And Bob strode on with a happy grin on his face. Wouldn't Bettina laugh at the idea of an Angora kitten!

BETTINA'S RECIPES
(All measurements are level)
Cranberry Jelly (Three portions)
2 C-cranberries
2/3 C-water
¾ C-sugar
Look over the cranberries, removing any stems and soft berries. Add the water and cook until the skins have burst and all the berries are soft. Press through a strainer, removing all the pulp. Add the sugar to the pulp, and cook until the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. When the jelly stands up on a plate it is done. Pour into moulds (preferably of china or glass) which have been wet with cold water.

½ C-butter
1½ C-sugar
2 eggs
¼ t-salt
2½ C-flour
