Kumquat Preserves
| 1 quart fruit to 1 pint sugar |
Cut the Kumquats into halves, pick out seeds, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. In the meantime have your syrup boiling—1 pint sugar to 3 pints water.
Drain fruit and put in syrup and simmer slowly for 1 hour. Take out fruit and continue to simmer syrup until it begins to get thick.
Put the fruit into syrup—place preserving kettle in pot of boiling water and let them, or let the water continue boiling until syrup is thick as you like it. Put ¼ teaspoon fine salt in first water, as it adds a fine flavor. Grate stem off skin deep.
| STATE OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF GOVERNOR OLYMPIA. December 22, 1914. Editress Suffrage Cook Book: I have at hand your letter of the 16th inst., asking an expression from me regarding Woman Suffrage in the State of Washington. Replying, I desire to say that the women of the State of Washington have had the right to vote for something more than three years. I know of no one who was in favor of giving them this right who to-day opposes it, and large numbers of those who were opposed now favor women having the ballot. The results in the State of Washington certainly indicate that women assist in public affairs, rather than otherwise, by having the right to vote. Agreeable to your request, I am sending a photograph of myself under separate cover; also card carrying my autograph. Yours very truly, Ernest Lister, Governor. |
Hire me twenty cooks.
