FRUITS
No. 1. Oranges. Cut off the tops of the oranges. Scrape out the pulp and draw a narrow ribbon through each top, passing the two ends through with a bodkin and tying them on the under side. Drawing through the ribbon soils it. Tie a bow on top.
Loosen the pulp of the orange, using a silver knife, so it can be eaten with a spoon. Add a little sugar if necessary, and a teaspoonful of sherry, if desired.
No. 2. Salpicon of fruits. Place in the center of a glass plate some pieces of the pulp of an orange or grape-fruit, or both mixed together. Arrange around them a double row of white grapes cut in halves and with the seeds removed.
Salpicon of fruits in glasses. This is a mixture of fruits such as grape-fruit, grapes, oranges, bananas, and pineapple, or any combination convenient. Divide the oranges and grape-fruit into sections, then carefully take off the skins and remove the seeds. Leave the pulp in large pieces; add enough sugar to sweeten and a little sherry if desired. Cut the grapes in halves and remove the seeds. Place the mixture in individual glasses and add two or three candied cherries to each glass.
Grape-fruit. Prepare grape-fruit as directed above. Sweeten it and make it very cold. Place it in individual glasses with a candied cherry in the center. At the last moment add a teaspoonful of cracked ice to each glass.
NO. 18. 1. SALPICON OF FRUIT ON GLASS PLATE. 2. ORANGE.
