i've come TO you loI HelP'
Molly announced to her friend,
the Wednesday before Christmas.
All my gifts are wrapped and
mailed except a few baskets
which l want to fill with candy. /
There are a few people on my list
who can be pleased by nothing so
much as some homemade sweets.
| hate to think of working alone,
though. 1t saves so much time II
two can work at it. Hence my call
for help! Will you help me?'
The friend responded readily
and the girls hurried to buy their
ingredients and begin at once.
One dainty little basket, adorned
with a bow of red ribbon, was
filled entirely with dipped grapes.
The fondant, made of two cups Of
sugar and one cup of water, cook
ed until the syrup formed a soft
ball when dropped in cold water,
after it had been beaten until
stiff, was wrapped in a cloth
wrung from cold water, and set
aside for several hours. 1t was
then kneaded as one kneads
bread, until creamy. Molly took a
large spoonful of the cream and
put it in an aluminium pan, over
boiling water. This she stirred
with a wooden spoon until it was
completely melted.
In the meantime her friend had
prepared the grapes, clipping
them apart with as much stem on
each as possible. They were
washed and thoroughly dried.
Molly dipped them one at time,
holding by the stem, in the melt
ed cream, and laid them on oiled
paper.
After they had cooled and were
very firm, each was wrapped sep
arately in squares Of oiled paper.
With care not to loosen the stems
the delicious confection, placed
in a cool place, will keep fresh
for several days.
Molly hunted her recipe book
and the other baskets were filled
with an assortment of candy
made from the following:
Turkish Delight
Soak one ounce of gelatine in
10 cup of cold water for two hours
Put one pound of sugar to boil
with one-half cup water. When
the boiling point is reached add
add gelatine and let simmer
twenty minutes. Add the grated
rind and juice of one orange anc
one lemon. Pour into pans. LIE,
stand for from u to whole day
out in squares, and roll in pow
dered sugar.
This is nice favored with min
and colored green with vegetable
coloring.
