REALIZE VALUE OF HONEY

Its Sweetening Qualities Seem Newer to Have Been Sufficiently Recognized. Few housewives realise the value of honey, yet In sweetening qualities It surpasses sugar. Grapefruit, for instance, is much enhanced by a treatment with honey. Prepare as you would for breakfast when sugar is used, only prepare the night before. Spread the fruit with a thick layer of honey and let stand till morning. It will then be found that the fruit hue absorbed the honey, Apples baked with honey are. another delicacy not too well known. In this recipe also the apples are prepared just the same as though for sugar. For six or eight apples take four tablespoonfuls of honey. Mix with one cupful of fine bread crumbs and a half teaspoonful each of cinnamon and lemon extract. Fill the apples, which have been peeled and cored, with the mixture and bake In a porcelain-lined baking dish that has been well greased. . . For bread pudding make a custard, using one cupful milk and three tablespoonfuls honey and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boiling point and add two well-beaten eggs. Take from the fire and, stir till cool, then pour over stale bread toasted lightly and dusted lightly with cinnamon. - Bake In a moderate oven half an hour. Spice sake can be much improved by ’ using honey instead of sugar. Cream together one scant cupful butter and one and one-half cupfuls honey. Add alternately two wellbeaten eggs, one-half cupfuj milk, three cupfuls flour In which two teaspoonfuls baking powder have been sifted, one cupful each of raisins and currants and one tablespoonful allspice. ' Bake in a moderate oven until brown.
