Summer Recipes from June 1927

Here are a couple of recipes taken from a Needlecraft Magazine. They are suggested for wedding or graduate receptions.

Economical Chicken Salad
1 cup cooked chicken (large cubes)
1 cup diced cooked veal
3 slices crisp bacon
1 cuo mayonnaise
1/2 cup sliced celery
6 sliced olives
Combine all ingredients except the bacon and marinate in oil, salt and paprika with a little of lemon juice. This gives a much moister salad and calls for less mayonnaise. When ready to serve, add the bacon finely minced, mask with mayonnaise, surround with small lettuce leaves and garnish with rose radishes and sliced hard-cooked egg, or halves of stuffed eggs. This salad is extreely good, very good-looking, and less expensive than straight chicken salad. About six portions.

Prohibition Mint Julep
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 pint of charged water
6 lemmons, juice
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup strawberry juice
Boil the water and sugar for ten minutes, then remove from the stove, add the mint leaves, cover and let stand ten minutes before straining. When cool, add the combined fruit juices and allow to blend for an hour. Chill, and when ready to serve, add the charged wqater and a cup of cracked ice. About fifteen small punch cups.
This last drink sounds delicious but I am not sure what charged water is. I imagine is carbonated water. I google for "charged water" and I only got electrically water and healing water results. I will try the recipe with carbonated water and ginger ale and see what comes out.
