budget beaters

tested myself — in fact most of them are ones

: I never print recipes in this column that I haven’t

I use repeatedly.

‘But, rules are made to be
broken — try using that
“original” phrase next time
you're caught speeding — so
here is one that you might
like to try along with me.

The original calls for the
fruits to be placed in a stone
crock with a lid. If you
haven't one, try getting a
commercial sized jar from a
restaurant — the kind they
buy pickles or mayo.in.

FRUTTI
Fresk fruit and berries as
they come in season

(two cups of each)

4 cup sugar (repeated)
Y% cup brandy (repeated)

Starting with strawberries,
hull and slice the berries into
a crock. Stir in sugar and
pour brandy over.
Refrigerate. -As each fruit
comes in season, add it to
the crock along with another
dose of sugar and brandy.
Pee] and slice peaches. Pit
cherries. Omit blackberries
and very dark plums. Stir
very gently to avoid breaking
the raspberries. make sure
the mixture is well combined
after each addition.

You can double this recipe

if you’ve got a big enough
crock and enough room in
your refrigerator. It is an
ideal Christmas gift and I
know everyone is worrying
about that just now.

Ten kilo bags of sugar are
featured this week at Super
Valu ($4.44 — limit one per
customer) and at Wood-
ward’s for $4.59 — no limit.

Pork is being advertized
by a number of stores this
week — Super Valu has butt
shoulders steaks at $1.29
(cut the bones out before
cooking or they’re hard to
fit into a pan). Buy Low has
pork loin roasts at $1.48 and
Stong’s has pork legs at just
99¢. Here’s an interesting
barbecue sauce that I tried
over pork butt steaks, cut
into medium-sized pieces.

_ Chinese Orange Juice
% cup soy sauce
% cup fine-shred orange
marmalade

_Croughly 2 of a small jar)

3 cloves garlic, fincly minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh
ginger root
freshly cracked pepper

Blend all ingredients and
use to baste pork. If frying,

add during the final few
minutes of cooking as it may
stick.

I tried this recipe not too
long ago — two of my fami-
ly liked it, two hated it and
I’m somewhere in the mid-
die. If your family likes rice
this might please them:

Vegetable-Rice Medley
2 cups cooked white rice
4 tomotoes, peeled and slic-
ed
1 medium onion, finely
chopped
1 large green pepper, thinly
sliced’
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons four
3 tablespoons butter
1% cups milk
% cup grated cheddar cheese

Place about % of the rice
in the bottom of a buttered
casserole. Top with half of
the vegetables, another layer
of rice, the rest of the
vegetables and then the rest
of the rice. Season. Make a
cream sauce with the butter,

“flour and milk and pour

over, poking holes into the
tice so the sauce can run
through to the bottom. Top
with grated cheese and bake
about 30 minutes at 350.
