                       _when you’re cooking with_
                               SEVEN-UP!


                 for a new dimension in kitchen cookery

                    _Nothing does it like Seven-Up!_

    [Illustration: There’s a place in your kitchen ... for 7up]

Seven-Up can be an exciting new ingredient for those housewives who are
always alert for ways to put “something extra” into their favorite
recipes. The crystal-clear, lively flavor of 7-Up will take on a new
dimension when you do what mealmakers all over the country are doing ...
using 7-Up in recipes for pie crusts, cakes, meat preparation, salads,
desserts, gravies, sauces, and punches.

Your family and guests will quickly notice the sparkling new flavor, the
subtle tang, and the light airiness that 7-Up adds to your favorite
dishes.

  Now you’re really cooking ...
                                          when you’re cooking with 7-Up!



                      Baste your Roasts with 7-Up!


One of the most popular kitchen uses for 7-Up is that of a tangy baste
for meats and fowl. Seven-Up helps to highlight the natural flavor of
the meat.


with BEEF or PORK!

Place your roast in the roaster with lid off until meat is oven-brown.
Use only enough water in roaster to prevent sticking. When ready for
additional liquid, add 7-Up as required, basting at frequent intervals.


with LAMB!

Start your roast or shoulder of lamb with about ¾ cup of water to create
enough steam to last until the meat heats through evenly. Then baste
with two or three (7-oz.) bottles of 7-Up, the number depending on the
size of the roast.


with TURKEY!

Place turkey in roaster with one cup of water (for steaming). After
turkey heats through, baste with three or four (7-oz.) bottles of 7-Up,
depending on size of bird.


with WILD DUCK!

You can get the best out of any wild fowl or game by basting it with
7-Up. Seven-Up takes away any “gamey” taste and still preserves the
natural flavor.



                    For that Special “Party Touch”!


7-UP BRONCOS

  1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
  2 tbsp. corn meal
  1 7-oz. bottle 7-Up
  8 wieners

Combine dry ingredients. Add 7-Up and mix with an egg-beater for 2
minutes. Dip wieners into batter, then fry in deep fat at 350° for 2 to
3 minutes. Insert skewers and serve warm with chilled 7-Up.


7-UP GLAZED HAM

Bake ham in oven at 325° ... 20 minutes per pound. One hour before
finished, remove skin and fat and score top of ham in 1½″ squares.
Insert whole clove in each square. Mix one cup brown sugar and one
tablespoon prepared mustard. Sprinkle and rub into ham. Baste with ½ cup
7-Up. Baste again with 7-Up each 15 minutes until finished.

                                   •

    [Illustration: uncaptioned]


7-UP BARBECUE SAUCE

Give your barbecue sauces an additional tang by using 7-Up as the
liquid. Use the proved taste-tempter given below—or if you prefer, add
7-Up to your own special recipe.

  ¼ cup catsup
  1 tsp. brown sugar
  1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  1 tsp. salt

turned, baste liberally with 7-Up. It provides a special taste treat—and
helps to tenderize the meat. Use 7-Up barbecue sauce as desired, when
basting.

liquid in the recipe! White, yellow, spice, chocolate-malt ... all
flavors. You’ll be amazed at how light and airy your cake is.


7-UP ICING

  2 egg whites
  1 cup granulated sugar
  3 tbsp. (1¼ oz.) 7-Up
  ¼ tbsp. cream of tartar

Upper pan should not touch surface of water. Beat with rotary beater

minutes).

  1 cup sifted flour
  ½ tsp. salt
  ¼—⅓ cup shortening
  3 tbsp. chilled 7-Up (about)

Measure flour and salt into bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry
blender or fork until particles are size of small peas. Add 7-Up
gradually, a few drops at a time, tossing with a fork to distribute
evenly. Press into ball; allow to rest 15 minutes. Roll out on a lightly
floured surface into a circle ⅛″ thick. Fit into a 9″ pie plate. Trim ½″
from edge of pie plate. Fold this under and flute.

Prick pastry with a fork. Bake in a hot oven (425°) about 15 minutes.
Cool and fill.

                                   •

_Special Hint_ ... If you prefer to use a prepared pie crust mix, add
chilled 7-Up instead of water. The crust will be light and deliciously
flaky.



                           Some Handy Hints!


When baking a fruit pie (apple, berry, peach, cherry, or pineapple)
sprinkle four (4) tablespoons of 7-Up over the fruit filling before
putting on the top crust. The lemon-lime piquancy of 7-Up brings out the
flavor of the fruit; the added moisture assures a nice plump pie.

                                   •

For a special party touch, prepare 7-Up “icebergs” for your punch bowl.
Fill a refrigerator tray with 7-Up. Freeze to mush, then place a strip
of cardboard in the tray to make two blocks. Freeze until hard. Then
decorate blocks with lemon slices, cherries, or mint. Float 7-Up
“icebergs” in the punch; the melting “icebergs” don’t dilute the punch.

                                   •

Dried fruits are delicious when cooked in 7-Up. Combine one pound of
dried fruits and two seven-ounce bottles of 7-Up in a sauce pan. Cover
and simmer until tender. Add sugar if needed.

                                   •

Add 7-Up to your meat gravies for a fresh and zesty flavor. The gravy
will be clear and greaseless—it will not require thickening with flour
unless so desired.

                                   •

Give canned fruit cocktail a special “zip”. Drain the juices from the
fruit cocktail, then add 7-Up.

                                   •

Mix chilled 7-Up and cold milk in equal parts by pouring 7-Up gently
into the milk. Do not stir. The addition of 7-Up gives the milk (white
or chocolate) a new flavor appeal especially pleasing to children.
