Almost any kind of fruit may be used, according to taste. Chopped candied cherries, peaches, apricots, pears, bananas, or any other fruit desired, moistened with melted butter and spread between bread. This makes a tasty sandwich to follow a meat or egg sandwich. If prunes, figs, dates, raisins, or other dried fruit are to be used, remove all stems, wash and cook in a double boiler with a small quantity of water, until a paste is formed, then add a few drops of lemon juice. Cool the mixture, and spread on thin slices of buttered bread; sprinkle with finely chopped peanuts and cover with pieces of buttered bread. - , Mabel Sturtevant, 105 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 111.

Variation I

All kinds of mixed dried fruits may be soaked in water for an hr. or two, then chopped or ground and used for sandwich filling. Season with lemon, orange, or a little grape juice; raisins, currants, dried cherries, prunes, may be used singly or blended. In trending, use a sweet and sour fruit, as cherries and prunes, raisins and prunes, etc. - Mabel Sturtevant, 105 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 111.
