Honey does a better job of sweeten- 

 ing cold fruits, dry cereals and iced tea 

 if it is thinned slightly, says Miss Grace 

 Armstrong, extension nutritionist. Uni- 

 versity of Illinois College of Agricul- 

 ture. 



To thin honey, add about a table- 

 spoon of water to a cup of honey. Hold 

 •over low heat or hot water until the 

 mixture heats through and the honey 

 and water combine. Avoid high heat, 

 ■which destroys the delicate flavor and 

 is likely to scorch honey. 



Keep your thinned honey covered 



and in the refrigerator, or it may mold 

 within a month, Miss Armstrong cau- 

 tions. It is best to make up small 

 batches for household use. 



Honey as it comes from the jar is 

 the right thickness for pancakes, hot 

 biscuits, cooked cereals and sandwiches, 

 and it need not be kept cold to avoid 

 spoilage. Kept at room temperature it 

 is easier to handle than if chilled, when 

 it becomes thicker than "molasses in 

 January." 



Use honey in place of sugar while 

 sugar supplies continue short. Miss 

 Armstrong suggests. Your family will 

 like its delicious flavor when you serve 

 them HONEY ICE CREAM. 

 I pint milk 1 cup honey 



6 tgg yolks 1 pint cream 



Heat milk in double boiler, keeping 

 the temperature of the water below 

 boiling. Beat together the honey and 

 egg yolks, add the hot milk and return 

 to the double boiler. Cook until it 

 thickens. Add the cream, and when 

 cool, freeze.
