The Frontier Woman . . . Eleventh Hour Tip: Jar of Jelly By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor • xoaay x thought I’d like to share with you some last-minute ideas for Christmas. If you for got someone or were unable to stretch the budget for all to whom you would like to give gifts, don’t forget that a jar of your home made jelly, or a different kind of pickles will be enjoyed by almost anyone. If you raised popcorn and your friends did not, they’ll cer tainly enjoy that. I have even known home-made • soap to be given as a gift and highly appreciated, too, because it has to be bought otherwise. Many folks love home-made * bread and for one reason or an other never have any to eat, so a gift of a loaf or two of home made bread is usually appreci ated by those who don’t bake. Folks who live in town and do not have their own meat will welcome a beef or pork roast or a chicken with loud cries of de light and at Christmas time a pint of country cream will delight anyone — such a delicious gift! Nearly everyone has extra use for cream at Christmas time. Some folks make fruit or apple sauce cakes that are out of this world and such a welcome gift to other households, and some gath er bushels of nuts and crack and bors gave us a batch of something similar to this one Christinas and it was extremely delicious and a change from other types of Christmas candies, too. CEREAL CANDY One cup white syrup, one cup sugar, one cup thin cream, one teaspoon vanilla. Boil together until it forms a soft ball when tested in cold water. Two cups cornflakes, four cups crisp cer eal, one cup nutmeats. Crush cornflakes slightly; pour cooked mixture over the cereal and nut meats. Then press mixture into greased pan about 8x14 in size. Press down well so it will stick together. Cherry walnut divinity is a real Christmassy confection, a candy everybody will like. CHERRY WALNUT DIVINITY Two egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon salt, one cup chopped candied cherries, two cups light brown sugar, one cup water, one cup chopped walnuts, one teaspoon vanilla flavoring, one cup corn syrup. Boil sugar, syrup, salt and wa ter to form a firm ball (248 F.) Pour slowly, beating constantly, over stiffly beaten egg whites. Beat until candy begins to stiffen. Add candied cherries, flavoring and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper, or pour into well buttered pans. When cold cut in squares. — tfw — Frontier Woman Needs Letters— You will note we have no Fron tier Woman letters from readers. We need some.

Christen sen and children left Monday for Chappell to spend Christmas with his parents. Misses Hilda and Helen Galla gher will leave Friday for La crosse, Wise., to spend the holi days. shell them on winter nights, pre senting the precious nutmeats to delighted recipients. Some raise their own apples and pass them along to other delighted friends. ! Some folks make the best home | made noodles, or rich, dark choc olate cakes, moist and taste tempting . . . delectable gifts if I ever heard of them. Some farm wives put up their own mincemeat and you can just bet a pint of that will tickle the palate of the person who doesn’t make any. Maybe somebody at your house ate a certain kind of pickles and thought they were just so good. Well, now is the time to present them with a jar and the recipe so they can make their own next year. The same goes for a certian kind of cookies that everybody at yours house thinks is super. It is nice to have some sort of candy, cookies or popcorn balls on the Christmas tree for visiting small fry to each take one home. Last year we used cellophane wrapped candy canes on our tree and each small visitor was al lowed to select a candy cane to take home with them. Nuts are rather expensive but here is a recipe that makes a de lectable cookie and doesn’t call for any nuts, just flavoring. It is one of Ray’s particular favorites. ALMOND FLAVORED COOKIES Mix in the order given: One cup brown sugar, one cup white sugar, 1 Vz cups butter and lard, two eggs (well beaten), one tea spoon soda dissolved .in two ta blespoons vinegar, two teaspoons baking powder, four cups sifted flour, % teaspoon salt, one tea spoon baking powder, four cups sifted flour, % teaspoon salt, one teaspoon vanilla, extract, one al mond extract. Roll into balls and make the size of a walnut. Press down criss cross with a fork dipped in flour. Bake on a lightly greased cooky sheet in a 375 F. degree oven for about 15 minutes. This cereal candy is quick to make up and delicious and not as rich as some of the candies you might make, if you have to count the calories.
