Crumbed Haddock.—Remove the skin and bones from cold-boiled haddock and boil with a small onion; pick the fish into flakes and mix with each pint of fish one teaspoonful of salt, a half-teaspoonful of pepper and a teacupful of bread crumbs, fill a buttered dish with the mixture, moisten with a little water in which the fish was boiled, and bake twenty minutes. Farmers’ Fruit Cake. —Soak three cups of dried apples over night in warm water; chop slightly in the morning, and then simmer two hours or more in two cups of molasses until the apples resemble citron.
