From page 39

Many years ago U clipped a
relish recipe out of some newspiu-
per or other, made it up and
promptly lost the recipe. Did some
spring cleaning on a drawer recent-
ty. The drawer stuck, E pulled hard
and out fell the recipe.

The combination is delicious.
particularly with ham or curried
dishes. Naturally, itis best to make
this when the fruits are in season
but you can make a very small
quantity without blowing your
budget. If you are planning to
store this it must be processed in a
boiling water bath to ensure that it
keeps. If, as { did, you cut the ree-
ipe down to %, it will keep in the
refrigerator for weeks — if it lasts
that long.

Fruit and Vegetabie
Chutney
6 peaches (2)
6 pears (2)
6 ripe tomatoes (2)
3 Spanish onions (1)
3 green peppers (1)
3 tablespoons pickling spice (1)
1 tablespoon salt (4 tbsp.)
4 cups sugar (1%)
2 cups white vinegar (24)

Dice vegetables. Tie spices in a
bag. Combine all ingredients and
boil together 1/4 hours, stirring
occasionally. Seal in hot, sterilized
jars, leaving 2°’ headspace. Pro-
cess in a boiling water bath for 10
minutes. Make sure the water
covers the lids by at least 1°’. If
you are making a small quantity,
the original boiling time can be
reduced — cook just until very
thick.

A reader called to ask me what
incredible recipe 1 was using for
shortbread that could, "nder any
conditions of mis-management,
take me two hours. Answer? The
one on the side of the box of
Canada Cornstarch. The problem
started when 1] began to assemble
the ingredients. You see, | was in
the U.S.A. and using some strange
brand of starch. No recipe.

So I called home for it. One of
my daughter's friends answered
the phone and read out the recipe.
L don’t know which of us goofed
but instead of % cup of butter, |
wrote down ’.

To make matters worse, I had
decided to triple the recipe so 1 was
working with quite a quantity.

! mixed up the combination and
it looked for all the world like Kit-
ty Litter. it was obvious that it
needed more butter but how
much? Litthe by litte, | added
every bit [had on hand. By now it
wus nearly nine o'clock at night
and I was in an ugly mood.

Brian kindly volunteered to zo
out and buy more. He deserved a
medal — it was pitch dark and in
the midst of a howling rainstorm.

See, two hours doesn't seem so
long when you consider the situa-

tion. Anyway, the cookies even-
tually turned out quite well — I
topped half of them with the tradi-
tional red cherries and the cest with
whole pecan halves. The pecan
ones are the nicest.
