D. “Liberty Candies™ for Christmas HAT about Christmas candies? Must candy be omiited from the ' Christmas box for the boy at camp: and.the girl at school.or, from the little ones’ Not if you are clever in and nuts.- Such sweets keep fresh a long time and are just the kind = for Christmas boxes. They are delicious for desserts, are wholesome and universally liked. One cup of white sugar is enough for five pounds of these “liberty candies.” For making pop-corn candy either honey, maple syrup, molasses, white %3] cane syrup or corn syrup may be used - instead of sugar. To one cup of syrup allow one tablespoon of vinegar. Boil together until the syrup hardens when dropped in cold.water. Pour this ever freshly popped corn and mold into balls or fancy shapes for the Christmas tree. Little pop-corn. men will please the children. Mark in the features and outlines with melted chocolate 3 CANDY FROM YOUR OWN PRESERVED FRUITS Crystallized fruits may be made from your® own preserves. - Peach, pear, apple, quince or watermelon rind will do, Drain from the fruit all syrup possible. Cut the fruit any size desir- ed, sprinkle it with sugar, and dry in the warmer or over a very Slow oven. It may be necessary to sprinkle the fruit again with sugar during the dry- ing. When dry enough not to be at all sticky, sprinkle with sugar and ‘pack in layers with wax paper between. This fruit may be used for dipping in bitter chocolate to -make bitter sweets. Bitter sweets are an attractive variety of .candy and may be made by dipping "sweet fruits ‘in bitter choco- late. Besides those just mentioned one may use for this purpose dates, citron, candied orange peel or crystallized fruit. Melt unsweetened chocolate in & double boiler—keeping it just warm enough to prevent solidifying. With a silver fork drop the pieces of fruit into the chocolate. See that each plece is completely coated and then remove to waxed paper and leave it to harden. - late dainties. Stuffed dates are a rich confection. First remove the stones, fill the dates with peanuts, walnuts, hickory nuts or any nuts available. =Peanut- butter makes a good filling that is different. Press the dates in shape and roll them -in.granulated.sugar, chopped nuts,. or a mixture of cocoa and powdered cinnamon. HOW TO USE DRIED FRUITS Fruit paste is made by putting “ through - the meat -chopper enough cherry, peach, or quince preserves to make a half-pint with the juice. Heat the fruit and add two tablespoons of gelatine, previously softened in a very little cold water. Stir well, and con- tinue stirring until it begins to cool and thicken, then pour into an oijled dish to make a layer one inch thick. Let' this dry ' slowly,” sprinkle with sugar and place it in a box with waxed paper between the layers. A mixture . of dried “apricots and dates may be- . used for this paste. ‘Wash the apricots and soak them over night in enough water fo cover. Pour off the water, bring it to a boil, pour it over the apricots, and let the mixture stand until cool. Put the apricots and dates through meat chopper, and proceed with the proportions as given. Another choice confection is choco- Put through the meat chopper one-half cup each of ‘dates, figs, and nut meats. Add one table- speon . orange -juice, a little grated orange peel, and one square of melted unsweetened chocolate. Mould into balls and roll in chopped nuts or ¢ granulated sugar. 'This mixture may be packed in an oiled tin, put under a weight until firm, then cut in any shape desired. Here is a good recipe for maple creams. Boil one cup of ‘'maple sugar with one cup water until it forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Remove from the fire and stir rapidly until it becomes. creamy. Form into balls the size of marbles and put nut meats on either side. Lay on wax paper to cool. Sparrow Pie A sparrow ple opened in Washing- ton recently at a luncheon was de- clared by all the guests to be good, and the flavor of the sparrow superior to chicken and- equal to - partridge. . ‘Washington boys found this out long ago in their secret sparrow roasts where dozens of these. tidbits were spitted on wires before the blaze and devoured. Cleaning a sparrow is a simple matter of cutting the breast away from all other parts and skin- ning. Special traps are used for catching sparrows. These are set near favorite rookeries and dozens of spar- rows are caught at a time. Try Cheese Custard A correspondent who wished to' try this cheese custard, a recipe for which was recently published in the Leader, discovered the omission of the eggs through a typographical error, and the recipe is herewith reprinted correct. This is a recipe furnished by the fed- eral food administration, as sre most of those published by the Nonpartisan Leader: 13 cups cottage cheese 14 cup maple syrup or honey 2 tablespoons milk 8 eggs 1 teaspoon melted fat Press the cheese through a - colan- der; beat the eggs until .light; add them with all the other ingredients to the cheese; mix until smooth. Place in a baking dish and bake in a moder- ate oven about 30 minutes.
