SNOW BALLS.
Cook one cupful of rice until tender. Wring small pudding cloths (one third yard square) out of hot water and lay over a small bowl. Spread rice one third of an inch thick over cloth. Put an apricot in the center, filling in each half of apricot with rice. Tie tightly and steam ten minutes. Remove the cloth carefully and turn the balls out on a platter, and serve with apricot sauce. Canned apricots may be used. If fresh fruit is preferred steam the apricots tender before removing stones.
