German lentil soup. To a puree of lentils, add before serving, some sliced Frankfurter sausages, and a little bacon cut in small strips and fried.

Quince jelly. To each pound of cut-up quinces add a cup of water, put in a kettle and stew until soft. Then put in a jelly bag to drain, but do not crush. Add a pound of sugar to each pint of liquor, boil gently until the sugar is dissolved, then boil more quickly. Pour into glasses, and when cold cover with paraffine.

Preserved pears. Peel, halve, and remove the cores from Bartlett or Seckle pears. Allow one pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Put the sugar on to melt, with a few spoonfuls of water. Stick a clove in each piece of fruit, and boil in the sugar until thoroughly done. Put the fruit in glass jars, cover with the syrup, and seal. The rind of one lemon to every five pounds of fruit may be used instead of the cloves, if desired, or both may be used.

Pineapple preserves. Pare and slice the pineapples, then weigh out one pound of cane sugar to each pound of fruit. Put a layer of the slices in a stone jar, sprinkle with the sugar, continue until fruit and sugar are used up, and allow to stand over night. Then remove the pineapple and cook the syrup until it thickens, add the fruit, and boil for fifteen minutes, remove the fruit and let it cool, then put in jars and pour the syrup over it. A very little ginger root boiled in the syrup will improve it.

Citron preserves. Pare some sound fruit, divide into quarters, remove the seeds, and cut in small pieces. To every pound of fruit allow one-half pound of granulated cane sugar. Cook the citron in water until quite clear, then drain through a colander. Melt the sugar with a few spoonfuls of water, and boil until very clear, then put in the drained citron, add two sliced large lemons, a small piece of ginger root, and cook for about fifteen minutes. Fill the jars with the citron, and cover with the syrup.
