Have pickings left from Tuesday's ham or fowl? Take it from the bone so it will make a nice neat package, then put it in the freezer and forget about it awhile. It will taste ever so much better later. A Change When you shop this weekend, keep away from rich foods. Your tummy and your purse will appreciate a change.

Place an equal quantity sliced apples at each end of oblong baking dish. Cut sweet potatoes in thick slices and place in center between apples. Scatter raisins over all, then sprinkle with brown sugar and nutmeg.

Combine jelly and mustard and beat until smooth. Trim excess fat off pork chops and coat both sides with jelly mixture. Arrange on sweet potatoes and sprinkle with salt.
