womans world by mair m morgan admirals court meets in historic ceremony a good salad does your family refuse to eat pain everyday stewed prunes then try these recipes for luncheon or din ner nad overcome all objections a prune cake cocktail for dinner is a concoction very different from stewed prunes for breakfast a ring of prunes for dessert will be welcom ed as a treat and when the same once despised prune appears stuffed in a salad no one will recognize it since prunes are graded for mar ket these days its quite easy for the housekeeper to get exactly what she wants generally speaking the best grades are cheapest in the long run because they contain the smallest stones there are 20 to 30 large prunes in each pound but if they are to be stoned and sieved small ones are just as good then there are two distinct kinds of prunes the sweet and tart the sweet prunes have firm sweet flesh and consequently need little sugar in cooking the tart prunes usually average larger in size carry larger pits and ordinarily require more sugar in cooking stuffed prune salad may be var ied in several ways choose the larg est size prunes available for the pur pose as thickeners for the milk less than one egg to one cup of milk will not thicken the milk enough to make a firm baked custard individual cus tards do very well with this propor tion but large puddings that are te be unmouldcd will need more soft custards commonly called boiled and actually steamed are made with one egg to one cup of milk large pud dings should have at least six eggs to four cups of milk the amount of sugar used in cus tards is important too much will liquify and settle to the bottom of the cup or baking dish another point to keep in mind is the necessity for baking the custard in a large pan of hot water which never reaches the active bailing point the best custard is really over poached rather than baked a slow oven or one which registers 350 degrees f should be used also scald the
