SOUTHWEST SUN TEA (works with Southeast sun too)

Put 6 tea bags in a gallon of water in a glass jar. Set out in sun for a few hours. If it appears to be a cloudy day, I start with hot tap water; otherwise I use cold. Besides for the obvious advantage of no boiliug - there is no scum on top.

CLAM DIP

1 can minced clams - reserve liquid

8 oz. cream cheese

1/3 cup cream or 3 tbsp. mayonnaise

dash mustard

1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

2 tbsp. grated onion

dash of sugar and garlic salt

SAUERKRAUT BALLS

4 tbsp. margarine

1 chopped onion

1 1/3 cup ground or chopped ham

3 tsp. garlic salt or powder (1/2 clove garlic)

5 tbsp. flour

1/2 cup broth or boullion

3 large (27 oz) cans sauerkraut, drained and chopped

1 tbsp. chopped parsley

1 egg

2 cups milk

dry bread crumbs

You have to drain the sauerkraut, pick up handfuls, and squeeze it nearly dry and then chop it well. Melt margerine in large frying pan. Brown onion slightly; add chopped ham and garlic, brown slightly. Stir in flour and cook thoroughly. Add broth, sauerkraut, and parsley and cook a few minutes more. This should form a stiff paste. When cooled, form into balls about an inch in diameter. This is a goopy mess, but I think they are worth it. Beat together egg and milk. Dip sauerkraut balls in flour, then egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat at 360 degrees F. until golden brown. Fry only 5 or 6 at a time to prevent sticking together.

Makes about 50. These freeze well. in 350 degree oven for a few minutes through.

Just put frozen balls on pan and put until they are heated all the way
