Stewed Tomatoes

Pour boiling water over a dozen sound, ripe tomatoes ; let them remain for a few moments; then peel off the skins, slice them and put them over the fire in a well-lined tin or graniteware sauce pan. Stew them about twenty minutes; then add 1 tablespoon butter; salt and pepper to taste; let them stew fifteen minutes longer and serve hot. Some prefer to thicken tomatoes with a little grated bread, adding a teaspoon sugar, and others who like the flavor of onion, chop up one and add while stewing; then again some add as much green corn as there are tomatoes.

Baked Winter Squash

Cut open the squash, take out the seeds, and without parting cut it up into large pieces; put the pieces on tins and dripping pan, place in moderately hot oven and bake about an hour.

It retains its sweetness much better when baked this way than when boiled.
