Strawberry Shrub
Pour three quarts of best cider vinegar over nine pounds of fine, ripe strawberries, let it stand for twenty-four hours, then bring to a boil and strain. Add a pint and a half of sugar for every pint of juice, boil together five minutes, then strain again. Put up in self-sealing cans. A tablespoonful or two added to a glass of water makes a delicious and refreshing drink.
Strawberry and Rice Pudding
Boil one-half cupful of rice in milk until done. When nearly cool stir in gently, fine ripe strawberries. Sweeten to taste. Serve with a nice custard or whipped cream.
Fruit Punch
Sugar syrup, rather than sugar in a crude form, is preferable for sweetening any kind of beverage and is especially desirable when the foundation of the beverage is a fruit juice or a combination of several varieties of fruit juices.
Boil three pints of water and three cups of sugar twenty minutes. When cold add a pint of strawberry juice, a cup of orange juice, juice of three lemons and one quart or more of water.
Strawberry Tapioca
Cover one cup pearl tapioca with a pint of cold water and soak two hours. Put it over the fire, add one pint of water and sugar to taste. Cook about thirty minutes or until clear. Pour while hot over a quart of stemmed strawberries and put by to cool. Serve with powdered sugar and cream.
