Instructions:
Nearly 50 years ago, during the food shortages of World War II, SUNSET
MAGAZINE deplored the use of canned baby food (always, apparently, in
good supply) as a substitute for scarcer products. Now after half a
century, we turn to baby food once again, this time to recommend it
as a principle ingredient in Maureen W. Valentine's Oriental
Plum-Glazed Chicken.
Why baby-food plums? They're already pureed, saving preparation time,
and they're available all year.
=======================================================
============== ====
Mix together plums, wine, soy, sugar, lemon juice, onion, and five
spice.
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Arrange legs in a 10x15" pan. Brush with
plum sauce. Bake, uncovered, in a 375'F. oven for 25 minutes. Turn
chicken pieces over, brush with remaining plum sauce, and continue to
bake until meat at thigh bone is no longer pink (cut to test), 20-25
minutes longer. Baste with pan juices during last 10 minutes of
baking.
Lift Chicken onto a platter and garnish with cilantro. Skim fat from
pan juices; add 1/4 cup water to pan and stir over high heat just
until boiling. Serve juices with chicken.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same
with the human race.
