Peaches And Cold Ham

Preamble
"Peaches are another fruit which lends zest to the American meat dish. A favourite way with tinned peach halves is this:-"

Ingredients
Tinned Peaches
Butter
Mint
Vinegar
Water
Dissolved Gelatine

Method
Put them into a little hot butter in a baking tin and cook them for about 10 minutes. Drain and allow to get cold, then fill the centres with firm mint-jelly made by adding finely chopped mint to vinegar, water and dissolved gelatine. Sliced cold ham and peaches treated as described is a dish to write home about.

Remarks

"Paw-paw is another fruit which lends itself admirably to the meat course, though its price in this State at any rate puts it beyond the reach of the everyday purse.

Prunes, however, are another story altogether, since they are inexpensive and procurable everywhere. Remove the stones and replace with cream chesse, wrap in small pieces of fat bacon, put under the griller and serve on squares of toast for lucheon or as as accompaniment to fried ham.

And finally, try apple rings, cut fairly thick, with the breakfast bacon as an economical change from eggs, which, like vegetables, are soaring in price.

From the few ideas I have given Australian housewives will realise that the necessity which is the mother of invention can be a deal more inviting than might appear at first thought."
