BOIL together for a moment four tablespoonfuls of sugar and three of water; when cool add the juice of half an orange and a quarter of a pound of conserved pineapple chopped fine. Cut slices of whole-wheat bread into rounds about three inches in diameter, butter and cover with the fruit, pressing a conserved cherry in the center of each. Do not cover with second slice.
TOURAINE
USE whole-wheat bread; remove all crusts and cut in wafer-like slices. Spread with butter and cover each slice with melted sweet chocolate; dust over at once with chopped pistachio nuts, press a buttered slice on top and cut into strips an inch wide and the length of the slice. Stand aside an hour or more to harden.
TUTTI-FRUTTI
CHOP fine one-half cupful each of conserved cherries, gages and apricots. Wet the paste with a little wild-cherry liquor and mix with the whipped white of an egg flavored with vanilla. Spread thin on single wafers.
