Grape Juice.
3 qts of grapes, after washing and stewing Steam thoroughly Pass through a jelly bag and to every qt of juice use one third or one half of sugar according to sweetness of the grapes, And just let it come to a boiling point, - bottle and seal with wax while hot
Here is a recipe which, followed by our "kitchen
queen," produced for dinner this very evening some
of the lightest, most delicious dumplings that ever
were served with "vegetable stew," a favorite dish of
our household, by the way: Put into your sifter two
cups of flour, a teaspoonful of soda, two of cream
of tartar, and a level teaspoon of salt. Sift all together two or three times, and mix with three-fourths
cup of milk, or just enough to form a very stiff dough.
Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling stew, cover closely,
and let cook twenty minutes before touching them.
Try this recipe - then we'll hear what other sisters
have to say on the dumpling question.
