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.

their own apples and pass them
along to other delighted friends.

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. One of our neigh
