Pickled Cauliflower of Broccoli

From an
1888
cook book
;;;;;;;;;;;
.
The whitest and firmest Cauliflower
that can be obtained should be chosen
for this purpose.
Cut or break the Cauliflower into small branches,
and put them into
Salt and Water
for 7 to 10 days.
The Brine,
or Pickle,
should be made strong enough with Salt
for an Egg to float on the surface.
Take them from the Brine,
and put them into a saucepan of clean Water.
Let them boil for about 10 or 15 minutes,
or until they begin to be tender;
but they must not be done,
or they will lose their crispness.
Drain them from the water,
and spread them on a coarse cloth,
or on sieves,
and put them to dry in the sun
until all the moisture is evaporated;
then put them into a jar,
and cover them with
Distilled or White Wine Vinegar.
Mace,
Long Pepper,
White Peppercorns,
and a few grains of Allspice,
may be added to the Vinegar,
which should be kept warm for some time
by the side of the fire to extract the flavor of the Spice,
but must not be allowed to boil.
Pour the Vinegar over the Cauliflower
when it is cold.
Cork the jar close,
and put it aside for use.
Fill the jar occasionally with Vinegar,
as the Cauliflower absorbs it.

Broccoli.

German Pudding

From a
1902
cook book
~~~~~~~
.
The Germans excel in Puddings,
and this one that bears the National name
can hardly fail to please
the most fastidious taste,
if the directions given are very carefully carried out.
__________________________________________
.
Put 1 pt. of Sifted Flour into a bowl of convenient size,
and moisten by stirring in gradually
1 Gill, (= 1/2 c.) of hot Boiled Milk.
Add 1 salt-spoon, ( = 1/4 tsp.) of Salt,
with 1/4 lb. of Melted Butter,
and put the whole together into a pan over a moderate fire,
and stir constantly,
but gently,
until the Batter thickens.
Now remove it from the fire,
but continue to work the Paste.
When quite smooth,
return it to the fire and continue to stir it,
adding,
a little at a time,
1/4 lb. of Sugar,
a flavoring of Vanilla
or
Orange-rind,
another 1/4 lb. of Warmed Butter,
and a little more Salt,
with the Yolks of 10 Eggs.
let this continue on the fire until it begins to get frothy,
when the Whites of the 10 Eggs must be added,
which, meanwhile,
must have been beaten as light as possible.
Have ready a well-Buttered Pudding-mould
strewn with finely Powdered Sugar and Flour,
or Bread-crumbs,
and into this
pour the Mixture
as soon as the Whites of the Eggs have been stirred in.
A round, dome-shaped mould is the usual one
adopted for this Pudding,
and is very pretty.
Directly the mould is filled,
it must be placed in a stew pan holding boiling water.
Do not let the water reach to more than 1/2 the height of the mould.
Set the stew pan on the stove where the water may be kept at boiling-point,
but do not allow its quantity to be reduced,
which can be managed by replenishing it when necessary
from a kettle of water kept constantly boiling and ready.
In about 45 minutes the Pudding will be done.
Turn it out,
and serve with any Sweet Sauce you prefer.
In Germany they commonly use
Sherry Wine
made very hot,
and merely sweetened with
White Sugar.

Flavoring Paste

From a
1932
cook book
^^^^^^^^
.
For a base,
Gum Tragacanth is used,
and the flavoring oils incorporated in this Gum,
which is made into a jelly-like mass
by soaking the gum in Water.
Take 8oz. of Gum Tragacanth,
and soak it in several Qts. of Water
until it swells and becomes thoroughly softened.
This will require about 1 week,
and 1/2 of the Gum will dissolve in the Water.
Use cleaned Gum to start with
and much trouble will be avoided
in freeing the mass from foreign particles.
The resulting paste should now be mixed with
about 10 oz. of Glycerin,
using heat to make a good blend,
but do not burn.
When cool, add to the resulting mass,
2 oz. each of the following Oils
to produce the desired flavor:
Oil of Wintergreen,
Pepermint,
Lemon,
Orange,
Clove,
Cinnamon.
If an Almond flavor is desired,
add 1/2 oz. of
Chemically Pure Benzaldehyde.
