Canned corn Milk 



Oyster crackers Salt

 crackers and canned corn in an oiled baker, 

 dotting each layer with bits of butter, 

 season to taste, pour in milk until you can 

 see it, and bake in a moderate oven until 

 lightly browned. The top layer should be 

 of cracker crumbs. 



ORANGE SHERBET. 



5 lemons 4% cups sugar 



5 oranges 2% quarts milk 



Mix the juice of the oranges and lemons, 

 the grated rind of one of each, and the 

 sugar, and let stand several hours or over 

 night. Put the sugar and juice thus pre- 

 pared into the freezer and chill, then add 

 the milk which should be cold, and freeze as 

 usual. A little cream instead of all milk 

 makes a richer and smoother sherbet, but it 

 is very good without. If the lemons and 

 oranges are very large and sour, a little 

 more sugar may be added. This amount 

 makes about a gallon. 



RASPBERRY SHERBET.
