(If we use cranberries we must have sugar to sweeten them, but why not substitute some of our delicious uncooked loganberry jam — which we made before Mr. Hoover asked us to "save the sweets" — or better yet, ap- ple jelly made by boiling down apple juice until it jellies, without a parti- cle of sugar. It is just as tart and delicious as the cranberry, and a change is always welcome. Don't have cranberry sauce this year.)
