Winter Preserves. 
Apple Ginger.—If the apples are not 
keeping well, it will be an economy to 
make some into jelly or preserves. The 
following is very nice. Two pounds 
each of chopped apples and sugar, one 
pint water, one-half ounce green gin¬ 
ger, or white ginger root, grated rind 
of two lemons. Cook slowly for three 
or four hours, or until clear like jelly. 
Mince Marmalade—Mix together 10 
apples, pared and sliced, one-half 
pound of evaporated apricots which 
have stood in hot water an hour, one 
quart of cranberries, and one package 
of seeded raisins. Put through the 
food chopper. Add four and one-half 
cups of water and six cups of sugar. 
This may be cooked quite easily by di¬ 
viding into two granite basins, placing 
them on asbestos mats in a slow oven 
for several hours, occasionally stirring 
the top of the fruit under. 
Cranberry Preserves.—Dissolve three- 
fourths pounds sugar in one-half pint 
water. When it boils add one quart 
cranberries and cook until the skins 
begin to break. Remove with a skim¬ 
mer to a deep jar. Boil the syrup 
three or four minutes longer. Pour 
over the berries and seal closely. 
Cranberry Conserve.—This is very 
good. Take five pounds of cranberries, 
washed and cut in halves; five pounds 
of sugar, five oranges seeded and cut 
into small bits, and two and a half 
pounds of seeded raisins. Mix well to¬ 
gether and cook till as thick as jam. 
Put into jelly glasses and seal while 
hot. 
Apple Conserve.—Eight pounds of 
apples, pared and sliced very thin, eight 
pounds of sugar and a quarter of a 
pound of imported preserved ginger, 
chopped, with four lemons peeled care¬ 
fully, the white rejected and the pulp 
and yellow peel cut up into very small 
hits. Cook all togther until it is 
thick; it may take two hours or longer, 
as it depends on the juiciness of the 
apples. 
Sunny South Lemon Jelly.—This is 
an unusual recipe from a southern 
reader who says it is delicious. Put 
an ounce of isinglass in a fresh, clean 
stew pan, add to it a pint of tepid 
water, set on the stove and stir until 
the isinglass is dissolved. Let it boil 
five minutes, then add a pint of lemon 
juice in which a pound and a half of 
lump sugar has been dissolved. The 
pulp should be left in, but the seeds 
removed. The lemon juice should 
stand with the sugar for two hours. 
Stir the sugared juice with an enameled 
spoon or a silver one, crushing all bits 
of sugar that remain in shape. Have 
ready torn in several pieces the rinds 
of six of the lemons, from which the 
skin cells have been removed. Do not 
use a steel knife except to cut the 
lemons in half. Add the lemon rinds 
with the sugared juice, stir to mix all, 
then let boil for four minutes. Add a 
teaspoonful of saffron, which you can 
get at any good drug store, boil one 
minute, lift out the rinds, squeeze in 
bag over the kettle, then turn all the 
liquid through a flannel bag previously 
dipped in boiling water. Roll the 
tumblers in boiling water, drain each a 
moment before filling with the jelly. 
Place the glasses on a cloth laid in an 
inch of boiling water in a shallow pan 
to keep them from cracking when the 
boiling jelly is poured in. It should be 
as clear as crystal. 
More New from Old. 
A new suit was out of the question; 
that was settled. The middlemen had 
absorbed too big a share of the profits 
from our apples and potatoes this Fall 
to permit it. My old fur coat I could 
make do another season, but a warm 
gown I must have up here in the cold 
“north country.” So I took an inven¬ 
tory of stock on hand. First, there 
was my suit of two years ago, of heavy 
blue novelty material, but from which, | 
alas! the “novelty” was quite worn off 
on front gore, hips and under parts of 
sleeves, rendering it unfit for dressy 
wear of any kind. This I decided 
would remake into one of the new 
plain skirts and jumpers, without using 
any of the worn portions, as the skirt 
was a deeply kilted one, and the uppers 
of full sleeves would form the plain 
fronts of the jumper. So I purchased 
a pattern, consisting of a four-piece 
skirt, and perfectly plain jumper waist, 
the trimming of the former being only 
a row of large buttons sewed on to a 
narrow fold extending the entire length 
of the skirt; the opening to be con¬ 
cealed under these, either down the 
front or back, as one chose. - The 
jumper called for a similar closing with 
the big buttons and also trimming bands 
of some sort around the V-shaped neck 
and the arm openings. 
I pressed and sponged my goods care¬ 
fully and found I had ample material 
by piecing together the best parts of 
the seven large gores of the original 
pattern to make the four new ones, 
which the rough character of the goods 
enabled me to do perfectly. The sleeves 
also did their duty by piecing out under 
the arms a little. For trimming bands 
I resurrected the full fronts of a dark 
blue taffeta blouse, otherwise too 
cracked to be of any use. These two 
materials harmonized nicely in color, 
and I got out enough from the sleeve 
uppers to make a stitched strap belt 
which was called for by the pattern. 
About the buttons I debated some time. 
Of course just now the cloth covered 
molds are very much in evidence, but 
my material was too heavy and the silk 
too worn to be at all lasting. So 1 
finally decided upon a dozen lovely gun- 
metal buttons 1 had been saving sev¬ 
eral years for some use to “turn up,” 
and they were very pretty indeed on 
the dark blue. I used four on the 
jumper and eight on the skirt, closing 
both down the back. 
So now I had a gown, but no blouse, 
save thin Summer pnes, to wear with 
it, not always permissible up here in 
northern New York, so again I rum¬ 
maged. This time I found a soiled 
white silk blouse made up five years j 
ago and laid away two years as being ! 
too soiled and old-fashioned to be worn ; 
as it was, but I found it would reverse 
beautifully. So I remade it over the 
original fitted and boned lining, and re¬ 
modeled the full-puffed sleeves into the 
new leg-o’-mutton ones, finishing the 
bottoms in simple points, front and 
back, relieving the severity of outline by 
soft ruching. The lace yoke I also 
turned, making the stock higher by a 
little stretching, boning and ruching. 
Completed, I have what seems to others 
and myself like a new gown at the fol¬ 
lowing cost: Pattern, 15 cents; bon¬ 
ing, five cents; silk, five cents; and 
ruching, 25 cents, a total of 50 cents. 
Now, some one will probably say,“Oh, 
yes! She could do it because she is a 
dressmaker!” Well, I am not, nor even 
a “natural-born” sewer, as we say up 
here, but I chose the simplest pattern I 
could find and had a kind neighbor fit 
my jumper the little bit needed and 
hang my skirt, in return for which I 
shall help her with some plain sewing 
for her children, which is much more 
in my line! a country woman.
