HISTORY

1927 A Famous Sweet.—Take as many freestone peaches as there are guests to be served. Dip them in boiling water until the skins slip off easily; then poach or simmer them gently in sugar syrup, flavored with vanilla. Be very sure that the syrup does not actually boil. When the peaches are tender, but still unbroken, remove them from the fire, and let them cool in the syrup. Only a few minutes are necessary to cook them, if the peaches are as ripe as they should be. Serve every peach on a mound of vanilla ice cream, placed in a compost or on a glass dish, and mash the whole with a puree of fresh raspberries made by straining through a fine sieve some very ripe fruit; add to the juice equal quantity of fine confectioner's sugar. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.—Mrs. R. Simpson, 33 Preston Point-road, East Fremantle. (reference)
1927 Casserole of Rabbit.—Take one rabbit, one small onion, bunch of herbs or less, half pint stock or water, one small stick of celery, half tablespoonful flour, one teaspoonful salt, pepper, dripping, two slices of bacon.

Cut into one inch lengths, add stock or water, cover with lid. Cook in oven ½ to two hours; frying may be omitted if liked, and other vegetables substituted for celery. Steak and chops are delicious cooked in this way.—Mrs. R Simpson, 33 Preston Point-road, East Fremantle. (reference)
