Silver Screen (Nov 1938-Apr 1939)

you foods wherein a syrup rich in dextrose may be used. I am doubtless only one of a small army of women who stock Karo exclusively on the pantry shelf. In these recipes Karo Blue Label was used wherever a syrup is mentioned except in those calling for white syrup — this was the Karo Red Label brand. VIRGINIA ROAST HAM Scrub an 8 or 10 pound ham with cold water containing a little baking soda; rinse in cold water and place in a kettle with I cup of Karo syrup and a tablespon of pickle spice. Cover with boiling water and simmer until tender — about 4 hours. Let stand in the water another 2 hours. Remove skin, brush with syrup, sprinkle thickly with dry bread crumbs and dot with cloves at even intervals. Bake V/z hours in a slow oven (300° F.) basting frequently. DIVINITY FUDGE 3 cups sugar 1 cup white Karo syrup I/C run watfr cup water egg whites teaspoon salt /4 luuo|juuu ouil Y\ cup pecan meats 1 teaspoon vanilla I am giving this grand recipe instead of Chocolate Fudge which almost everyone knows how to make. Combine syrup, water, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil and continue until it will form a soft ball in cold water. Beat egg whites stiff and gradually beat in the boiling syrup. Whip until it begins to stiffen, add vanilla and nuts. Beat again and pour into a buttered pan. HUBBARD SQUASH IDEAL Prepare Hubbard Squash as usual for baking. For each portion mix 2 tablespoons of crushed pineapple with 1 tablespoon white syrup. Spread this mixture over top of squash and place a little butter on each portion. Bake in a slow oven for IS minutes and serve piping hot. CREOLE JUANITA For this excellent dessert make a ring of sweet rice filled with apples, peaches, pineapple and bananas. Cook 1 cup of rice in boiling, salted water until tender. Drain and add % cup sugar and pack into a ring mold. Boil Y\ cup water, % cup sugar and % cup Karo. Add 2 cups fruit cut in small pieces and cook until tender. Unmold rice and fill with fruit. Cover with sliced marshmallows and garnish border with slices of maraschinocherries. Set in a very hot oven until marshmallows are golden brown. PANCAKES 2 cups flour 4 heaping tablespoons baking powder 2 tablespoons Karo syrup 1 teaspoon salt Milk Once when I started to make up a batch of Flannel Cakes I discovered that there were no eggs in the house. Likewise, it was a Sunday morning so the stores were closed. But the family demanded pancakes so something had to be done. The result was this simplest of all recipes. Measure and sift flour, salt and baking powder. Add syrup to milk. (Evaporated milk, half and half, may be used). Amount of milk varies according to taste. If a thin batter is wanted 4 cups are necessary, otherwise 3J4 are sufficient. Beat well until entirely smooth. Yields about 12 pancakes. BAKED WHOLE ORANGES Slightly grate skin of 6 whole oranges. Boil oranges 30 minutes. Cool. Cut slice from blossom end of each orange and remove core. Crowd into each orange 1 teaspoon butter and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar. Cover oranges with a syrup of 2 parts water and 1 part white Karo. Bake closely covered at moderate temperature (375° F.) \y2 to 3 hours, depending upon color desired — longer baking gives a darker fruit and more like a preserve with a thicker syrup. If oranges are not completely covered by syrup baste frequently. Serve withor without remaining syrup. This is a grand and variable dish. It is delightful served with ham, roast fowl, lamb or pork. It may be used as a salad by removing center of baked orange and filling with cream or cottage cheese, or quarters of orange may be arranged around a mound of cheese and served with any desired dressing. It makes a nice dessert by simply browning a marshmallow on top of an orange or a slice before serving.
