ROAST LOIN OF PORK

Wipe a five-pound loin of pork (little pig if possible); sprinkle with
salt, pepper, powdered sage and dredge with flour. Place in dripping
pan, surround with some of the fat cut in small cubes. Set to cook in a
moderate oven for four hours, basting every ten minutes for the first
half hour and afterwards every fifteen minutes, with dripping in pan.
Remove to serving platter, surround with Apple Rings and make a gravy
same as for other roast meats.

APPLE RINGS

Pare, core and cut apples that are not too sour, in rings one-half inch
thick. Sprinkle them with lemon juice. Make a syrup by cooking one cup
sugar with one cup water, ten minutes. Drop in three or four Cassia buds
or pieces of stick cinnamon. Cook three or four apple rings at a time in
syrup until soft, turning often to preserve their shape. Drain and
arrange them around roast loin of pork. The syrup may be used for
stewing apples or prunes.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Select smooth sweet potatoes of uniform size. Wash and scrub with a
vegetable brush. Bake same as white potatoes. When soft, break the
skins, put into each a teaspoon butter and serve hot.

APPLE AND DATE SALAD

Pare and core three Jonathan apples. Cut them Julienne style (in
straws); there should be two cups. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice to
prevent discoloration. Clean one-half pound of dates, remove skins and
stones; let them dry off in the oven. When cold cut each date in strips,
same as apples. Mix apples and dates and marinate them with French
Dressing. Let stand one hour. Then add one-half cup almonds cut in
shreds lengthwise. Mix well and serve in nests of lettuce heart leaves.
Mask with Mayonnaise Dressing.

CRANBERRY TARTS

Roll Rich Paste one-eighth inch thick; cut in three-inch squares. Put
one or two teaspoons Cranberry mixture on one side of square, moisten
