Congealed Beet Salad

1/2 package lemon flavored

Gelatin 1/2 cup boiling water 1/4 cup canned beet juice 1 1/2 tablespoons weak vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon minced onion

2 tablespoons horseradish 1/4 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup canned beets, diced

Mayonnaise

Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add beet juice, vinegar, salt, onion and horseradish. Chill. When partially thickened, fold in the celery and beets. Turn into individual molds or cups and chill until firm. Unmold on lettuce leaves and garnish with mayonnaise.

Buttered Broccoli

Soak broccoli in cold water for ten minutes to draw out insects. Discard withered leaves, and cut off tough stems. Cook in boiling salted water, uncovered, until tender. Drain. Pour melted butter over the broccoli, or serve with mock Hollandaise sauce.

Mock Hollandaise consists of one third melted butter and two thirds mayonnaise well stirred together.

Salmon Puff With Tomato Sauce

2 cups hot riced potatoes 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup milk

1 well beaten egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 no. 1 can salmon

Add butter, milk, egg and salt to riced potatoes and mix well. Drain, remove bones and flake salmon. Fold in potato mixture. Taste and season again if necessary. Put into a greased casserole and bake in a hot oven (425º), until brown, twenty to thirty minutes. Serve with tomato sauce.

Tomato Sauce

Open can of undiluted tomato soup. Heat and serve with the salmon puff.

Cherry Pudding

1 no. 2 can sour cherries 1 teaspoon butter

1 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup prepared biscuit flour

Milk

Add sugar and butter to the cherries. Bring to a boil.

Add sufficient milk to the biscuit flour to make dough soft enough to drop from a spoon. Drop into the boiling mixture in four equal sized dumplings. Cover and cook slowly for twelve to fifteen minutes. Do not uncover while dumplings are cooking as this will cause them to fall. Serve one hot dumpling with cherries and juice for each person. Thin cream may be poured over this if desired.
