutting off all air from the open end of the stem. Now tie a sheet of tissue pa- per loosely about the bunch, bring- * ing the four corners and the edgej up about the stem and tying them there securely. Hang the bunch up in a cool, dark place until wanted. If you have an especially choice grapevine and desire to keep the grapes from it for some special oc- casion not more than a week or two distant, try this method of keeping them. Grape Pie. Grape pie is a deli- cacy Httle appreciated. It is really equal to any other fruit pie. To make it, press grapes through a fine sieve, to remove seed}. Sweet- en the pulp and use to fill a two- crust pie. The pie can be made with one crust, with a meringue, if desired. Grape Dessert. Put grape pulp, prepared as for grape pie, into herbet glasses. It should be chill- ed through. Pile whipped cream, likewise through on top and serve. Grape Parfait. Boil one cupful of granulated sugar with a third of a cupful of water until it threads. Beat the whites of two eggs and pour the syrup on them slowly, beating all the time, until cold. In the meantime, have readv a cupful of cream, whipped, and whipped with half a cupful of grape pulp, well sweetened, and the juice of a lemon. Fold the two mixtures to- gether and freeze. Grape Tapiwa. This is some- times called grape soup, and can be served cold or hot in place of soup. It also makes a very dainty des- sert and one that can be safely giv- en to an invalid. To make it press ripe pranes through a sieve until you have a "nsrt. Simmer two eup- ful. of water and a cupful of sugar until clear and then add the juice of a lemon and the grape pulp and juice. Add a tablespoonful of tapioca, of the instantaneous var- ietv. <..r else tapioca that has been softened in cold water. If cold, add shaxed ice to it. Grape Butler. For grace butter wash, steam and stew seven pounds of grape and press them through a sieve. Add 3 l j pounds seven cup- fuls of granulated sugar. Mix l 1 ^ tabiespoonfuls of small bits of stick cinnamon, the same amount of all- spice and a tablespoonful of cloves. Tie the s.pice in two small cheese- cloth bags. Add to the sugar and grapes and stew over a quick fire for 2"> minutes after it begins to boil Grape Conserre. Cook five poucds of grapes until tender and press them through a sieve, remov- ing the skins and seeds. Mash the Krapes before cooking them and cook in a double boiler. Boil the outer yellow skin of three oranges in the water, drain and chop fine. Add to the itrape pulp and add five pounds of granulated sugar, a pound eAch of shelled walnuts and raisins and the juice of th'e three oranges strained. Boil until thick and pack into glasses. Grape Juice. Grape juice, which retains so much of the flavor ol the grape, and can be made into so many delicious beverages and des- serts for winter, is well made by the following recipe-: Heat very ripe grapes in a crock in the oven or in a double boiler or fireless cooker. When the kins are ten- der drain in a jellv bag. Heat the resulting juice, add sugar, bring to the boiiinjr. point aud pour into sterilized >ars or bottle*. If you use bottles, sterilize the corks and after they are in the bottles cover with sealing wax. Use either half as much or a quarter as much ugar as grape- juice. The amount added must depend on your taste, but remember that it is an easy matter to add more sugar to the grape juice, but it is impossible to take any from it later on. If you desire a clear grape juice, let the bag drip without squeezing. A more economical rneu*od is to squeeze the bag. The resulting *rape juice will ibe a little cloudy, k but its flavor will be quite as good. >\ ith Sour Milk. Sour Milk Ginger Bread.
