Serve with roast meats and poultry. Cream cucumber sauce Pare and mince with a keen knife two cucumbers of fair size. Drain off the liquid without pressing, letting it drip for two minutes. Have ready a chilled bowl rubbed with a clove of garlic. Put the mince into it, season with white pepper, salt, a teaspoonful of onion juice and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Mix lightly into it with a silver fork a cupful of whipped cream into which has been beaten a pinch of soda. Serve very cold with fish. Plain cucumber sauce When the cucumbers have been minced, drained and turned into the chilled bowl scented with cut garlic, mix with them a good French dressing of two tablespoonfuls of oil, one-third as much lemon juice, a little salt and pepper. N. B.—You may substitute for the garlic a tablespoonful of minced chives blended with the dressing. Serve cold with fish, and quickly, before the cucumbers wilt. Cranberry sauce Wash and pick over carefully a quart of cranberries. Put into the inner vessel of a double boiler, fill the outer with boiling water and cook, keeping the cranberries closely covered until they are broken to pieces. Rub through your vegetable press into a saucepan, sweeten abundantly, bring to a boil (barely), and turn into a wet mold to form. Apple sauce Pare, core and quarter tart apples, dropping into cold water as you do this. Put over the fire dripping wet and cover closely to keep in the steam. When they are heated through, open and stir up from the bottom. When soft and broken, rub through colander or vegetable press, sweeten to taste while hot and set away to cool. Serve with roast pork and roast ducks. Jelly sauce Make a cupful of a brown sauce of butter, browned flour and a little caramel. Heat boiling hot and beat in four or five teaspoonfuls of currant or other tart jelly. Serve with game, lamb or mutton. Espagnole sauce (Contributed) Put four tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan. When hot stir into it five tablespoonfuls of flour.
