(This will be a frequent Enterprise feature,
offering favorite recipes of local cooks, household
hints and timely news of interest to the kitchen
, crowd.)
An anonymous contributor--who doesn't want the
blame if you mess up her recipe by failing to follow
it to the letter—sends this new discovery, an inter-
esting combination of fruit and cottage cheese:

--Drain syrup from can of pineapple slices and
add enough water to make 11/2 cups liquid.
Bring to boil and stir into 1 package orange
gelatin. Cool until almost syrupy.
--Arrange pineapple and cherries in 8-inch cake
pan and pour on one-half the gelatin (set the rest
aside and keep at room temperature); chill this
first layer until set.
—Combine remaining gelatin with 1 cup drained
cottage cheese and pour over first layer. Let
whole salad chill and set,
—Unmold by dipping pan in warm water, cover
with plate, invert and shake firmly.

AND HERE'S A TIP from Hidalgo County Home
Demonstration Agent Jimmie Lou Wainscott about
how to freeze molded gelatin salads and thaw them
without them being so watery. Simple. Use about one
fourth less water when making the gelatin in the first
place. Helps, too, to thaw the salads overnight in the
refrigerator.

FRESH FRUITS and vegetables and dairy pro-
ducts top the July ‘most plentiful foods’ list, issued
by the US Department of Agriculture. This year's plum
crop will be about equal to last year’s record-
high; the peach crop will be triple that of last
year; watermelon production is up 10%, July is a
month of heavy milk production, which this year
will top that of last year by a billion pounds. All
of which makes related items more plentiful at better
prices this month.
