HINTS FOR | HOMEMAKERS By Irene Junes, Home Ssrrioe Director. Virginia Electric | And Power Company OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS GIFTS PREPARED AT HOME Now that Thanksgiving day has passed, our thoughts are turning to the Christmas holidays. One of our first thoughts toward the holiday plans is the making of fruit cake and pium pudding, because, as you know, these are traditional in the South. They can be made in various sizes and shapes. The earlier they are made, the better they will be, for they improve with age Gifts that express your ingenuity as well as your affection are doubly prized. So why not make some of your gifts in the kitchen, gifts of rich fruit cake? If you do not have a favorite traditional recipe, hen is one for you Fruit Cake 2 cups butter 2 cups sugar 8 eggs 1 tbsp molasses optional 1 cup sour or buttermilk 1 glass jelly or preserves 6 1-2 cups sifted flour . 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp soda 1-2 tsp each cloves, nutmeg 1 tsp each cinnamon, salt 8 lbs raisins 1 lb white raisins 1 lb shelled nuts 1 lb citron ? 1-2 lb each pineapple, cherries figs. currant* 1-4 lb orange, lemon perl 1 cup fruit juice 4 hard tart juicy apples Soak chopped fruit 12 hours in the 1 cup juice, then before dusting with half of flour, add nuts and grated apple. Cream butter, add sugar grad ually. molasses, then eggs one at a time. Add alternately with 1 cup buttermilk and jelly, the half of flour with sifted dry ingredients Beat hard; stir into floured fruit mixture; stir together 15 min. Bake in paper lined pans at 250* or 275* Allow 2 hours for first pound, and 30 min for each additional pound in pan (Wine may be substituted for fruit juice, buttermilk or both Make any desired fruit substitutions, but keep same weights.) Some of your family may prefer a white fruit cake, so here is a recipe for a cake that is sure to satisfy them. White Fruit Cake 4 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1-2 tsp soda 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 cup butter or other shortening 10 egg whites N 1 pound sultana raisins 1-2 pound citron, finely cut 1 pound blanched almonds, finely cut 1-2 tsp salt 1 1-2 cups sugar 1-2 pound each crystallized orange peel, lemon peel, pineapple, and red cherries, finely cut Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder, soda and salt Sift to gether three times. Sift one cup of flour mixture over fruits and nuts; mix thoroughly. Cream shortening thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluf fy. Add remaining dry ingredients to creamed mixture, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth Add lemon luirtv nut*; and fruits Fold in egg whites Bak. in paper lined pans. Baking temper ature?275 degrees. Approximate baking time guide for individual pan 1 hour fur first pound; 30 minutes for each additional pound in pan. If you wish to give your cakes a "professional" touch, try glazing them with the following: 1-2 cup white Karo syrup 1 tsp hot water Stir syrup and hot water together, I then use a pastry brush to glaze top of cake. This must be done just as I cake is removed from the oven. A nice ending to any holiday meal is a blazing plum pudding, so let's be prepared with one or more on hand ready for use. Any size mold or can may be used to steam it in Plum Pudding One on the Ways?One on Way "EEL D D 470 HULL-8O4I U.S.S.BACHE The destroyer Farenhnlt slides down ttie ways at the Staten Island, N.
