Good Mrs. Belle Kennon grates sweet potato By NETTIE WHIDDEN IMMOKALEE, April 18 Belle Kennon is an old time cracker cook famous for her sweet potato pone.

She's the daughter of Bill Brown, one of South Florida's pioneers, and "Aunt" Jane Brown who taught her daughter to cook by adding a dash of this and a pinch of that. For sweet potato pone' the wry Aunt Belle makes it, always use freshly dug potatoes and never use vanilla. SW EET TOTATO PONE Take six or eight medium sweet potatoes, wash and peel. Grate on medium side -of grater. Add five unbeaten eggs, hi pound of butter, 1 large teacup of white sugar, cup cane syrup, 1 can condensed milk, 1 teaspoon allspice, hi teaspoon cinnamon, hi teaspoon cloves.

Mix thoroughly. Wash well three medium oranges and grate the peeling only into the potato mixture. Tour into a large, well greased pan (about three or four inches deep). Cook in a slow oven for about one hour. Stir well three times during the hour.

If you don't want to go to quite so much trouble for a sweet potato dessert try sweet potato pudding. SWEET TOTATO PUDDING Use about one dozen small boiled sweet potatoes. Peel and run through colander- or mash well. To this add: 5 eggs unbeaten 'j pound butter 1 large teacup sugar Vt cup cane syrup 1 can condensed milk 1 teaspoon allspice Vi teaspoon cinnamon teaspoon cloves Vanilla to taste. Mix together and pour into a large, greased shallow pan and bake in slow oven about one hour.

For sweet potato custard use vour favorite pie crust recipe.

Swamp cabbage is a favorite with most old timers. And even the younger generation finds it tasty dish when prepared correctly. Swamp cabbage is the bud of the cabbage or sabal palm.

can either be eaten raw in a hearts of palm salad or cooked as Aunt Belle does. A favorite method is to take three cabbages and cut off the bitter portion at the base and prepare by removing the boots. Cut up the cahbages fine and put water to which one tablespoon vinegar has been added to keep the cabbage from discoloring. Fry out about eight small slices of white bacon (salt pork) the pot, drain cabbage and put in pot adding enough boiling water to cover. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add hi pound of butter. When tender (they cook quickly) take up, add hi cup canned milk, stir thoroughly and serve. A favorite with Mrs. Kennon's children is swamp cabbage cooked in heads. Cut the bitter portion off of three cabbages ring down as far aa tender remove about five boots from cabbage.

Cut head off (it wilf be eight to 10 inches long). Fry out the bacon, put heads in pot and add boiling water. Cut off any tender cabbage left on the boots and add this. Boil until heads are tender. Split them open adding salt, pepper and butter.

Also add hi cup canned milk. Swamp cabbage is delicious served with fried fish or spare ribs and corn bread. Mrs. Kennon, who was reared Indian country, watched the Seminoles prepare swamp cabbage. She said her mother often tried to teach the Indians her way.

"They would listen patiently to Mama, then fix it their own way," said Mrs. Kennon. SEMINOLE CABBAGE Make a fire of oak. Let it burn down to a bed of coals. Take the whole cabbage, push it under the coals and leave it until the two outside boots look burned.

Peel the outside booU off and eat. The Indians dipped it in lard but Mrs. Kennon said she ate it with gravy or butter and found tasted a lot like roasting ears corn.
