A CHRISTMAS CONSERVE.

By ELLA STEPHENS.

[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Aaao- \ elation.] Take oranges and lemons, too; Remove the juice and pulp And add the rinds, grated most fine Or by machine ground up.

Next put through the grinding machine Or chop in wooden bowl The walnuts and the raisins good And almonds, blanched when whole. Dissolve the sugar in a pint Of excellent grape juice; Then add to it the other things And gradually reduce

By simmering all quite slowly down Till like a marmalade. Put into glasses, seal and place Within the pantry’s shade.

With Christmas roast or toothsome game This conserve is delicious, Or thinly spread on buttered bread At tea time proves propitious.
