The Cookbook.

Prune jelly is sometimes molded in ring form and the center piled with a snowy pyramid of whipped cream. A good, way to tell when bam is fried enough is by the fat. When the fat is brown (not burnt) the ham is done.

For a fancy salad cut red peppers into shreds and sprinkle over the chopped lettuce and garnish with sliced olives, curled parsley and celery tips. When using stale bread for puddings always soak it in a cold liquid. Bread that has been soaked in cold milk or water is light and crumbly, whereas that soaked in hot liquids is heavy.
