Almost an unlimited variety of delicious fruit salads may be made in combination with the following foundation: Soak 1 tablesp clear granulated gelatine in 1 cup cold water and add 1 cup sugar. If you have fruit juice of any kind on hand, put 1 pt over fire to heat to the boiling point, and pour on the soaked gelatine, and stir until dissolved. If you have no fruit juice, use water, then pour over the fruit and put in a cool place to harden. Delicious fruit combinations are: Oranges, bananas and pineapple, or grated pineapple alone, or grated pineapple and chopped nuts, or canned cherries alone, or canned peaches, canned pears, and pineapple, or pineapple and strawberries, or any combination of the above, and canned apricots, raspberries, or indeed, any fruit. I save the juices from canned fruits when I make pies, to use to dissolve the gelatine, or when canned fruits are used for the salad, pour off the juice and use it in this way. Serve fruit salad with whipped cream.-[Mrs. C. W. K., 111.
