Warm one pint of milk to blood heat, flavor as desired; stir in one junket tablet which has been dissolved in a little water and pour into a dish; set on ice. Serve with cranberry or prune sauce and wafers.
CRANBERRY SAUCE, STERILIZED.
Put one cup of cranberries into a pint jar, add two and one-half tablespoonfuls of sugar and sufficient water to fill the jar; screw tight and cook in a water bath for 40 minutes or longer. Let cool and run through a colander.
RHUBARB WINE.
Wash, and cut the red end of the plant into half inch pieces. Put into a Mason jar, fill with water, screw tight and set on a grate in a water bath. Cook 40 to 50 minutes. Raisin wine or any kind of berry juice may be prepared in the same manner. Sugar is not necessary. Stewed fruit prepared in this manner is more wholesome and requires less sugar than if cooked in the ordinary way. For fruit juice take one cup of fruit to one and a half or two of water.

MILK.
In preparing modified milk or other fluid foods for infants, where top milk is used, it is very important that the milk contain the same amount of cream for each feeding, or else digestive disturbance and irregularity of bowel movements will occur.
If milk, fresh from the cow and run through the cooler, is put into bottles or jars and kept at the same temperature, the same percentage of top-milk will be obtained daily. Five hours is generally sufficient to obtain the desired quality. The best means of removing it is by a spoon or siphon.
