Seventh Day: Arrowroot

No. 88. ARROWROOT GRUEL.

One oz. arrowroot, mixed smooth in cold milk and stirred into one pint boiling milk, with one heaping teaspoon sugar, and a pinch salt; stir until it is thick as cream, then cool a little, and serve.

No. 89.-ARROWROOT JELLY.

Wet two heaping teaspoonfuls Bermuda arrowroot in a little cold water, then stir into one cup boiling water, in which two teaspoonfuls white sugar have been dissolved. Stir until clear, boiling steadily, then add the lemon. Wet a cup with cold water and pour in the jelly to stiffen. To be eaten cold with sugar and cream. The same recipe, made with milk instead of water and one additional teaspoonful of arrowroot, makes a delicious blanc-mange. It must be boiled until well thickened. "Don't they always give sick people chicken-broth, Aunt Jane?" asked Mabel. "When the sick people begin to get well, they generally do, my dear," replied Mrs. King. "I am just coming to that receipt."
