Stewed prunes. Wash well one pound of prunes, and soak in cold water for two hours. Put on fire in same water, add a small piece of cinnamon stick, the peel of a quarter of a lemon, and two ounces of sugar, and cook on slow fire until soft. It will require about one hour. If an earthern pot with cover is used, put in bake oven for about two hours. The flavor will be better.
Malta Vita. Serve with powdered sugar, and cream, separate.
Hors d'oeuvres varies. (Appetisers assorted). Hors d'oeuvres are different delicacies, and, except in rare instances, are served cold. They consist of caviar, pickled oysters, Lyon sausages, any kind of fish salad, pate de foie gras, smoked salmon, smoked goose breast, and many others. From one dish to two dozen kinds may be served, allowing the guests to make a selection. Each kind should be served on a separate platter, or silver bowl.
Caviar. Leave the caviar three hours on ice. Serve in a glass dish. For each person have a round platter with napkin, a lettuce leaf filled with fine chopped onion and a quarter of a lemon. Thin dry toast and sweet butter separate.
Pate de goie gras. (Goose liver patty.) Obtainable in cans or terrines, of different sizes. Remove the fat, which is put on top as a preservative, and with a soup spoon, which has been dipped in hot water, cut the paste in thin slices, and serve on lettuce leaves on a napkin. Garnish with meat jelly and parsley in branches. Let the pate de foie gras stand in ice box a few hours before opening and serving.
Lyon sausage. A kind of imported beef sausage. Slice thin.
Stuffed eggs. Cut hard boiled eggs in two, either way. Mix the yolks with equal parts of sweet butter and pass through a sieve. Add salt, paprika, a little anchovy paste, and some chives. Mix well, and fill the halved eggs. Or the yolks may be mixed with butter, and some poppy or celery seeds, etc. Also with any kind of puree, such as puree of tomatoes, regalia, chicken, etc. If the filling is put in a pastry bag with a star mould in the bottom, to squeeze it through, the eggs can be filled in an attractive and novel manner. Serve very cold.
