Some Handy Hints!
Reading edition
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.
