Parsley should be cut close to the stalks, and dried on tins in a very cool oven; it preserves its flavor and color, and is very useful in winter. Artichoke bottoms, which have been slowly dried, should be kept in paper bags, and truffles, lemon and peel, \u0026amp;c., in a very dry place, ticketed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePickles and sweetmeats should be preserved from air: where the former are much used, small jars of each should be taken from the stock-jar, to prevent frequent opening. Some of the lemons and oranges used for juice should be pared first, to preserve the peel dry; some should be halved, and, when squeezed, the pulp cut out, and the outsides dried for grating. If for boiling any liquid, the first way is best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen whites of eggs are used for jelly, or other purposes, contrive to have pudding, custards, \u0026amp;c., to employ the yolks also.
