If you are for­tu­nate enough to pos­sess a wide porch or a stretch of lawn do not for­get your less for­tu­nate friends, and give an occa­sion­al infor­mal par­ty there while the weath­er is still fine. Food always tastes so much bet­ter in the fresh air and when friends are present it makes the affair noth­ing more than a kind of glo­ri­fied pic­nic. There are few more pleas­ant ways of enter­tain­ing than by giv­ing a porch party.

Prepare as much as pos­si­ble ear­ly in the day. If you have sand­wich­es wrap them in a damp nap­kin; if cold drinks are want­ed have them well chilled, your glass­es and straws handy, have your sil­ver and chi­na ready at hand so that when your guests arrive you may devote your time and atten­tion to them.

The treats are depend­ably an appre­ci­at­ed expan­sion. I made the fill­ing two diverse cours­es here, for the first I cooked down a few cran­ber­ries with sug­ar, then blend­ed that with Ver­mont Cream­ery mas­car­pone ched­dar and fla­vors for a tart, cheese­cake, and some­what sweet filling.

Take a pound of sug­ar, dis­solve it in thin fair water, when it is boiled a lit­tle while, put in your Cher­ries after they are stoned, four pound to one pound of Sug­ar, let them lye in the Sug­ar three dayes, then take them out of the syrup and lay them on sieves one by one, and set them before the Sun upon stools, turn them every day, else they will mould; when they look of a dark red colour, and are dry then put them up. And so you may do any man­ner of Fruit. In the Sun is the best dry­ing of them, put into the syrup some juice of Rasps.

It is impos­si­ble to deal in a short arti­cle with the many vari­eties of Sum­mer Sausage, but there are three or four which can be touched upon. To have a thor­ough under­stand­ing of their good­ness one must not only read about them but taste them.
