FRUIT PIES AND TARTS
Utilize Products of Summer
Gardens
By BETTY BARCLAY
"The hotter the day, the lighter
the meal” la a motto that should be
hung on the wall of every kitchen
and kitchenette In the land.
Our bodies do not require as
much food In hot weather as in
cold and thoughtful women take
this Into consideration when plan-
ning hot weather menus.
Smaller portions of heavy foods;
fewer hot dishes; plenty of balanc-
ing fruits and vegetables; new and
attractive dishea that will delight
the eye and whet the appetite;
oold, healthful, salads, sherbets and
desserts — these represent the se-
cret of the successful hot weather
diet.
If you are looking for something
particularly desirable either for the
family alone or when company
comes, I suggest any of the follow-
ing dainties that call for natural,
unsweetened Hawaiian pineapple
Juice as a base and other ingredi-
ents that are just as readily avail-
able. These are torrid day dishes
that will be repeated, time and
time again.

antil dissolved. Freeze to a mush
in refrigerator tray or freezer. Fold
in stiffly beaten egg whites and
ather Ingredients, and finish freez-
ing. Stir several times during freez-
ing If sherbet is In refrigerator
;ray. Serve In sherbet glasses, with
wafers or Indy fingers. 6 to 8 serv-
ngs.

erator or cool place until firm.
Slice and serve with whipped cream
and a cherry. 6 servings.

rind, and salt. Set bowl containing
mixture in a pan filled with crushed
Ice, and beat mixture until it be-
gins to thicken. Then fold in the
whipped cream and diced pine-
apple, turn into a m-.ld lined with
lady fingers, and chill.
When ready to serve, turn c ut on
a platter and garnish with whipped
cream, if desired. 8 servings.
The tart, sweet taste of well-

joyment of summer meals. Top

I know of a sour milk cake
that has had more compliments
than any expensive cake I have
ever seen. Just the thing for a

with two other recipes that you
will find helpful when you at-
tempt to keep upkeep down.

CANDIES WITHOUT HEAT
When youngsters show a yearn-
ing for culinary experiment,
don’t say “no” because you are
afraid of burned fingers and a
mess in the kitchen. Give them
these candy recipes that don’t
need to go near the stove. Even
the very youngest cooks can
master these sweets made with
sweetened condensed milk. They
are literally failure proof if you
use this magic milk. A creamy
smooth fondant can be made in
five minutes and doesn’t need
to “ripen.” The children can en-
joy the fruits of their triumph
right away.
Cocoa Patties
1-4 cup cocoa
3-4 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1-4 cup sweetened condensed
milk

fectioners’ sugar. Moisten with
butter, sweetened condensed milk
