e corners,
twist, and place in a moderate oven to bake the onion tender. Serve with
white sauce.
Fresh Tomato Tart Salad
With a round cooky cutter make rounds of pastry. Cut an equal number
with the doughnut cutter. Prick, sprinkle lightly with grated cheese and
bake a light brown. Place a plain shell on a crisp lettuce leaf, add a
slice of tomato, not larger, on top. Then pour on a little mayonnaise
and place on top the tart shell with a hole in the center. Serve at
once.
Green Tomato Mince Pie
One peck of green tomatoes, put through a food chopper. Boil, drain and
add as much water as juice drained out. Scald and drain again. Add water
as before, scald and redrain. This time add half as much water, then the
following:--
3 pounds brown sugar
2 pounds raisins
2 tablespoonfuls nutmeg
2 tablespoonfuls cinnamon
2 tablespoonfuls cloves
2 tablespoonfuls allspice
2 tablespoonfuls salt
Boil all together, and add one cup of vinegar. Cook till thick as
desired. Put in jars and seal.
To one pint of this mixture add one cup of chopped apple and the juice
and rind, grated or ground. Sweeten to taste, fill crust and bake as the
usual mince pie.
Evaporated apples may be used, but grind before soaking and do not cook.
These pies will not harm children, and are very inexpensive, as compared
to those made of mincemeat.
Plum Tomato Preserves Turnovers
Make a circle as big as a saucer, or a square equal in area. Fill the
center with plum tomato preserve and fold over matching edges, either as
a half circle, or a triangle. Prick and bake.
Turnovers are especially ideal as pies for fitting into lunch boxes, and
may be made of any sweetened vegetable preserve for school lunches.
King Cabbage Tarts
Use cabbage, which has been boiled in salted water and seasoned with
salt and pepper to taste. Make a white sauce and pour over, mixing well
with the cabbage. Fill round muffin pans lined with pastry circles,
sprinkle with cheese over the top and bake. Carrots may be used the same
way, omitting the cheese and using latticed strips of pastry over the
top. These will be hardly recognizable as such common vegetables.
