Foods that will win the war and how to cook them (1918)

by C. Houston Goudiss; Alberta M. Goudiss

1 cup shredded cocoanut

½ cup chopped dates

¼ cup corn syrup

⅛ teaspoon mapline

Mix corn syrup and mapline. Add enough to the dates and cocoanut to form a stiff cake. Mold into neat square at least an inch thick. Let stand in the refrigerator for one hour, then cut in squares and roll each in cornstarch.

STUFFED DATES

Mix one-half cup each of chopped peanuts and raisins. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice and two tablespoons of cream cheese. Remove stones from fine large dates, and in their place insert a small roll of the cheese mixture. These are nice in place of candy or can be served with salad.

FRUIT LOAF

½ cup raisins
